The feature set and price tag look pretty good for most of our client's needs. Just wondering if anyone is actually using it and what they think of it.

Does anyone have any knowledge about ActiveWeb 3.0 by Lomtec?? (www.lomtec.com) It is CF-based and only $2,950. Sounds good but I would like some feedback as I try to compare. </p> I am looking at ActiveWeb 3.0 and FarCry. Does anyone have any knowledge about ActiveWeb 3.0 by Lomtec?? (www.lomtec.com)

Hot Banana 5 has just been launched and it is the most cost-effective, easy-to-use, yet feature rich Web Content Management systems on the market today. Hereís a link to the site: <a href="http://www.hotbanana.com">www.hotbanana.com</a>. Itís built on the ColdFusion MX platform. I invite you to take the product tour: <a href="http://hotbanana.com/hot-banana-tour/">http://hotbanana.com/hot-banana-tour/</a>. From your posts, I see that XHTML, CSS and accessibility compliance are priorities for you. The Hot Banana team has worked very hard to make Hot Banana compliant. Currently we are working on converting some of our customersí web site designs into W3C compliant sites. If you would like to learn more about how we accomplished this task and where Hot Banana is headed in the future, please contact me.

Since I develop primarly using a Mac running OS X, it limits my user base. I have been using <a href="http://www.editize.com/">Editize</a> very successfully (we had a minor issue with the code base on MozillaFirebird, but it was an error with the production server having an older version of the code). It works really well, though sometimes the xhtml support is not as far along as I would like it.</p> eWebEditPro is okay, but it requires a PC running IE.

It supports multi-platform editing, is the closest to WYSIWYG editing in a CMS that I've seen, scales to thousands of sites, integrates withe LDAP, lets you create, display and post to RSS channels, let's you dynamically create personal sites just by authenticating to the enterprise directory, etc. It's written in PHP, website metadata is stored as LDAP objects (a very cool and powerful back-end architecture), runs on Linux, OpenLDAP and Apache, but conceivably could be totally platform independent. I'm biased since I'm the project manager, but it's a pretty exciting project that's just going public. We're also looking to start a technology development co-op for vertical market applications.

I used this in a few CMS projects, but to be honest, the published web sites had no real requirement for XHTML so the adherence to the standard never really got tested. Overall, despite having no affiliation with Ektron, I found the eWebEditPro product pretty robust (for WYSIWYG editing), easy-to-implement and easy-to-use.</p> David –
