Hi gang

I've created a browser-run wysiwyg content editor that runs in IE5.5 on
Windows only. The editor offers drag-n-drop editing similar to HTML email
editor programs. The pages edited will view in any version 4 browser (I
think/hope).

The editor is Perl based JavaScript and should run from either Unix or
Windows servers. The editor uses the mshtml wysywyg editor that is built-in
to Internet Explorer browsers so there is nothing for the end-user to
download or install.

The program can be used as a single user content editor for a site or as a
multi-author editor for an e-zine or blog type community site. Each author
can edit only within their directory tree. No templates are offered but
template creation is simple and straight-forward. The site admin can
therefore create one template to be used by multiple authors across the
site, or offer a variety of templates for authors to chose from for
individualization. The templates have contenteditable areas, allowing
sitewide features to be put on a template without the "author" being able
to edit those features.

The editor supports inserting images from the server, navigation within the
author's directory tree, creating links, lists, uploading files, creating
new directories, creating new html files from the template, and deleting files.

The program, unboundPublisher, is offered as freeware.

I just opened the site so I'd like some feedback. The site was about 80%
built with the editor.
