Contribute is not about content management as much as it is about
allowing an in-house web team to share tasks without a "proper" CMS

it can be all wrapped within a team. This is, frankly, Web 1.0, and your
time and their money is better served by getting a simple CMS deployed
that meets with their scope and strategy and will be easier to manage
for everyone, client included.
With respect, this is so much bollocks.
The manner of deployment is always the client's choice. If you can offer
her something better, by all means offer, but it's arrogant to tell the
client "you have to do it this way".
Many clients won't have an "in-house" web team - they'll have one person
to whom "maintaining the website" is only 1/4 of their job. Some outfits
are still coming to grips with how they should be using the web and need
baby steps.
While it's a designer's job to help educate them, you can't drag them
kicking and screaming into something they're not ready for.
