Ankur Jain (RoboHelp and Adobe TCS Product Manager), RoboHelp Champions John Daigle, Peter Grainge, Matt Sullivan, Rick Stone and I (newbie) were working the Adobe Booth and presenting at this year’s WriterUA in Long Beach, CA. It was a great conference.
John Daigle had a great idea. He knew the creator of RoboHelp, Gen Kiyooka lived in the area and reached out to him. We all went to dinner. Gen picked the winner of a Technical Communication Suite 3 give-a-way, then someone came up with idea of John video interviewing Gen with Peter and Rick. I think Matt was chancing down a banner we needed. He volunteered because Long Beach is his stumping ground.
Here is the link to the video interview with Gen Kiyooka, the orginal creator of RoboHelp http://bit.ly/k6S9YF
Good times. Good times!
I wanted to let everyone know that AcrobatUsers.com asked me to do an interview on Technical Communication Suite 3 and FrameMaker 10 PDF Accessibility.
Here is the AdobeTV published Interview. We are in the last 25% of the video.

There has been a few inquiries about “How Do We Lower Our Language Translation Costs”.
When I was a consultant last year before I joined Adobe Systems, Inc. I worked on a project with Globalization Partners International (GPI) to do just that. The Client had unstructured FrameMaker content and we converted that content to DITA XML with special formating attribute Namespace for Language Difference DTP requirements. These special namespace attributes allowed the source content to remain DITA XML and still be able to roundtrip the different language versions of the content for publish using FrameMaker.
Publishing and editting with FrameMaker was the only way to do this within a reasonable budget of both time and money. FrameMaker’s edd layer is uniquely able to quickly create an attribute override WYSIWYG publishing envirnment.

Here is a link to an E-Seminar by Max Hoffmann, GPI (my first and only Unstructured FrameMaker teacher!) http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=set_registered&id=1706334&loc=en_us
It was a great project to work on with Max and Global Partners International
