Press Release: UserLand Ships Manila. This is the first official UserLand press release since 1993. It's also the first time we've had a product with mass appeal. Wish us luck!

About Manila: "Manila is an Internet server application that allows groups of writers, designers and graphics people to manage full-featured, high performance web sites thru an easy-to-use browser interface. Manila is included with Frontier 6.1."

Manila-Newbies: Quick Start Guide.

Heise.De: Standard für Web-Anwendungen vorgeschlagen.

To the people in the weblog community, UserLand makes software. Servers and writing tools, network applications. We grow as you do. And that goes doubly for other weblog toolmakers. Let's create a new literary medium together.

From the It-Doesn't-Hurt-To-Ask Department, now MacInTouch is pointing to Manila. Thanks!

MacCentral ran the press release.

MacWEEK is working on the story.

AppleSurf is great.

All is well.

Sneak preview: SOAP 1.0 Spec.

BTW, if there are press people tuned in, esp editors who cover web development software, if you'd like a trial Manila site hosted on our server, please send email to pr@userland.com. We say yes to all reasonable requests. We want press people to start using Manila asap.

Also, we're working on an app that will allow all current Frontier subscribers to have one free UserLand-hosted Manila site. We want to get it right before we roll it out.
