Manila vs Conversant: Website Mgmt or Groupware
By: Sean McMains on 3/14/2002; 12:17 PM
Since both Manila and Conversant are built on Userland Frontier, and since they have some overlap in functionality, it would be easy to assume that they are the same product. That is, however, not the case!Manila is an excellent tool for getting websites up quickly and managing them easily. It's very user-friendly, and even relative novices find it straightforward to use. Conversant has a steeper learning curve, but also has a lot of features that Manila lacks, including full email support and NNTP support. While Manila is really geared toward a single publisher per site and excels in that role, Conversant is a groupware platform, and is designed to facilitate interaction among group members, including arbitrary numbers of publishers.
In short, they're very different products once you get past their basics, and it's worth examining both when making a decision as to what you'll use.
