Looking for alternative to MS FrontPage

[GJSchaller]

I'm making the dive into Linux, and am moving my primary computer entirely off WinXP and onto Gentoo.

I run several small websites for hobbies, and most of them are collaberative projects with other users. The catch is, I've been using MS FrontPage to do these sites, as the users I have been working with are not Webheads, and I have pretty much set them up where I can design and impliment the site, and they can edit it in FP with minimal difficulty once it's live.

Is there a Gentoo-useable alternative to FP that is good for such things? I'm mostly curious if there is a Linux-based editor that will work with FP extensions, so I don't have to lose any of the capabilities I already have in place.

I am NOT looking for answers like "Yeah, drop FP, it sux!". If I could, I would, but the reality of the situation is that I need to maintain FP as an option on the server for my other users, and I'd like to find a way that allows me to use what I have to the best of it's capabilities. (I'm using ICDSoft.com as my Hosting Provider, not my own hand-built-server, so I don't have much control over the server side of things at this point.)

I should mention I'm running KDE, not Gnome... will this affect the packages I choose? (It seems Bluefish is Gnome-dependant?)

I hear that Quanta is an okay WYSIWYG for KDE.

Personally, I think that Nvu is the best Linux WYSIWYG currently available. I can't wait for them to put in a good CSS editor, though...

those programs are not "wysiwyg"

frontpage is a metaprogram.. does alot more then just
convert screen layout to html

however, frontpage cannot do what quanta and bluefish doo

but the progrma you want
as i said before
is

NVU

take a look
u'll see

for for now, its free
they may charge for it later on
