This is almost exactly what Plonk_ does. It uses the filesystem for 
storage, allows through-the-web editing (especially useful if you have 
Mozex), and allows you to use ReST or HTML.  The only thing it doesn't 
support is (automatic handling of) submenus. You can have arbitrarily 
deep pages nested within each other, though, and each page lists its 
children (if you support that in your template, anyway). I'm in the 
process of rewriting Plonk to use Nevow, and I might try to implement 
your submenu thing. I'm also working on some features for saph_ to use 
in her upcoming website_, like better blog features and image gallery stuff.

disclaimer: I don't really think Plonk is the best at what it does. I 
made it because I'm too stubborn to use anything but Twisted, and to 
help my non-technical friends do what they want. In that regard, its 
sole purpose is featuritis.
