No, but I've gotten a lot of secondhand information about StoryServer. What
I hear is that it's worth investing in if you are running a gigantic site
with a lot of information that is constantly changing and being added to
(such as a site for a large media operation, like a newspaper). I've also
heard that there's a pretty steep learning curve and it's kind of quirky.
What I know for sure is that it's incredibly expensive ~ around $40,000 to
implement with support from Vignette.

You might want to search the archives of the online-news list
(http://clio.lyris.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=online-news&text_mode=0) for
comments about Vignette StoryServer--you'll get a lot of feedback there.

HTH,
