TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
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.
For those of you who are going to visit the XML-conference http://x-pubs.com/ in Reading, UK you will be able to see the solution Chris Borokowski is describing; a solution developed on top of SharePoint 2007 Server. The solution - a complete end-to-end-single-source-publishing-and-collaboration solution - is called http://www.dita-exchange.com/
With this solution you will be able to:
- build and plan your publications in a web browser
- write re-usable topics and link these topics to your publication - also in a web browser (no XML-skills needed)
- publish the publications to HTML help, PDF, HTML, Word, PDA etc. etc simply by clicking a button (no conversions to/from complicated formats is needed because it's all based on XML)
- collaborate with SME's, Approvers, Reviewers etc. - controlled by build-in workflows
- starting at â39-63 per user per month.
Thanks, Ole Rom Andersen

Subject: Microsoft Sharepoint
I see Microsoft Word as a word processor, where Quark
Xpress is a layout program and FrameMaker is a
documentation authoring system. But I recognize the
power Office has. It is tightly integrated with the
most popular operating system on earth, is easy to use
for all but a fraction of office tasks, and has a
consistent interface that is intuitively understood by
those operating system users.
Microsoft Sharepoint is the new middleware from
Microsoft that puts Office content onto the web. I
have a feeling that it will be important for all
technical writers, content managers, web editors and
even web developers.
