Re: Macromedia Contribute

I've been hearing a lot about Macromedia Contribute lately...

As a content management producer, I'm wondering what others on the list 
think of the merits of MM Contribute. Specifically, how do other mid-market 
software vendors explain the price discrepancy between a true CMS product 
and something like Contribute? Where does Contribute fit on the price to 
performance matrix? There is a fair amount of buzz around this product 
right now, and I have a feeling that question will come up more and more...

To answer Seth's question, we do not have any hands-on experience with 
Contribute, so I can't really comment there.

thanks,
Kerry
