I’m home from my twin courses, two days of “XML and Structured Authoring” and one day of “Moving from Unstructured to Structured FrameMaker” in Cambridge, Ontario.
That’s a long time to pay attention, and I think my brain is full.
Sarah O’Keefe founded Scriptorium Publishing to help companies develop and deliver high-quality documentation for high-tech products (and to subsidize her chocolate habit). She offers consultation on issues such as structuring a product library and identifying the best tools and strategies for a company’s documentation process and has coauthored a few books including FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference. A FrameMaker Adobe Certified Expert (ACE), CTT+ Certified Professional, and all-around tool expert, Sarah teaches a number of Scriptorium Publishing’s classes on topics like FrameMaker and XML and Structured Authoring.
The Clear Language and Design, or CLAD, Web site is a plain language resource and the gateway to a plain-language editing service. Plain language provides clear, simple language that makes technical content or Web sites accessible to the average reader. It’s an important goal.
The Web site includes a very useful readability evaluation tool.
The consultants on the CLAD team contribute most of their fees to support Toronto’s East End Literacy project.
