I’m looking for a CMS based on CodeIgniter. Can you suggest what CMS I could use?
I want to learn how to build a CodeIgniter application based using a CMS as a reference.

PyroCMS have a good set of features, and modular design so you can use it as a base to develop a website. The code is in github, so you can download the latest version from it directly with ease, if you have git installed.
The creator of this CMS, Phil Sturgeon is also a member here, so you can put your question about this CMS here, and hopefully he can respond it directly.
ExpressionEngine 2 - costs, but is clearly the best.
PyroCMS - free and although looks ugly as sin, the v0.9.8-dev branch is very promising. Does lots more than just blogging.
DBlog - just blogging, but does it well.
For free solutions, there are most probably better options available if you look beside just the Codeigniter ones. However, building sites on top of CMS's are in most cases very limiting. (Solely depending on the demanded level of the site of course.)
Take a look at this template library: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/wiki/Simple-Template-Library/
Together with the active record class that codeigniter offers, you will be up and developing sites in no time at all. Without any boundaries of course!
