What's Developing in the Help World?
HyperWrite's Tony Self, who is just back from the annual WinWriters (now
called WritersUA) Help Conference in the US, will report on the latest
developments in the Help world. One interesting trend is the move away from
the word "Help" to the phrase "User Assistance". Hear what Tony has learnt
about:

·  Microsoft's next generation User Assistance environment called
Help.Longhorn and its XML-based format, named MAML (Microsoft Assistance
Markup Language). 

·  eHelp's acquisition by Macromedia, and the strengthening of the
"structured authoring" methodology. 

The local equivalent of WritersUA event, AODC, is to be held in late April
in Manly, so Tony can also provide a preview of the topics and activities
planned.

Time?      6.00 to 8.00p.m.

Where?   NSW Teacher's Federation Building, 23 Mary Street, Surry Hills

Cost?      $10.00 Pay at the door.
         For catering purposes, please book by p.m. Monday 5th April, 2004

How to book?    Email info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or voicemail on 8250 7056 or fax:
9252 0441

We plan to follow the meeting with a PYO dinner at a nearby restaurant, so
please indicate if you would like join us. Bookings are essential.

I look forward to seeing you there.
