Building a CMS in ASP.NET MVC

I'm curious to know if any basic CMS code has been written for ASP.NET MVC.

The reason I ask is, I'm making a data-driven website for a client, and I've already spent a significant amount of time building it from the ground-up in MVC, but now the client wants content management facilities.

Basically they want to be able to add/edit/remove articles and have revision control.

It would be great if I could somehow 'bolt on' the content management without having to start again from scratch, developing it under an existing CMS.

Should I build the article management and revision control myself, or should I re-use some existing package?

N2 does what you describe - "bolts on" to existing ASP.NET solutions (including MVC).
