Expert Buzz
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/werbach">Kevin Werbach</a>, Managing Editor, Release 1.0: "Manila is as simple or as deep as you want it to be. Few other Web products scale well in both directions -- you either wind up with easy-to-use homepage-building tools that can't handle dynamic sites, or you have complicated, expensive content-management platforms that aren't helpful for beginners or small sites. Manila lets anyone set up an interactive web site quickly and easily, without any client-side software, but that site can grow into a sophisticated, high-traffic site on the same platform."
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/occhialini">Robert Occhialini</a>, Code Director, Arthouse: "Manila is an easy out of the box solution that allows non-technical people to edit their own content without complicated programming."
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/gillmor">Dan Gillmor</a>, columnist, San Jose Mercury News: "Manila is interesting for several reasons. Most important, it's designed for people who want to create Web content entirely on the Web."
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/searls">Doc Searls</a>, Linux Journal, Cluetrain: "Manila lowers the webtop publishing threshold approximately to zero. It accelerates the shift in market power from supply to demand. It gives everybody who wants to speak a voice. It's a clue gun of a very large caliber."
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/nielsen">Jakob Nielsen</a>, usability expert: "Manila's Edit this Page feature is the metaphoric equivalent of WYSIWYG for the Internet age. I believe that it is a benefit to unify your browser navigation and website editing as opposed to distinguishing between what's on your hard disk and what's on the Internet."
Featured Manila Sites: Spotlight on Education
   <a href="http://manila.userland.com/clerico">Erin Clerico</a>, Office of Kern County Superintendent of Schools, Bakersfield CA: "Since our web team has been assisting us with template design, they have fallen in love with Manila. The only sites they will build now are Manila sites. We have completely transformed our 45,000 page website into Manila driven pages."
