Re: Re: [contentmanagers] Purpose of CM Pros

Hi Scott,

I meant to send you this off the list but your ISP is blocking email from our server.

We will donate a license of XStandard Pro to the effort of making CM Pros Web site standards compliant. XStandard is a standards-based XHTML WYSIWYG editor that lets non-technical users author content that is accessible and standards-compliant.

Regards,
-Vlad Alexander
