i've heard good stuff about this:
	http://www.secondsite.biz/

not open source - its a pay service - but it does a lot and isn't  
that pricey.

its web2.0, so that means an api ( which you could use curl in a  
console with ) plus it handles backups and all that.

also means they maintain it, so all you do is pay them once a month   
-- to me, thats better than installing and updating open source stuff.
