Suggestions for tiny CMS for programmers to set up and inexperienced users to use?

Question

Once in a while, I get a request from a friend or family member who want me ("The IT guy") to set up a really simple web page for them, usually based on a free/cheap web design template.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a choice of CMS? I have used Wordpress and CMS Made Simple earlier, but both interfaces are a bit advanced for the users with whom I am working.

The criteria:

• Needs to be PHP, since this is the language with which I am most familiar
• Needs to be entirely stand-alone, I want to pack it up in a single TGZ and put it on their web servers
• Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor (thinking CKeditor, TinyMCE etc.)
• REALLY simple admin interface
• Full flexibility for me to set up the templates, add any custom PHP code etc.

Any suggestions?

At OpenSourceCms.com you can find almost all of the cms' found in the wild running and ready to be demo'd from both the front end and the backend. Here is a link to the 'lite' cms' catgeory which might be close to what you're asking for.

Good luck, and hope this helps some.
