You might want to have a look at HelpServer which is a web- and server-based
cms. You will be able to convert your legacy MS Word files to HelpServer,
which will chunk up your MS word files into books with chapters and topics
(the structure is based on the outline levels H1,H2 etc used in your MS Word
file, but once in HelpServer you can easily change the structure or reuse
any of the content objects) while all the images used in the MS Word files
will be added to the project gallery.

HelpServer can either be deployed on your proprietary server (=on your
premises) or can be rented as SaaS by means of a cloud computing
subscription model.

A couple of years ago I interviewed for a job through a weird process. This
newly hired team lead claimed to have reviewed 1000 resumes (slight
exaggeration according to my friend who worked in HR), and invited 5 of us
to come in for a test administered in the same room at the same time.
Looking at my "competition", I could see that we were a varied bunch.

As we took the test, which consisted of academic English grammar, practical
technical communications, and technical knowledge, the team lead sat at one
end of the table messing about on Twitter. I later found updates about this
lead's evil streak, who enjoyed freaking out 5 hopeful colleagues. We were
then sent on our way. We weren't even compensated for the 2 hours of
parking.

In stage two, this team lead called each of us for a phone interview. The
first thing we discussed was that one candidate didn't think it was
necessary to submit a portfolio, so this candidate was axed. There wasn't
time to bring up the lack of professionalism in discussing another
candidate, but I digress. We opened the conversation where I didn't perform
as well on the academic portion of the test, but I aced the technical
knowledge. The lead acknowledged I had a better understanding of the
company's product line and target market than the lead.

The conversation kept going without any solid understanding of what things
could look like. Then things got weird. I asked what this lead considered
would be a dream team. The response: "Well, I can do everything. It all
depends if you prefer graphics or writing, I'd be willing to give you what
you can do and I'll pick up the slack." This lead's arrogance was
incredible. I was hoping that I'd be offered the job just so I could turn
it down.

Fortunately I dodged that bullet and was sent a form email that they
weren't hiring me. I found out from my HR friend that nobody was hired from
that round. How could 1000 applications not reveal any qualified candidates?

Later I found a comment on Lifehacker, and a profile page by this lead, who
said how difficult it was to find qualified help.

The company ran the same ad a couple more times. And I saw another post for
the same job just this week. Turnover or growth? One of my previous
supervisors (and now friends) saw that ad and thought I would be the ideal
candidate for the position because of my experience. In fact, my friend
joked that if the company arranged an interview, my friend would have
asked, "Why didn't you hire Tony Chung, because he knows more than you do
about your own company?"


Anyway, the point is: Anonymous -- DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the
ineptness of the interview process. In this day and age, it's an employer's
market. They can afford to waste peoples' time and ask candidates to
interview four times with different layers of management. This is primarily
a stalling tactic because they haven't a clue what their needs are. They
need professionals like us to say, these are your pain points. This is what
you need to make the pain go away. Then deliver on the promise.

I much prefer the jobs where I know the people, and the interview is just
to determine if I fit in with the organization, or am able to figure out
the job. I'm always open to discussing opportunities in the techcom/web
enhancement/technology fields, because I'm not rooted in my current job,
and would jump at another chance to change the world.

That old adage about not hiring friends is a myth. I have done my best work
when I worked for people I know who knew me. I guess that means you need to
hire/work for the right friends.

Cheers,
-Tony

Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone out there deals with academic/scientific
publications and can answer this question.

First the background: I am the Editorial Assistant for a scientific
publication, Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal. The journal is listed in
CrossRef and is an open access peer reviewed publication.

We regularly receive updates about CrossRef, how it works, and changes to
how to register our information etc.

We received an email announcing a new way for "publishers and funders to
track scholarly output via "FundRef"

Our editor wrote to me and sent the announcement, and asked how this impacts
us. I have absolutely no idea. According to the FundRef website
(http://www.crossref.org/fundref/):

WHO DOES FUNDREF BENEFIT?
- Funding organizations, which will be able to better track the results of
their funding policies.
- Authors, in simplifying their submission process
- Research institutions, which will be able to track the productivity of
their employees
- Publishers, which will be able to analyze the sources of funding for their
published content, and
- Readers and the public, by providing greater transparency into the results
of R&D funding.

