Hello all,
I've now discussed a possible contract (paid by HMN) with a technical writer here in Geneva. In addition to being very impressed by the flexibility of DHIS and the reasoning behind it, he expressed interest in working with this. I will now follow up internally here in HMN, but want to keep you updated on the progress.
We discussed if not a wiki-approach would be appropriate, where defining the structure (based on ToC) of the manual would be first step. He could then work on his preferred platform (word), and it could then be fed into different sections. For this, we would have a good framework for a) several languages (just do like wikipedia), and b) open, easy for us to add more stuff ourselves later.
There are supposed to be some tools for converting wikipages to pdf docs, which would be very useful if we go for this solution. Then, with a click of a button, you would get the manual based on the latest wiki content. We already have plenty of wikis to use for this purpose
Any comments appreciated.
Johan
