Are there problems in expecting several writers to work collaboratively on resolving cross-references in a large book?
Our project is a set of books made from topic-based, unstructured files. We're in final composition state. Our publication specialist has a master frame.book file, which contains 250+ files. On generating, she gets a listing of --say 10-- unresolved cross-references (UCRs), presented in the error log file as hotlinks to the faulty source. It's the writers' responsibility to correct the UCRs, at their own computers. (An aside: Typically, the publication specialist keeps all files open during this process, except for the files that were reported with UCRs. --Because of the time involved in closing and opening the files for the book.-- As the writers start their work, the publication specialist closes specific files that have the target references.) Writers search for UCRs to correct in the file(s) that were listed as containing UCRs, since the generated error log can't be shared from one computer to another. Some writers have noticed that they find additional, different UCRs when they do this. I'm beginning to believe that UCR information is written in some temp file on the user's hard drive, and this allows different listings of UCRs to be reported. Any assistance or ideas out there?
