The MetaPublisher is a very flexible tool. It can be used to implement a guestbook, an address book or a system for news articles with an archive. With the help of two MetaPublishers, you can create a Squishdot like site. It can even be used for a web directory such as Yahoo. The MetaPublisher product allows to store miscellaneous data in a table. Each row represents one entry. Each entry stores information in a format, predefined by a configuration. The columns each represent a field in the configuration. An easy way to create appropriate forms to maintain the data is also provided. The configuration and the predefined forms can be stored in a preset. These presets can be used to create new MetaPublishers of the same type at later time.
