Am hoping to present at WinWriters. At least, I am hoping to attend. See
you there?
Really, there are quite a few people out there single sourcing already.
This stuff was kinda new back in 2000, when I attended the STC national
conference in Orlando, but now it's kinda . . . not new <g>. Dynamic?
I've yet to see you define that other than by saying "not paper," it
rings hollow, like "paradigm."
Plus, I don't know for sure, but I think the UPS upper management who
bought into the Visio thing are really not ready to listen to employees,
and I'm not ready to be a contractor.
This whole thing has me grinning from ear-to-ear. There's the promise of
a kewl solution and approach, the nervousness of discovery, and then the
slick approach to contracting--something which I now find
fascinating--never really having been at the level you describe. Which
means, I think I'm learning from your approach, and am enjoying it.

Subject: RE: Technical Documentation solutions?
Okay, Sean, I will take the bait re your "been there done that" comment.
If
you indeed do have a solution, I have a customer for you. I am not at
all
interested in reinventing the wheel - so if you got answers here's your
chance. I can arrange an audience before UPS senior management anytime
you
are ready to present.
