Give or take a year dependant on your geographical location. :P I'll agree that I think, especially in companies run by non-technical business beauracrats who detest any form of monetary expenditure, especially salaries for people who perform jobs they don't understand. ( This could be a lot of companies. ) That the move to self-serve content editing ( whether you call it cms or not ) could not too surprisingly end in the downsizing of vital IT staff. I suspect that whether it's Contribute or something else, this will be a battle that many of us will be forced to fight in the current downtrodden economy as well as in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if my own Tapestry cms winds up in that same role of potentially eliminating jobs. I don't like the idea that my work would contribute to people losing jobs, but it's a sad fact of the IT industry ( or rather technology in general ) that we largely make our livings by putting others out of theirs. That's been the whole point of factory / office automation from the start: businesses save money (in the long run) by automating tasks they previously paid wages / salary to have done. S.
