Subject:Any Frame Maker experts? From:"DTN 381-2430 or 244-7167 (ZKO AKO)" <raven -at- CFSCTC -dot- ENET -dot- DEC -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 14 Jun 1993 15:14:18 EDT
I'm currently working on a project where the first thing we have to do
is decide whether to write the documentation set in Interleaf,
Frame Maker, or VAX Document.
Thus, we're looking for some expert users of Interleaf OR of
Frame Maker who might be willing to volunteer some opinions.
Specifically, we're using a structured decision making process
(similar to Kepner-Tregoe, if you know that). To that end, I'm looking for
Interleaf and Frame experts who can rate Interleaf or Frame features on a
scale of 1 to 5--it would be like filling out a questionnaire, and it would
take maybe an hour.
I'm looking for people who have built hardcopy and online
books (and for Interleaf, used the Interleaf "code-management
thing" (It's 3 letters, dbs??). Ideally, we're looking for people who
have tried to write modular documentation in a team-of-writers
environment and would be able to give us their opinions in the
questionnaire.
If you think you might be able to help, please contact me directly
at Raven -at- usable -dot- enet -dot- dec -dot- com or 603-881-2430 (work) or 508-264-7167 (also work)
