What is Manila?
Manila is an Internet server application that allows groups of writers, designers and graphics people to manage full-featured, high performance web sites through an easy-to-use browser interface.
Who is Manila for?
Manila lets everyone who works on a site focus on what they do best. Finally users can do simple edits on their own sites. Overworked webmasters get out of the bottleneck. Communication within an organization and with the outside world improves. The team gets on the web, without the pain or confusion.
Some Features
Browser-based editing. Manage your home page, write stories with pictures, organize and present your thinking, with any web browser, anywhere.
"Edit this Page" buttons are everywhere, making site updates easy. No messing with the file system, editors, FTP programs, and hard to remember URLs. You can't lose anything because once you found it on the web, you've found it! This single feature cuts the complexity of writing for the web by orders of magnitude. It's so easy it's revolutionary.
Site membership allows you to gather customized information from people who use your site. Database storage is automatic thru XML-specified templates. Membership profile pages help community-building.
Simple publishing model, managing editor, contributing editors, members. Full discussion group runs behind the scenes. Link management thru shortcuts takes complex HTML out of the way of writers. Email notification can be sent to the editorial team when a new story is posted or when an existing story changes.
