We get educational pricing for Contribute. It's around $80 each. Also, our department doesn't intend on purchasing Contribute for the other departments.
If a department wants to publish information on our intranet, and most of them will, we will require them to purchase their own license of Contribute. If a department doesn't want to purchase Contribute, we will be glad to post their content, but it will be posted as it fits in our schedule. At this time, we don't have the budget for a pre-built CMS and would prefer not to try a free one now. Either way, a CMS is more than what we need for our intranet. To me, Contribute is a CMS loosely speaking. It will do what we need a CMS to do. We have looked at a couple of free CMS systems, and they didn't really ring our bell. Don't even get me started on Frontpage. We have some "power" users who use FP on their stand-alone dept sites. I spent the last week moving their FP-published sites to a new server. I hate the way FP Extensions totally break the NTFS security on the server. FP Extensions are crap, in my opinion, but I digress. -----Original Message----- From: Casey Dougall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 2:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Intranet Based on CF7 and Contribute I'd like to now how people would implement the two together as well. I think the biggest "gotcha" on this will be licencing costs of running a contribute site. When you purchase MX Studio you can purchase a 10-pack of contribute licence. I think it works out to be around $100 / user. Depending on the amount of people you have editing content you might want to go with a complete coldfusion CMS type of solutions. The only time Contribute seems like the way to go is where in our scenario, clients want to maintain their own websites. User/Rolls seem to be easier to manage in Contribute vs. using frontpage in those cases. Plus it's over $100 cheaper then MS Frontpage.
