Unconference in Vancouver during DocTrain West

I’m working on an unconference for Wednesday evening of DocTrain West from 6:30-8:30 (well, beer-thirty) – with only a little bit of overlap between one of the receptions and the unconferece. Please, come and participate with us. I’ll bring my XOs for demonstrations, Lisa Dyer is presenting about her DITA-wiki hybrid, and Alan Porter will talk about publishing placement (and he’s really thinking outside of the box for this one.)

If you want to attend or present, I’ve set up a wiki at justwriteclick.pbwiki.com.

I originally installed PBwiki 2.0, and didn’t realize that decision meant no wiki-wide password or invite key like what is available on PBwiki 1.0. Woops! I truly intended it to be like a BarCamp wiki where they publish the password right on the login page. I can see why people are clinging to PBwiki 1.0 wikis now. But, I’d love to have you on the wiki regardless, so just email me for an invite.

I had a great talk with Ellis Pratt of Cherryleaf Technical Writing consulting last week. Here are the show notes, full of links to all the topics we covered. Podcasts are great fun to listen to and participate in, if a bit nerve-wracking to think on your feet and make sure you answer questions succinctly […]

At the beginning of this year, I worked hard to summarize my thoughts on API documentation, continuous publishing, and technical accuracy for developer documentation. The result is an article on InfoQ.com, edited by Deepak Nadig, who also was forward-thinking in having me speak to a few teams at Intuit about API documentation coupled with code. Always […]
