MCMS Manager by Chester Ragel
In Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) after the creation of the sites, to do modification to the postings there were no common way to do so. As a developer I thought there must be a tool which can be used to maintain the sites easily. Mostly when something goes wrong with postings, it is not that easy to figure out what went wrong with neither Site Manager nor going through the site.

MCMS Placeholder Content Web Part by Stephen Huen
This Web Part displays content from a Content Management Server (MCMS) page placeholder in a Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) site or a SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) site. No actual placeholder content is stored in the web part. If the placeholder is updated with new content in the MCMS site, the web part will automatically show the new content in the WSS site.

Practical application includes showing images of an event for example.
