I think it would be great if MM came up with a way to use Contribute as a front-end to a ColdFusion application. Might sound like an odd idea, but it would be great if a CF app could somehow fire up Contribute on the client, let them do some HTML and image uploading, which then gets passed back to the CF app for processing. Some of this can already be done with activedit and the like, but they have some limitations.
As it stands, I think Contribute could be a useful app in some situations, but I too am worried about MM spreading themselves out too much.
