I have a client that I am creating an HTML newsletter template. She has no HTML knowledge and is looking for the simplest way to edit the content on her newlsetters. So from what I read, Contribute 2 allows her to only edit the "editable regions". Is this correct? Also, after she has edited the regions is it easy for her to pull the code up so she can copy it into the mailer program?

Otherwise do you guys have any other suggestions as to how she could do this?

Thanks,
Jesse

This is correct. I was a beta tester for contribute.

An administrator sets editable regions and then exports a 'key' which you give the users. This then only allows the users to edit the parts the administrator has defined.

Quite cool but not recommended for full content managed sites only for simple Dreamweaver templated sites or flat HTML sites.

You should be able to provide her with a simple administrative site where she would be able to control the content to some extend and I do not think you need contribute for that
