I'm building a new Drupal website for our company, Triarchy Press Ltd. One of the key features is that it will allow all Triarchy editors to create content for their books directly on the website. Drupal is a great web platform, but it does have some deficiencies. The main problem from a user's point of view, which I've verified by testing a prototype with all the staff here, is that it is easy to lose your work by navigating away from the page on which you are writing. For example, if you are new to Drupal and you've just spent an hour composing a book description (not previously noticing the "Save" or "Save and continue" buttons way down the page) and then you go to the page preview, it's an obvious move to click the back button to continue editing. Ooops! All that work is irretrievably gone, without any warnings (Drupal could take a hint from Wordpress here; if there's a quick fix, or a way of warning users as with Wordpress, I'd love to know it).
I've only just discovered the ScribeFire tool which can be used as an html composer for our new website as well as a blogging tool. Notes can be saved whether workiing online or offline. It could also be very useful for writing on iContact which doesn't have the cleanest or easiest interface for composing mailshots.
It's a really useful tool. Thanks, Penny Power of eCademy, for introducing us to it.
