Re: [WSG] Vignette and web standards = disaster?

[Ryan Christie]

My experience with Vignette CMS has produced horribly non-standard code, 
regardless of the power behind the CMS itself. Vignette isn't popular 
because it does things right. Frankly, I just think it's popular because 
it costs an arm and leg to use, so hell -- it has to be good! right!?

Douglas clearly managed to - wired.com did indeed relaunch - but I'm
awaiting his reply. It has been a day or so and I'm up against a tight
deadline :-(
If anyone can shed light, I'd be enormously grateful.
All the best,

I wasn't - That's why I'm posting here. :-)

My clients are trying that route - you need a username and password etc for the
Vignette support website which I don't have. As the problem directly relates to
Vignette and web standards, I was hoping someone here might have the experience
to help.

All the best,

If you read Doug's latest blog entry, you'd know he's most likely on a
plane right now heading to New Zealand. I wouldn't hold your breath
for an immediate reply.

As this is a tool/CMS/Vignette issue, you might get a quicker response
from Vignette support or developer forum.
