It was described to me as (by Macromedia Sales People) at a government briefing as "Dreamweaver for Managers". Seems dreamweaver was too complex for people who just want to put some stuff on a site. (Btw, I was never under NDA, so I can say this)
I don't think there is any way to market this as a content management system. More like a "Edit your own damn text, the programmer has coding to do" type of system. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Putterill [mailto:wayne@;welshnet.co.uk] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 12:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT? Macromedia Contribute, is it Content Management or not? It does seem to be a very odd product, I can't really see what the market is for it. I can't see it being used on large sites (probably already CMS), and I think we all know how easy it is to put together a dynamic site with an admin area. Also what's the benefit of paying per seat for this and then being tied to a particular computer, when a dynamic or CMS site can be accessed via browser from anywhere by however many people you want?
