If git isn't involved it becomes fairly straightforward.
Have you seen this? I'm not sure how far on it is yet:

Stefan, I've been working (slowly, because I dont have much time) on
my hockey team's website
http://cmu-rh.heroku.com/
The content is updatable via google documents using the gDocs4Ruby
gem. I have it importing google docs data set up as rake tasks. I know
it's a little goofy, but someone randomly requested that the site
could be updated with 'something like google docs'. I thought it was
ridiculous at first but, it actually has all the components of a great
CMS, great collaborator management, everyone knows how to use it.
Additionally, it's great for tabular data (spreadsheets) which many
normal CMS's aren't. It's like a lightweight DB, CMS, collab tool, and
even revision manager all rolled into one.

Wonder how hard a client end admin system would be though? Tricky with
heroku but self hosted with appropriate privileges?

I'd *love* to see a recipe on how to set that up!
