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.
Does anyone have practical experience with either of these:
* Oxygen WebHelp for DITA [1]
* Adobe Experience Manager (specifically, XML Documentation solution
for Adobe Experience Manager [2])
We already use Oxygen to edit DITA source and are looking for a
reasonably simple way to output user docs for multiple
products/versions/languages. The end result will be a pubs library
that customers can access through a browser. Integration with GitHub
and Jira would be a plus.
We expect the setup and customization to require some effort from
specialists and developers, but once it's up and running TWs should be
able to generate and publish output with a few clicks and little need
for support.
These are fairly new, fairly niche products without much of a track
record. Oxygen WebHelp looks promising, and has at least a few active
users. It's a little concerning that Google turns up few references to
XML Doc for AEM from actual satisfied tech writers; all of the buzz
comes from Adobe or Adobe resellers or industry pundits who thought
the demo / white paper looked cool.
