What are people using to "author" (sheesh, I hate making verbs out of nouns) web pages? Base system is FC 3.
TIA,
Check out Nvu at:
http://www.nvu.com/
Here is a brief bit from http://www.nvu.com/about.html
"Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") is an Open Source project started by Linspire, Inc. <http://www.linspire.com/> Linspire is committed exclusively to bringing Desktop Linux to the masses, and realized that an easy-to-use web authoring system was needed for Linux to continue its expansion to the Desktop. Linspire contributes significant capital, expertise, servers, bandwidth, marketing, and other resources to guarantee the continuation and success of the Nvu project.
Linspire is pleased to have been able to contract with Daniel Glazman <http://www.glazman.org/> from Disruptive Innovations <http://disruptive-innovations.com/> to be the lead developer and maintainer for the Nvu project. Daniel has been the chief architect for Mozilla Composer and brings a tremendous amount of experience and expertise to the Nvu project. Other developers <http://nvu.com/developer.html> are also encouraged to get involved <http://nvu.com/developer.html> in this project.
Nvu was started from the Mozilla Composer <http://mozilla.org/> code base. The Mozilla Internet suite is in the process of being broken up into individual pieces (browser, email, etc.). Nvu will pick up where Composer left off, adding additional features, functionality and ease of use."
From their FAQ:
Is Nvu a clone of Microsoft's FrontPage and/or Macromedia's Dreamweaver?
FrontPage and Dreamweaver are popular HTML editors for MS Windows. These programs have become popular because they make web design extremely easy, even for non-technical people. Nvu is not an exact clone of either of these products, but it does contain many of the same easy-to-use features which makes these programs so popular. Users familiar with either of these two products will feel right at home using Nvu.
Who is Nvu best suited for?
Nvu is designed to be extremely easy to use. This makes it ideal for non-technical computer users who want to create an attractive, professional-looking web site without needing to know HTML or web coding. Nvu allows you to create web pages as easily as you would type a word processing document, and then publish them to your web site just by saving the document. This makes it ideal for home use, students, marketing professionals, general business use, and so on. Even though it's designed for the novice web designer, Nvu is also ideal for experienced web programmers who want to save time in creating content or web design. Because you can quickly toggle between the WYSIWYG editing mode and the HTML code mode, just by changing tabs, Nvu is also ideal for those wishing to learn HTML programming, as they can easily observe the interaction between the HTML code and what a user will see in their web browser. The bottom line is that Nvu is ideal for anyone who wants to quickly create web pages.
