Subject:Re: Wiki as a documentation delivery system? From:Scott Abel <abelsp -at- netdirect -dot- net> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Sun, 30 Jul 2006 18:51:34 -0400
Wikis are already being used to create documentation. In fact, a wiki
based entirely on DITA is in development (already been beta tested), as
well as blogging tools and plugins that will allow you to create,
manage, deliver, syndicate documentation without a specialized
authoring tool. And, of course, there are also content management
systems that include wikis and blogs as part of their offerings. They
too plan to role out support for documentation (including DITA).
There are a few articles in progress on this topic that I'm editing
right now -- soon to be posted on my blog. I'll be adding reviews of
several wiki tools as well in the coming weeks. If you've got a wiki
project you'd like me to see and consider mentioning in my article, let
me know.
