Adobe launches GoLive 6.0 in India

NEW DELHI: Adobe Systems Inc., a company dealing in network publishing, has

announced Adobe GoLive 6.0 and Adobe Web Workgroup Server, in one package. Adobe

GoLive 6.0 software offers powerful site management and collaboration

capabilities, wireless authoring, and unparalleled support for incorporating

print and video content in the Web design cycle. This new version delivers

features that vastly improve team collaboration and help creative professionals

to develop content and deliver assets to different outlets in less time with

greater efficiency.






The Web Workgroup Server in GoLive 6.0 is a site management and collaboration
tool that allows multiple users to easily track changes, and share and manage

files. It also provides version control and side-by-side comparison

capabilities, including the ability to rollback to previous versions. The Web

Workgroup Server supports any WebDAV-enabled application such as PhotoShop,

Illustrator, InDesign, and Macromedia Dreamweaver, accelerating Web project

development without forcing designers to change their existing process.






Web professionals can rapidly develop for mobile devices with the new wireless
authoring capabilities in GoLive, including support for XHTML, CHTML and WML. In

the Windows environment, GoLive includes built-in emulators for Nokia WAP and

XHTML phones and NTT DoCoMo i-mode phones, enabling designers to visually design

and adapt content for wireless devices.






GoLive 6.0 integrates tightly with Adobe's family of professional design
products, including Adobe InDesign, LiveMotion, PhotoShop and Illustrator.

Working in conjunction with InDesign 2.0, GoLive enables customers to easily

adapt print content to the Web using intuitive XML tags.






Other new Web development features include a full QuickTime 5.0 editing
environment with streaming conversion and optimization capabilities. GoLive

provides a visual authoring environment utilizing video, audio, SWF, SVG and

support for W3C standards like SMIL, which are supported by RealNetworks'

RealOne player.



This new version also includes the ability to deliver database-driven content
and native support for common dynamic scripting languages, including PHP, ASP,

and JSP. These extensive server-side scripting capabilities enable developers to

link front-end Web designs with back-end systems for e-commerce solutions.






Adobe GoLive 6.0 for Mac OS (9.1, 9.2, and 10.1) and Windows (XP, 2000, 98, and
ME) is available in India at an estimated street price of Rs 19,500, which

includes the Adobe Web Workgroup Server. GoLive 6.0 also will be available in a

bundle with LiveMotion 1.0 at the package price of Rs 22,000.






Adobe has also announced the Adobe Web Collection 4.0, which includes new
versions of Adobe GoLive and Adobe LiveMotion, as well as Adobe PhotoShop 6.0

and Adobe Illustrator 10.
