FM + CMS + SMEs w/o $$$?

[Art Campbell]

My take on it would be to use a free open source engine such as WordPress
as the CMS (I've been doing this a lot lately -- good solid platform.)

Then use Frame's database publishing capability to to into the MySQL
database that feed the CMS and pull out content. You should also be able to
pull legacy content out of Frame through MIF2go HTML or XML.

No, I haven't done it yet, but all the pieces should theoretically work
together. "Some assembly required."
