Delayed publishing with contribute

[donutshop]

My corporation is thinking of going to contribute but our marketing team is
looking for the ability to make delayed publishing and removal of pages before
we buy it. So instead of publishing pages immediately the page will be
published at a specific date/time. It would be nice if the page could be set
to expire at a certain time as well. After a very painful call to Contribute
tech support (covering 2 days and transferring to about 10 people) they
basically said that this does not happen natively in contribute but some of
their clients accomplish this publishing delay on the server side. Has anyone
ever done what I am asking? We run windows 2003 ent server with IIS6. Does
anyone know of another software package that does what I am looking for?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi, I am new to Contribute and was browsing through the support forums today. I
am also in need of a solution where publishing can be scheduled to happen at a
certain time in the future. This would allow pages to change based on a date
range. I see you did not have any responses from the support forum. Were you
able to come up with a solution?
Thanks,

Linda
