I am not sure if this fills all of your requirements but it is rather full

It may be a good starting off point. Good luck.

Subject: [PLUG] Content Management for personal web site

I'm looking for a content management system for my personal web site.  
I've looked at several different systems and haven't found one that 
meets my needs.  Basically I'm looking for something that combines 
certain features of a Wiki and a weblog.

I'm going to list my specific requirements below.  If anyone knows of a 
system that meets all these needs, I'd like to know about it. 

Requirements:
    1 Should be free (as in beer, because this is a personal project, 
not something with funding) and open source (so I can hack it) and 
written in PHP or Perl.
    2 The system should store content in a MySQL database.
    3 Like a Wiki, the system should use names (not dates ID numbers) to 
reference each page, and should have a simple in-site linking system.
    4 Like a Wiki, the system should make it easy to edit a page while 
I'm looking at it.
    5 Like a Wiki, the system should keep old revisions of pages.
    6 Presentation should largely be seperated from content.
    7 Like a weblog, the system should have a page that shows the 
beginning of recently-added pages in reverse order by creation date.
    8 Like a weblog, the system should allow comments on entries from 
the public
    9 Unlike most Wikis, the public should not be able to edit published 
content.
    10 Like a weblog, the system should  create an RSS feed of 
recently-added content.
    11 The system should allow me to create a page in draft mode (that 
is, without publishing it to the world).

If, as I believe, no such system yet exists, I'd like suggestions on 
what I should start with for hacking.  My current thinking is that it 
would be easiest to start with an existing open-source MySQL-based Wiki 
and add-on the additional features I desire.  (The first six 
requirements would be tough to add to a tool that didn't already have 
them, but requirements 7-11 seem like they would be easy to implement on 
most well-designed systems).  Given this, does anyone have a suggestion 
of what project I should start with?
