TCANZ 2010 — a view from the inside

September 4, 2010

Congrats to the organisers of the TCANZ conference for 2010 … great speakers, good turnout, comfy, well-serviced venue and interesting discussions.

Read a summary of each of the main talks here under ‘Recent Posts’.

The write-ups come from Sarah Maddox, a tech writer from Atlassian in Sydney and one of the speakers at the event, who blogged her way through the two days as the rest of us sat and listened to the speakers. Thanks, Sarah, for getting it all down for the record and for access to some really useful tech writer resources.

(Note: if you’re reading this post some time in the future [!], the posts will likely have moved on from ‘Recent Posts’ — search for “TCANZ” in Sarah’s blog ‘ffeathers’. All the conference posts are tagged.)

wiki webinar thursday

January 14, 2009

There are lots of great wiki tools around for building collaborative intranets, extranets, blogs and other websites, including as repositories for user documentation and other tech writing.

Twiki is a strong open source product and Confluence (from Atlassian) comes highly recommended.

Wikis are new in the tech writing space but they are more and more getting big wraps as powerful tools for managing and displaying documentation.

A colleague, Jon Hertzig, has been using Confluence to build a wiki and technical documentation management system for Wellington-based software developers OpenCloud.

Tomorrow, midday (New Zealand time), Jon’s leading a webinar to explain the work he has been getting from this new tech writing tool. Find out more here about the webinar and how to join.
