ITauthor podcast #20 – The Mallcast

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The voices in this podcast belong to: Graham Campbell and Alistair Christie.

This extremely ad hoc podcast (we didn't plan to do one, but Graham suggest it and offered to buy me lunch, so it seemed like a good idea), was recorded in the food court at East Kilbride shopping centre. The photo shows Graham in the queue at the salad bar, trying to avoid being in the picture.

We talk about what we've been doing since our last podcast. Topics include:

• ISTC Conference 2008
• UA Europe Conference 2008
• Is is worth going to tech writer conferences? What do you get out of it?
• Why are people still talking so much about DITA?
• Geoffrey Pullum and Grammar Nazism
• "supercede" or "supersede"?
• Roadmap announced for a DITA version of Flare
• Benefits to customers and technical writers of hosted Web help
