Contribute

Well, we played with Macromedia Contribute 1.0 today… and I can’t say it’s useful. It is supposed to be a content management solution, but it has no server components at all… which means others who are not using Contribute can still edit files you may be working on. It has a lot of shortcomings. For an NT shop, it’s useless because you still have to set up user permissions to the NT share you want to edit. It could be handy for FTP-based web hosts though. It’s really too bad because we did like the interface and the ease of editing.
