Great points, Sean. In our shop, we have one person that does CF full time (me), one that does it part time combined with design, one that just works on static sites, and one student. We design/manage/support/build a couple of hundred websites. 72 of those are static and distributed (non-tech) staff attempt to maintain the content with FrontPage. Between our training costs to train people to use FP (we have one full-time trainer), the hassles of fixing sites that get completely over-written accidentally, and all the little requests for fixes to those sites that they "just can't figure out how to do," a product like contribute could really save us time and money. We've looked for a CMS to fit our needs. We've thought about building our own. But, the reality is that I'm busy with the other 130 or so sites that we have, and building our own (or managing a purchased one) would probably amount to another full-time job, which ain't happening considering that we work for a state that's several billion dollars in debt.
So, will I ever use contribute? Probably not. But, my colleague that designs static sites for those 72 counties jumped up and down when I told her about it. -d Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
