A Simple CMS?

The open source CMS hordes are legion – uncountable and unknowable – and so I turn to LazyWeb for advice. I’m looking for a simple CMS for a friend to help manage and publish websites which are largely statically published. Key features are multi-lingual content negoiation, web driven publishing, and a simple template system.

• Multi-lingual content negoiation: The system should have a concept of a resource (e.g. index.html) that can be published in multiple languages (e.g. index.html.en, index.html.es). Ideally the interface would hilight pages which lacked a translation.
• Web driven publishing: What we’ve all come to expect for a CMS, type in your password, get presented with a form.
• Simple template system: Again nothing special here, something to separate content and structure, hide HTML when desired, and make migration to a new look easier.
• Ideally the system would also be written in PHP (as that seems to be what most of the community knows) and it would be nice if the pages where baked, statically rendered at publish time.

I’ve played withe usual suspects, and explored the offerings at Open Source CMS. MoveableType might almost be sufficient, but something both simpler, and more focused on publishing a website rather then a linear progression would work better. Ideas? Suggestions? Is the LW golden goose dead?
