Really? There are plenty of people (myself included) who would disagree. Within a Contribute site, you can control what authors can do within an HTML page, and you can control who can edit which pages. The administrator of the Contribute site uses Contribute itself to administer the site, create user accounts, specify permissions, and so on. All this can be done within Dreamweaver as well. > That makes it a CES, Content Editing System, rather than a > Content Management System. For me the management part is the > workflow portion. For you, perhaps. However, it is considered a CMS product by the CMS world at large, for what that's worth. In addition, you can implement limited workflow (draft and approval process) within a Contribute site. The server-side CMS component allows greater flexibility with this, but even using just Contribute you can specify that an author can't publish something without an editor's approval.
