Are You Converting Publications to Web Pages for a BIG Site?
Subject:Are You Converting Publications to Web Pages for a BIG Site? From:Stephanie Goble <Stephaniex_goble -at- CCM -dot- CH -dot- INTEL -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 16 Jun 1995 01:23:21 GMT
Is anyone else working for a company that is putting their entire catalog
of public and private documents into a Web-accessible format? What sort
of a process have you developed to cope with the volume of the start-up
conversions?
See http://www.intel.com and it's related pages for the starting effort,
and remember that there is as much information inside the firewall as
outside.
Are you going to distribute everything from press releases to user
manuals via the Internet? And are the source files in a gazillion
formats? And does management want it in HTML, PDF, http:// ftp:// and
full animation?
I would like to share information about what works, what doesn't work,
glitch fixes, and perhaps how to survive this kind of project with sanity
intact.
