I like Comatose.  It's really good for expanding on because it is  
very simple and includes some niceties like sluggable urls (pretty  
urls), content caching, and a simple backend.  It also is easy to add  
into an existing project fairly well because it is a plugin and uses  
modular name space.  It plays nice on larger sites also.  I've done a  
lot of custom work with it, ranging from small sites with around 30  
or so page to a larger govt. site with ~400 pages, and I will be  
launching an ecommerce extended version with ~500 product pages real- 
soon-now.

Here's the project page: http://comatose.rubyforge.org/
