I just gave the preview version a spin. It's a nice try. If you're not going to do TTW editing in the browser then this is the perhaps the next best thing for "occasional authors". There is drag-and-drop integration of Word and Excel.
No support (yet) for secure protocols (just FTP) but I ran it against Webdrive pointing at a server over ssh and it worked fine.
The real bummer is that it seems a non-starter with Zope. Contribute needs to create the directories _mm, _bak and _notes.
Is there really no way round this? With Dreamwever you can switch the _notes thing off but I don't think this is an option with Contribute. Could a PUT_factory intervene?
This is the same work-around bullshit like Dreamwaver and stuff uses. I solved this one time by faking the objects when accessing them via ftp. Regards Tino
