just my two cents - I realize it can make things harder to develop in this case - but I've been down this road a number of times - if you make it web based, I think you'll find much broader acceptance. A Java app probably would be more efficient, but if you look at the target users for content management, deployment, installation, and support becomes a concern.
I don't have a vote, but if I did, I cast it everytime for web-based. > ---------- > From: Chris Perrin[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 12:26 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: What are content management and middleware? > > I think Java app is the way to go.
