Hi Kirsty,
The main need is for documentation that has input from a lot of
different people in the department. Some of them produce whole docs,
others chunks of docs. The main problems we are trying to solve are
these:
1. They keep a copy of the document they send us which makes versioning
a nighmare, because if we edit anything then next time around we have to
make the same edits because they insist on keeping a copy on their C:
drive.
2. They adjust the styles/fonts.
I know a version control system (like CVS or Source Safe) might help
with the version control issues, but it doesn't help compile one big
document out of it all. Republico seems to fit the bill and we don't
really have any problems with using it. We just want to do our homework
properly and make sure there is not some wonderful product out there
that we have missed investigating.
I'd love to hear about any products that know about.
Cheers,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
Are you wanting to reproduce whole documents or just chunks of

I'm not overly familiar with Repulico, but have just had a quick look

their website. There's a bunch of Content Management products in

Subject: [astcq-discuss] Republico Alternative
Hi All,
We are looking for a solution to a few department-wide large
documentation issues. (You know, the ones where you are just
regurgitating stuff from other peoples documents.) We are considering
using Republico for this, but were wondering if there are any
alternatives.
Does anyone know of any products on the market that perform similar
functions to Republico?
Cheers,
Nathan
