Have you tried letting them in via FTP and/or WebDAV? Or possibly constructing an upload form for new documents that makes use of a file attachment?
I know that this is probably going to meet with some resistance :-) but perhaps you could propose an emacs editing solution? I use efs (ange-ftp works the same) now, after finding out about it on this list only a few days ago, and far from hitting 'publish' -- I just save the document on the server, and it's live.
i have no experience with emacs. i have tried it a few times though. is it available for win$ too? i use linux at home and at work. but i'm not the one who's going to update the site :). users are heavily depended on win$ guess i'll have a REAL look at emacs now, and who knows, maybe it's time to give the users a better OS.
You will want to rebind ALL the keys for them first, of course.
will emacs work with ZClass objects? i once ftp into zope, but can only see the root dir. can't see any ZClass object.
I don't know what kind of content you're dealing with, but you may want to illustrate something simple, such as a document with automatically-inserted standard_html_header and standard_html_footer stuff in it, so they can see that they can maintain a consistent l&f w/o the standard associated mess that's required on most sites, with little or no formatting of their own.
how is it with your users? do editorial users muck around with the design? i would think that editorial should stick to reporting. and if they want new feature, just tell the programmer. ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?
