Contribute 3 includes a set of out-of-box Contribute Publishing Services (CPS, part of the Web Publishing System or WPS) for logging, e-mail notification, and user management.

ColdFusion debug output is displayed at the bottom of the generated page, right? Well, not necessarily. Ever since ColdFusion MX, this output has also been available in a separate window, as well as in the results panel in Dreamweaver (in a really nice tree control). But, as many Dreamweaver users...

I just finished a full day of Blackstone related activities in Cologne, Germany. Once again, this was a very interactive and engaged crowd, they were even willing to delay their coffee and cake break so as to be able to see more demos! :-) The big winners, (which was greeted with the now regular "I...
I spent less than 10 hours in Italy yesterday. A quick flight in, a taxi to the venue, a presentation, and then back to the airport. The event was a combined usergroup and partner presentation, a format used during my previous Milan visits. The Italian CF community is not that big, but they are...
