Subject:text production process From:John Garside <jqg -at- pc -dot- dk> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sat, 25 Jan 2003 10:21:26 +0100
Our department has been discussing promulgating a
text production process for some months.
The sticking point is that the commissioners of the
text -- typically other departments -- are treated
as 'customers' who, if not always right, do have the
last word.
How do others reconcile the application of a
standard process with gorillas who want lipstick?
