Qumana is a microcontent assembly and publishing software that provides three integrated capabilities to streamline content creation and publishing to blogs, websites, emails, and documents. It is designed for all individuals who create and author content.
The first capability of Qumana is Drag n' Drop. It uses sophisticated drag n' drop capabilities, along with a funky and easy-to-use DropPad that sits on your browser in an extremely inobtrusive manner. The DropPad is essentially transparent. Users can surf and research for as long as they want, dragging and dropping any interesting or useful content into the DropPad. They can even drag n' drop links, files, large blocks of text, pictures, audio, and video files into the DropPad.
The second capability is Assemble, Shape, Edit. Users can open up the Workpad and see what they've collected, move it around, re-arrange it, and delete what is no longer interesting or relevant. They can then save the content as a Folder in the Library to work on later or publish it to create a post or a document while in the flow of working on an idea and its expression. Up comes a full-featured WYSIWYG html Editor, which allows users to add text, change fonts, add links, and upload files to finish things off so that what will be published looks professional. The Editor also comes with Spell-check. Additionally, right-clicking on any item and scrolling down to and clicking on Properties allows the user to create a significant range of both structured and user-defined metadata.
The third capability of Qumana is Post-to-"Anywhere". If the user is blogging, the stitched-together final-edit content is posted to whatever blog they've directed the application to publish to. They can have one, two, or many different blog settings loaded in, so that they can post the content or parts of it to multiple blogs. Currently, the user can also Save the content as HTML or RTF.
