Deeje Cooley, Contribute Engineer, demonstrated the Web 2.0 integration features of the next version of Adobe Contribute 4.0 (codenamed Hunter) at the Macromedia Max conference.
Among the new Contribute 4.0 features is the ability to post to blogs without having to create a new page or save the page. Deeje showed the audience how easy it is to connect to a blog and post a blog entry in no time at all.
Deeje also showed how the next version of Contribute will be able to play Flash content in Contribute while editing. Another feature that may make it into the next version of Contribute is the ability to edit web pages directly from your browser of choice using “headless Contribute.”
Microsoft has also announced that it will possible to use Microsoft Office Word 2007 as a blog editor.

Hi,
two corrections to offer:
1) you can *publish* from other applications using Contribute headless mode, and you can easily jump to Contribute Edit mode from your regular browser.
2) Our integration with Office is for *current* versions... you won't have to wait for Vista ;-)
peace
