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.
As far as context-sensitive help goes, not much has changed in the
past ten years. You can generate it directly from FrameMaker 12 or 13
("2015"), or you can add WebWorks ePublisher Pro to any FM version.
Since you mention Assima Vimago, is what you're looking not
context-sensitive help but an electronic performance support system?
Those tools are mostly for guiding people to fill out online forms for
HR, insurance, requisitions, expense reports, and the like, not for
other kinds of applications.
