Two other creation tools popped up this week:

http://www.tribeworks.com/

http://www.totallyhip.com/


And then there's the sneak preview of Dreamweaver 2.0 for

registered Dreamweaver 1.2 owners:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/productinfo/



I'm happy to have people investigate other tools, myself... for one thing,

it usually makes people more happy with the Macromedia tools <g>, but more

seriously, if designers achieve new ways of looking at the task of content

creation, then that can help the field as a whole. If there's a better way

of doing something then it's great if that info can come back to this list,

thanks in advance.