THE QUESTION: What the heck does funding have to do with publications in a
journal? And why would anyone care? In my understanding of things, I provide
the funding information and publications info in reports to donors (personal
or foundations) and let them know what's been published as a result of their
funding. To now have this in a database like this seems to me like overkill.

Does anyone understand what FundRef is, why it really is important, and what
we, as a scholarly publication should consider with relation to this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Deborah

You may want to think about it another way, Kat. You, not the interviewee,
are the real victim.

A lie is when we deliberately mislead another regarding information that he
or she has a right to know. Arguably, before I take the time for an
interview, I have a right to know that the job for which I am interviewing
is no longer open. In other words, when an employer interviews someone while
knowing that the job has already been filled (or cancelled), that employer
is a liar.

I wonder if one's culpability is mitigated if one lies because one is
instructed to do so by one's employer? "I was just following orders"? What
would happen if you told your employer, "I'm sorry, but if the position is
already filled, I can't do the interview, because having the interview would
be blatantly dishonest"?

It troubles me that we take it for granted that lying is a normal and
acceptable part of the employment game.

I had a pleasant experience in this area. Also years ago, I applied for a
position through contacts, but by the time I'd heard about the role, the
company had already run a short list of candidates through two interviews
and were preparing an offer. However, the manager invited me meet anyway,
because I might be useful in the future. I took advantage of the
opportunity to network with this company. After all, what if the new hire
didn't work out?

Anyway, I eventually met the successful candidate for that position in my
social/professional circles, and concurred that this person was a better
fit, based on the requirements of the role. Win-Win.

So I don't think it hurts to let a candidate know their chances, and leave
it in their court if they still want to interview. I believe in this day
and age, employers need to be truthful.

-Tony

It's not necessarily a waste of time. At one place I worked we made an
offer to our favorite applicant, they backed out at the last minute,
so we hired the runner-up.

We had another opening a few months later, and instead of doing
another round of interviews we just hired the second runner-up.

Now that I think about it...there might have been some politics involved.
It might have been something to do with seeing how I would deal with the
situation, or maybe we promised someone that we would interview this
particular candidate. The company was funded by a very large corporation and
we were on the verge of HR disasters many time that I knew about, and
certainly many times that I did not.

I did express my dismay to HR, wish I had said more to my manager. These
types of games predominated and made the work environment stressful, on top
of the intense work we were doing. Glad to be out of there.

It's very hard to gainsay your manager, and there is a very good chance that
I would have done exactly what you did. Maybe thorough what you shared and
this conversation, next time we'll both have the wisdom and courage to do
the right thing instead. As Tony pointed out, the interviewee may want to
interview anyway.

It might have been something to do with seeing how I would deal with the
situation, or maybe we promised someone that we would interview this
particular candidate. The company was funded by a very large corporation and
we were on the verge of HR disasters many time that I knew about, and
certainly many times that I did not.

I did express my dismay to HR, wish I had said more to my manager. These
types of games predominated and made the work environment stressful, on top
of the intense work we were doing. Glad to be out of there.

interview, I have a right to know that the job for which I am interviewing
is no longer open. In other words, when an employer interviews someone while
knowing that the job has already been filled (or cancelled), that employer
is a liar.

be blatantly dishonest"?

Hi,

I have created a PPT in PowerPoint 2007 with hyperlinks (within PPT) and
saved as PDF.
The links within PDF works fine on intranet or locally on my machine.

This PDF then uploaded to my site. After downloading the same, I found out
that the links are not working properly. :(

Is it a browser issue? Adobe issue?? Totally confused !!!

Does anybody know the solution?

My guess is that you're using relative, as opposed to absolute, hyperlinks.
Try redoing all of the links so that that are "fully-qualified," regardless
of the viewing platform.

Hi All,

I have been assigned the task of researching using either a CMS or a
CMS/Wiki for our User Portal. I've gone to the matrix, compared features,
but what I'm looking for is actual user feedback. I'm told "money is not an
issue, what's important is a positive user experience. 

