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.
We are about to make the transition from MS Word 2003 to AuthorIT.
Among all the transition considerations, we are also looking into a free or
cheap Documentation Management System for our documentation (and to work
with AuthorIT, if possible).
We need both a documentation-oriented system that will allow us to maintain
our documents inventory in addition to the file management.
By Inventory, I mean, a comprehensive list of all the documents, various
part numbers and references, number of pages, the amount of work that was
performed on each document so that we can give the management a
report. (Will AuthorIT address the inventory part?)
Any advice?
(Note: I also attempted to post this on the AuthorIT-users forum)
