Due to ice and snow, a rare occurrence here in Austin, we will postpone tomorrow night’s meeting to next week, January 24.

I will send a reminder at the beginning of next week.

 

Everyone stay safe and warm.

Subject: [ctdug] Central Texas DITA Users Group Meeting 1/17/07

 

Hello and Happy New Year!

 

Please join the Central Texas DITA Users Group (CTDUG) at their regular monthly meeting next Wednesday evening, January 17, 2007.

 

TOPIC: Stories from the Trenches

 

This month's informative presentation comes to us from France Baril, who has successfully implemented DITA at IXIASoft. France has been an instrumental participant on the DITA Technical Committee since its inception.

 

Scary short stories you can learn from the promises of XML and DITA include better content quality, lower production costs, better usability and increased collaboration between authors. Are these promises a reality or are there monsters in the closet?

 

This presentation is based on true DITA implementation stories. It offers remedies and suggestions against monsters (i.e. vanishing topics, related links spider net, etc.) that might be haunting writers and sheds some light around scary dark shadows that are lurking to get in your technical departments.

* Jpeg satellite photo of the campus: http://tinyurl.com/yeecnx

 

The photo has a marker showing the Building C entrance at the north side of

the campus. If you turn off of Parmer at the main entrance, you'll need to

skirt around the west side of the buildings to get to the C entrance. If

you head east/southeast on Anderson Mill from Parmer, you'll find the "back

entrance" that feeds directly to the Building C entrance.
