There's the two that ship with Joomla (BlueStork and Hathor), five more in the article below and three more linked in the comments:

There's also a few more floating around including the work done on this Joomla distro: http://squareonecms.com/. Quite a few of those changes might make Joomla 3.

But I want to be able to have a non-technical user be able to edit the content for a category of Articles assigned to them, but don't want anything else visible to them so they don't become confused or start to mess around with things which could screw up the pages. Before anyone tells me that the user should go through training and learn how to manage things so this doesn't happen, while I would agree, that isn't the case this time.
