As a customer who bought into Frontier when it was being touted as a content management system for building large websites with lots of authors:

When will content management (non-distributed-portal) customers see anything new from UserLand?

Will Frontier have any of the following features in the next 6-12 months?

Should I expect to have to roll my own editorial system to get the above features, or are these things I should expect UserLand to provide?

Is Frontier now an Internet development platform for 3rd party developers to sell software to enable content management (etc), or is it still a vendor-supported content management system that wants to compete with other content management tool providers?

When will we see a root update???? (It's been more than two months now since the last update)

Is WebEdit 2.0 going to be released (last thing I saw was beta or final candidate -- correct me if I'm wrong)

Will ContentServer ever be updated to take advantage of Nirvana features or guest databases? If so, when?

Let me be clear in saying I think UserLand could do very well in the new markets it is testing Frontier in. I just need to know where UserLand stands regarding its existing web site publishing customer base.

If UserLand is drifting/has drifted from this space, please communicate this clearly so people (like me) can make informed purchasing decisions -- whether they be Frontier subscription renewals or otherwise.

No news is bad news.

Thanks very much,

Jim Roepcke
