Yes. Parts of macromedia.com are managed using Contribute and we use it extensively internally to manage intranet sites. > I am curious to get some feedback on Contribute, and how it compares > to a CMS in terms of administration requirements and problems users > have using Contribute versus a CMS. Contribute is aimed at "end users" so it tries to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible. Consequently, business users find it much easier to use than pretty much any CMS you can imagine. As for administration, it's fairly simple in terms of groups and permissions. > Has anyone scrapped a CMS for Contribute? How did it go? Yes, sort of. We've experimented with a number of CMS options - mostly in-house developed - over the years and now we're rolling out Contribute instead as a way to empower some end users to manage their own content. So far, it's been very successful - and it has been received better than some of our CMS attempts :) > Any Contribute horror stories? Nope.
