A CMS is a massive undertaking. To even come close to the alternatives you'll need an entire team and you'll have to spend years just to get where they are. If you want to do it as a learning experience that good but don't expect to become a rival to Joomla or Drupal; everyone gets that dream and it lasts about a week.

thanks for the advice but it is all for practice, and open sourced for others to contribute to.

Then just make a copy of Drupal, that might work. Analyse the most popular modules/features/etc., and you won't be mistaken, I assure you.

My favorite CMS is Wordpress. It's a pain to add features to because the core is not very well designed, but in terms of usability and ease-of-use for non-programmers (clients), there is nothing that even comes close.

Wordpress is really a blogging platform, though the resourceful WP Admin can manipulate it so that it can become a CMS... Great thing about WP = lots and lots and lots of themes out there to explore.
Mod note: Deleted, this is not a place to advertise your business.

Writing another CMS? Just what we need
As a developer I look for simplicity to extend and the learning curve required to make a change. Drupal is mega painful because there is so much to learn before even making a minor change. WP is much simpler in that regard but the core system lacks a lot of desirable features such as proper user accounts.
