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'm looking for documentation groups to beta test a version control software
product that handles all Windows application files (Word, WordPerfect, Excel,
PowerPoint, etc.).
The product is currently released as a programmer's version control product and
is popular with the Visual Basic crowd. The released product is "written by
geeks for geeks" so it's relatively ugly, but the underlying code is stable. My
team is modifying the user interface to appeal to a more general audience.
It's easy to use and does not require an administrator so "time overhead" is
minimal. I'll be asking beta sites to provide feedback on interface design and
to assess the "completeness" of the function set as it relates to doc groups.
I'm not a list subscriber (now -- but I was, and hope to be again), so posting a
response won't work. You can contact me by replying to this message, or call me
at (714) 442-4458 or write to me at the address below.
Thanks for the consideration.
