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.
I just taught a faculty development workshop in the program at my
university.
It's an interesting program--easy to teach novices. Until today when I
became
full-time faculty, I managed two Intranets and I wouldn't use Trellix
because
of the number of documents on our Intranet, and the fact that it's on a
network. I need to be able to go out there and edit documents directly,
rather
than create a site in a Trellix format and publish it to html. With
Trellix, I
couldn't work on a file someone else had created unless I had the original
Trellix file. With Dreamweaver, I can just go directly to old files and
change
them. I will use Trellix, however for my class syllabus pages because I'm
not
looking for style, just easily changed data. Of course, I still have the
problem of editing at home and at school. I'll need the original file both
places. I guess I'll store it on the server. I don't have time for more
right
now, but if you have questions, feel free to e-mail me. The URL to the
tutorial I created in and for Trellix is http://arapaho.nsuok.edu/~ComTel/tutorial/Trellix/default.htm
It may have a few faulty links. They'll be fixed by the end of this week!
