Hi, folks.

Has anyone set up a publishing system that smoothly publishes the same
periodical to website and print? I am helping a non-profit fix their
publishing workflow, virgin territory for me.

To get going, I assume you would:

* Train the editors to input incoming content (images, documents, text
files, emails) into a CMS
* Set up a transition plan get writers and contributors to submit directly
to the CMS
* Most importantly, adapt the CMS to export elegantly to InDesign for easy
transition to print publishing

I want to know about what technologies you recommend, but far more
importantly I want to know:

How do you convince a resource starved non-profit that this is *less* work
for them, and not more?

I imagine that the editors will raise concerns about deadlines. Since the
print publication takes priority, the whole "put it all in your CMS first"
part may seem like an extra step in the workflow, a way to make their job
harder.
