Many thanks Arash. It is indeed a nice offer. I have setted an OpenCMS distro on my laptop so I 
assume I would like to play with it here (this will allow me to check the db, and make a lot of 
tweaks around ;-)).

Definitely I will take a look at the links. I do have knowledge about what a cms solution should 
provide and moreover I think I have better knowledge of what I would like to have ;-). However, the 
cms market seems very different and the approaches are quite different (f.e. I have spent the last 
few weeks looking at OpenCMS, Magnolia and LifeRay, every of them offering a completely different 
approach).

One of the common points however is the lack of this step-by-step guide ;-). It will provide a new 
user with an improved starting time, so as you may guess for the user it will be much more easier to 
decide for a solution. I don't think this overlaps with the professional (payed) services almost all 
CMS providers are offering, but rather would help gain more and more users.

these are my .02 euroc,
