Simple clean CMS for programming project website

What is the best yet simple CMS for closed-source programming project hosting? I'd like to keep webpage plain and simple, include screenshot, basic features and blog headlines on main page, then have project blog, screenshots gallery, feature list and downloads on separate pages.

My goal is somethong between http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html , http://www.7-zip.org/ and http://winmerge.org/

Suitable themes for general-purpose CMSes are welcome too, but I'm affraid Wordpress or Drupal may too complex for such purposes. Or am I wrong? If I am wrong, please do not post "+1 for WP", but please link theme that meets requirements.

I'd like to host webpage on my own, so Google Code and similar does not fit.

I believe that If you wish to host a complete site as you have suggested, then MODx CMS will be a great alternative....

It is a very well featured CMS, with all webpage content being saved into a MySQL database... want to migrate your site... easy as.. Just copy the database and there you have it...

Modules include, blogging, newsletters + more!

Check it out at MODxcms.com and look up the features!

BTW... The community support forum is very, very helpful too!

Consider using Trac.

Trac is a mix of a wiki and an issue tracking system, and with some theming, it will also make a perfect homepage. You can also extend it with plugins. For instance you could implement a project blog by using blog plugin.

I know Trac has some unappealing flavours, but if you really want to focus on your software, Trac is a really good way to put all related stuff in a same place.

Of course if you already have an internal project site / wiki, Trac is not a good option.
