Subject:Need advice on a documentation system From:"W. Kelly Oja" <judbasiner -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:03:06 -0500
Hey Whirlers,
I just finished an informal meeting where I was asked for my input on
what was described as a documentation system. Basically, I was shown
some prelim stuff from xoops.org and a module called wiwi (please no
jokes).
The needs as told to me are:
Multiple people have access to document on server
Write to PDF with proper formatting
Content formatting
Headers & footers
Broken down inot sections and/or individual pages
Revision control
Works like wiwi but more robust (more powerful)
I myself was thinking along the lines of Microsoft SourceSave,
Blackboard, WebCT, and possibly RoboHelp.
I was hoping I could get some input from the group. Thanks.
