[thelist] Resend: Comments on Dreamweaver Contribute - was gotta vent

[Norman MacLeod]

We have some clients using Contribute, and they are delighted with it.  They
can do their own page updating, and we can move on to other projects with
minimal hand-holding.  Speed can be a bit creaky from the user end, but it's
a lot faster in their perception (and reality) than forwarding changes to us
and waiting for us to get an opportunity to do the updates for them.

There are some things I don't like about it, such as not being able to do a
lot of the connection settings manually, but it was designed to be used by
folks who don't have a lot of expertise there.  If I could have my wishes on
it, I'd like to be able to get into a connection configuration up to my
elbows to optimize things.  ...Maybe someday...

All in all, not a bad piece of work.

	Norman

Hi all,

This is a resend. Someone wrote:
"Contribute is macromedia's product for content providers, although when I
tested it out, I was less than impressed by the learning curve (my usergroup
wouldn't have been motivated enough) "


I am thinking about suggesting Contribute to several nonprofit organizations
to supply content to their own sites. I would welcome comments from anyone
who has used it and/or helped not-technical users to use it.

TIA

Ken
