Today Macromedia announced a very intriguing product called Macromedia Contribute. It’s intended to be a user-friendly (multi-platform!) application that will allow “content contributors” to make changes.

As a sometimes Web professional, I welcome this application. There’s nothing that bores me more than making small modifications (dates, prices, etc.) to a list of pages. However, it is essential that this product be extremely intuitive. If it’s just one more thing I have to explain, it’s no use to me. (I’m now downloading the “technology preview” version, so we’ll see.)

Also, Contribute supposedly includes “the latest Dreamweaver MX update.” I’ve been waiting for a fix to an annoying MX bug for some time, so I hope it’s more than just a plug-in to link the two applications.
