I always have a tough time finding it with Google and whatnot, but it's there. Anyway, they basically installed a couple dozen CMS systems, and you can set yourself up with your own sandbox install on THEIR server with just a click of a button, then administer it and play with it, and then they wipe it out in about 2 hours. So you get a chance to play with it to see if you like each CMS, and you've got 2 hours to check it out -- Or more, since you can start over with a new sandbox. They just don't want you to try to run your site through theirs. I doubt that it will actually let you write/upload arbitrary PHP for the missing 20%, but they MIGHT have some examples or user comments on their site on these issues, and at least you can play with the 80% to see if the features you need for that part are there.
