Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
Me, I need to figure out a way to single-source content that is shared between a main and co-branded product when references to another of our products is totally interwoven. As in: Blah blah blah (content for both). Then Yada Yada Yada (content specific to our product). Then Blah blah blah (content for both). As in, not easy to share an entire topic. And there are dozens of places. So the decision is: 1. Do I rip apart the topics, and rebuild the paragraphs that apply to each doc type? 2. Do I rip apart the topics and add a variable that includes Yada Yada Yada on the one, and empty on the other? 3. Do I create a copy of the topic and pull out what doesn't pertain to the one? Thereby forcing me to then manage duplicate topics (changing content in one means to change in the other -- and yeah, I can flag them both to remind me to change the other one but still...). 4. Do I frickin' ignore the problem and hope it goes away? I'm stuck till I figure this one out, and I'm not sure what's the best way to go. Eenie meenie minie moe! ...sue P.S. And it's Monday.

Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
After taking part of last week off, I am 1) Drafting the PCI role/feature mapping tables 2) Creating a form in Adobe LiveCycle for PCI conformance 3) Finishing the final draft for the 1 page (by request) quick reference that shows a newbie how to setup a conference room for conference calls, web conferencing, slide show presentations, and video presentations. There are three different projectors. 4) Following up on my scrum team duties (we are just ending a sprint) and preparing for the new sprint 5) Reviewing my second scrum teams progress on the UI for a different product 6) Filling up all of the candy dishes with chocolate (there was talk of people going through horrible withdrawal pains because I was gone for three days) It is great to be back at work. :-) Katie Roberts Technical Writer Jewelry Television IT Software Engineering Product Management 10001 Kingston Pike Knoxville, TN 37922 865.692.2715 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Posada Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 1:37 PM To: TCP List Subject: Re: [TCP] Back On Topic 1) Getting ready to head out of town for two days for business. I pick up the rental car at 3:30 and head up from White Plains to the Boston area (actually, Hopington, who's only claim to fame is EMC headquarters and the starting line of the Boston Marathon). 2) Trying to figure out where I'm going to come up with the definitions for over 200 items for a new glossary document. 3) Populating new topics for a new help system for a new product. 4) Just made reservations for a late dinner in Boston tonight (8:30pm) with another documentation person to come up with a plan on how we are going to make up the content that doesn't exist in the specs.

Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
Drove to Perth yesterday (4 hrs), then flew to Sydney (4 hours), then got delayed (3 hours), then flew to Brisbane last night (1.25hrs). Start work this morning with a new client whose HQ is in Brisbane. Actually, it's an existing client that was taken over by another company on July 1. All staff (8 of us) are here for the week. Their expense.

Re: [TCP] Back On Topic
Finishing up PCI compliance documentation. Rewriting the user manual and online help for the Loans & Mortgages module of our software. Finishing up a manual on FundServ and how our software interfaces with it. Redesigning forms in Simply Accounting. Waiting for repairs to be completed on my car. Waiting for someone to come and fix a leaky pipe in my house (will involve removing a ceiling). Waiting for a quote on a new furnace. Shopping for a new car. Working on completing a video I'm doing for my niece's wedding at the beginning of August. Breaking in a new kitten and trying to convince my dog there's nothing to be afraid of. Getting ready for our company's "Chicks with Sticks" golf game on Wednesday. Getting ready to give a workshop on Word next week. Trying to stay cool!
