I don't really know anything about this product, but Jeff's comment made me think of it: http://www.thirtysix.net/smartdocs/default.aspx

>>IMHO FM's got an awful steep learning curve for just 
word processing - I'd be inclined to just keep them on Word and have them submit 
docs to you. Or go to something wiki-like (& cheap) like 
Confluence.

>>I have been tasked with finding a way to allow SME input 
directly into our publishing workflow. That is, the developers and managers 
would be able to edit text and add graphics to our source files. I want to keep 
FrameMaker as the publishing engine.  I'm thinking a CMS would be in order, 
but the company is aghast at the thought of spending more than 10K a year on 
"word processing".  I basically need functionality something like Author-it 
that ties into Frame.  I could do single-sourcing with RH (we have 
TCS3.5).  I'm thinking we would have 3 developers at a time who might be 
using the system, plus me.  That's a budget of $2500 or less per year per 
user.