Currently, all of our docs are in PDF format (source - Word) and are
included with each release. 

Features for me include word import (including images and tables), easy to
learn, true WYSIWYG, version control (min. 5 back), good product support
team/community, and PDF export for our customers. Features for my boss
include easy setup and maintenance (if not hosted).

The products that seem to meet these requirements (so far) are:

MindTouch (hosted - cloud)Confluence MagnoliaTiki WikiDrupal 
I look forward to your feedback. Thanks!

DaLy

Subject: a word for... "access" (noun form, e.g., permission)
Message-ID: <E5196CA22CE74EDA9C438D99F815BD4A -at- WQIMJS>
Content-Type: text/plain;	charset="UTF-8"

Hello, WR-L-ers,

I?m looking for a word to replace ?access? in the context of ?access
settings?.

I don?t want to use ?permission? because that?s a different concept I need
(for granting specific users permission to change things).

Instead, I?m talking about exposing objects, and the possible states are:

* Public ? Home page and detail pages are completely viewable by anybody,
and are searchable on Google.
* Private - Everyone can see the objects? home page, but not any of the
detail pages, and the info is searchable on Google.
* Hidden ? The info is not publically viewable (permission is specifically
granted to certain viewers) and is not exposed to Google searches.

The link to get to the page/screen where you can set this state is currently
labeled ?Public/Private Settings?. Obviously this was decided before there
was the third state, Hidden.

So I want to suggest new link text along the lines of ?access settings?. But
I don?t want to use ?Access Settings? because ?access? might be mis-read as
a verb ? let?s access those settings ? instead of the intended noun
treatment.

Thoughts?
-Monique

Get. Obtain. Use. Change. Open. ...

Doink! Reading ahead now, you want an adjective, not a verb...

View. Visibility.

But I don?t want to use ?Access Settings? because ?access? might be mis-read
as a verb ? let?s access those settings ? instead of the intended noun

Many +1s for Confluence.  There's a huge amount you can do with it,
configuration-wise, and it's easy to work in. Importing word docs is part of
the Office Connector plugin (bundled).  

All the other platforms you describe will require a fair amount of setup and
customization to be usable as doc platform, and some of them will require
substantial programming to work as a doc platform at all.

Full disclosure, Confluence's Word import has some serious bugs you
need to clean up after:

Hi DaLy

You mentioned Drupal as one of the candidates. I'm the volunteer Docs Team
Lead for Drupal (i.e. for the documentation on Drupal.org) so I could
probably answer any questions you have on that product.

As much as I love Drupal, I think if flawless Word import is a major
requirement, you might be better off with something like Confluence, which
claims to have good integration with MS Office (although you might want to
also consider Alfresco).

Having  said that, I should also mention that I'm leading a new initiative
to develop Drupal into a fairly powerful tool for authoring and managing
single-sourced technical content. The feature set is far from complete but
some of the key requirements include:

   - DITA compliance (or something very DITA-like)
   - Conditional text
   - Content map tool
   - WYSIWYG authoring tool (i.e. that constrains the author to a DTD and
   that plays nice with conditional text, references etc)

Lots of other handy tech comm features are either already built into Drupal
or available through standard modules including:

   - Taxonomy/metadata
   - PDF output
   - Workflow
   - Global search and replace
   - Versioning
   - Multilingual content management

The idea is that we'd bundle these tools into a package along with Drupal
core (a 'distribution' in Drupal jargon) so that technical communicators
have a reasonably useful out-of-the-box solution. It's pretty exciting for
me because it's something I've been talking about ever since I started
working with Drupal six years ago. And it's also important for Drupal
itself, simply because we need a serious toolset to deal with the
Drupal.org documentation which is now more than 14,000 pages (not including
the API docs) and currently no ability to do single sourcing etc.

Right now, the big gap is the authoring tool. Although there are some
excellent WYSIWYG editors available for Drupal, none of them are at all
useful for working with a DTD.  Everything else is either already available
or close to completion, but without a decent authoring experience it's not
ready for prime time.

Regards

Lee Hunter

I haven't used Word since I dumped Windows when XP came out over a decade
ago?
