Today, Macromedia launched Macromedia Contribute, a powerful new desktop application that aims to unleash web publishing for everyone, while providing control to web professionals ultimately responsible for websites and applications.
What amazes me more is that Macromedia was able to take Drumbeat 2000, a painful to use development environment, and turn it on to something useful (Dreamweaver UltraDev).
I just took a peek at the overview video, and Contribute looks pretty slick. Browse -> Edit -> Publish. It seems like a good combination of Manilla, Mozilla, and FrontPage. I haven’t viewed source yet on what it produces, but it looks like the overview relied on tables.
