[Zope] Macromedia Contribute

[Ausum Studio]

Macromedia is just trying to fill the gap between static and dynamic content
handling, I'm afraid aimed to those sites that Dreamweaver graciously
contributed to deploy, but that now are just leaking everywhere.

They shouldn't market Contribute as a new software product, but as a
compensation to their customers to whom they made believe they could
maintain a site with Dreamweaver, because DW was never a tool for publishing
and maintaining. That illusion for many webmasters might already have come
to an end by now, but with this tool I guess their sites can still have a
little more breath.
