Actually, I don't see any difference other than where it runs. If you can integrate it into your application and give your customer this power from anywhere they've got a web connection then that's an added service that's tied into their application and thus tied into you. If they can buy it for $99 at Staples and run it at home then why do they need to pay you for a content management system?

Thats my job to build a system that my customers can use to do that. If Macromedia becomes an end-user solutions provider it undercuts my business. Contribute is fine as a generic and rather basic solution. It has a fine niche and, speaking for myself, I hope it stays there. --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson, MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com - Retail http://foohbar.org - ColdFusion Tools --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "Joshua Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 14:34:47 -0500 >Just got a snazzy tri-fold in the mail today about Macromedia >Contribute.
