For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Sean Brierly gave a beautiful comparison of different word and
document processing applications. IMHO, much of the decision seems to
revolve around how the staff will exchange and edit documents
produced in Frame. Others have already offered how the on-line
editing might be managed. I'm now wondering how many of us still
prefer to distribute and receive hard copy edits.
I recently saw another alternative, (no I am not pushing the
company), and that's a WebEx conference where the "host" brings up
the document on-screen, and the reviewers and other meeting attendees
sign on to a teleconference and view the host's computer on their own
screens, even f they don't have that application. It also allows the
reviewers to annotate in different colors. anyone tried this?
