Would like Feedback on Planned Workshop
September 7, 2004
I will be giving a workshop at the Gilbane Conference on Content Management, which will be held at the end of November in Boston. (For general information about the conference, please click here.)
The workshop is entitled, “Content Technology Choices for Technical Communicators,” and you can see a description of it below.
Since it is still very early, I would love to get some feedback and ideas on what I should cover in the workshop. What topics would you like to see covered? What are some important existing and emerging technologies you would like to see discussed?
Any and all feedback is welcomed. Please feel free to post here, or to email me.
Workshop Description: Content Technology Choices for Technical Communicators
The need for single-source publishing has led technical communicators to implement many authoring, publishing, and management tools. At the same time, organizations have been implementing enterprise content solutions, as customers and partners demand instantaneous access to all kinds of product-related content and data.
* How can technical communicators best leverage all of these new technologies?
* What are the potential uses and best uses of critical technologies such as XML and PDF?
* What role does metadata play?
* Can content systems and tools be integrated with other critical systems such as call tracking?
This tutorial will provide attendees with a current understanding of the state of content management technology for technical communicators, and will highlight best practices for integrating single-source publishing tools within the enterprise.

At Blast Radius, as new owners of the XML authoring technologies originally created by SoftQuad, we have an obvious interest in your tutorial.
We offer the XMetaL series of products: XMetaL Author, XMetaL for ActiveX (XMAX), XMetaL Developer and XMetaL Central.
Is there any contribution we can make?
