Multi-platform Web Authoring System

I ran across NVU - an interesting, new, open-souce webpage authoring tool that dares to mention that it rivals Dreamweaver (and Frontpage - but, as far as Internet standards go - that’s easy.)

NVU is a ‘cross-platform’ - meaning it “runs on different operating systems” such as Linux, Macintosh and Microsoft based computers.

From the NVU website:
“A complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop users as well as Microsoft Windows and Macintosh users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver.”

The site mentions the following features (and lists more on their feature page):
“# WYSIWYG editing of pages, making web creation as easy as typing a letter with your word processor.

# Integrated file management via FTP. Simply login to your web site and navigate through your files, editing web pages on the fly, directly from your site.

# Reliable HTML code creation that will work with all of today’s most popular browsers.

# Jump between WYSIWYG Editing Mode and HTML using tabs.

# Tabbed editing to make working on multiple pages a snap.

# Powerful support for forms, tables, and templates.

# The easiest-to-use, most powerful Web Authoring System available for Desktop Linux, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh users.”

My web-mistresses gears may be grinding about now since she has been waiting for a decent Linux-based tool of this sort.
