Content Management Tools

[Dennis Moser]

Has anyone tried using Frontier ( http://frontier.userland.com/ ) on a
library website? It is a cross-platform scripting/content management tool
that now has a fairly powerful editing environment called Manila. As they
say on their site, it "...is an integrated Internet content system built
around key features such as a high performance object database, outliner,
scripting, and a multi-threaded runtime."

By cross-platform, I mean Mac and Windows environment (they take advantage
of XML-RPC...a number UNIX/Linux users working with Zope are active within
the user population, so there is some understanding there). I've been
informally working with it over the past year and a half and was considering
some larger scale implementations when they released their Manila upgrade.

Just wondering...
