I dont think 5 minutes is accurate. I have been doing active updates on city council meetings and have moved onto topics three times before it shows up on the page.

Had to resort to Twitter instead of the CMS to get accurate, fast updates on the site.

That should work. That's how we track author data.

Knowing you have 1,500 people who have activated an account but no clue at all how many actually use it is frustrating. We should be able to run a report of subscribers who have visited in in the past X days.

This is extremely important and I am very surprised that of all the papers TownNews services, nobody has mentioned the inability to pull captions via RSS.

The syndicator tool is a star piece of tech that is highlighted in the sales call when we purchased the software. But nobody says that image captions are not supported via RSS. That pretty much kills any ability to automate it.

The syndicator tool is hamstrung if you have a site that requires photos (we try to have photos with all stories) and you can't pull photos through it with captions.
