Subject: RE: [dita-help] Survey of Help Authors ... more survey questions


Dear colleagues

I have posted Stan's suggested survey questions to:

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_Help_User_Survey

Would you like to have a look at those questions, and add, modify, delete or
comment as appropriate? Underneath the "Suggested Questions" section is a
record of some of the questions and suggestions raised at the DITA Help
Forum at the WritersUA Conference last year, and Ian Balanza-Davis's
observations from an earlier discussion. Ian has joined the Subcommittee
now, so welcome, Ian!

Regards

Tony Self

Subject: Re: [dita-help] Survey of Help Authors ... more survey questions

Hi --

I have a company meeting at 4:00 ... just in case it goes more than a few
minutes, here are a couple of updates from my end:
1. OASIS public, persistent email address ... in progress ... no result yet.
2. DITA Help Technologies Guide .... haven't heard any feedback. 
   Is it ready to send to the TCs for formal review?
3. Press release .... looks great! 
4. Survey questions to consider:
   a. What percentage of all your English DITA source topics get
      processed into some form of CSHelp?
   b. What percentage of all your English DITA source topics get
      processed for CSHelp and some other output format (PDF2,
      XHTML, etc)?
   c. How do you currently manage CS hooks (IDs):
      - inside the DITA environment
      - outside it
   d. What help-related metadata lives in your source topics
      and maps?
   e. How much post-processing do you have to perform on your
      DITA-generated Help output files?
   f. Are you working in a CMS?
      - If so, which one?
      - If so, does it have its own Help transforms?
   g. Do you process (build) your CSHelp along with engineering
      code? Are you integrated with engineering builds?
   h. Have you developed any Help-related specializations?
      - If so, what are they?
   i. What percentage of your DITA Help source topics/maps are
      translated?
      - Into how many European and/or Asian languages?

I'll dial in as soon as I can .... 

Stan
