Re: What next for Mif2Go?

2007-05-07 Thread Art Campbell

My first request -- and the one I'd pay more money for -- would be the
Go2MIF interface, to import Word and other file formats cleanly into
Frame.

My second would be to improve the existing user interface so things
are easier to set up and check, maybe with a logging facility.

Cheers, and thanks for making a great product, Jeremy!

Here are a few of our own ideas, to get the ball rolling:

* Go2Mif, a utility to assist in importing Word, HTML,
and XML files into FrameMaker.  (Yes, we already own
that domain name.  ;-)

* Rtf2Go, the same outputs as Mif2Go, but with a VBA front
end to run in ... Word.  (And we own that domain, too. )

* Logging and reporting facility for Mif2Go, identifying
(and linking to) problematic places in FrameMaker docs
found during conversion.

We have lots more, but what really counts is what *you*
want.  Please do tell us!

RE: What next for Mif2Go?

2007-05-07 Thread Diane Gaskill
Hi Jeremy,

I have been asking for Go2Mif for a lng time and I would REALLY love to
see that one.  Adding Logging and Reporting to that would make one heckuva
package. So you have my vote on these for sure.  I think you could name your
price and we'd buy it.

Best regards,

Diane

I know (believe, anyway) that FM finds its natural home in the technical
communication community, and I've used it that way -- a lot -- in the past.
But now I use it for academic writing. My chief motivation in obtaining Mif2Go
has nothing to do with generating help or HTML files; I use it to interface
with EndNote, because EndNote needs nice clean RTF. I can't guess at how many
other users, or how many other listers, have similar needs. But I wonder
whether anyone else in the same boat as me has thought about whether Mif2Go
could provide a tighter EndNote interface. (Don't ask me for details; I've no
idea!)
