It would be great to be able to set up “read-only” templates (both structured and unstructured) for users, particularly those with fairly simple documents. If it were inexpensive enough ($99 at the most), it could be used by clients that need to create, edit, and exchange documents. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be totally WYSIWYG. These documents could then be opened with FrameMaker and be processed for various outputs. It is a nuisance to go back and forth from FrameMaker and Word, especially since it is difficult to enforce standards in Word. Frame Light would be used to enforce standards during data entry, while FrameMaker could be used as a print engine. This goes back to a more efficient division of labor where writers and editors don’t need to be concerned as much with look and feel, but with applying the correct structure to the documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Rick Quatro<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Carmen Publishing Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>585-659-8267<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>rick@frameexpert.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>*** Frame Automation blog at http://frameautomation.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com]">[mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Anthony Davey<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, February 22, 2011 5:57 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com">framers@lists.frameusers.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Frame Light, what's the potential market?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Cross posted to dita-frameusers, so ignore as needed ...<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I had an interesting discussion with the Frame Product Manager a few days ago at<br>the London launch event for TCS3. It seems there is the motivation to develop a<br>business case for 'Frame Light' which could be used by SMEs to create and review<br>content, but little else.<br> <br>I work in an environment where I am the only Frame user (experimenting with 10<br>at the moment) in an organisation with over 100 SMEs producing content in Word.<br>Most do their own thing, or come to me to 'fix' or standardise stuff once it is<br>collected together.<br> <br>So, I would want 'Frame Light' to allow content creation in structured or<br>unstructured format (including DITA one day), but that requires the content<br>provider to use only the pre-determined paragraph formats and a few text styles<br>(emphasis, bold, sub- and superscript); and insert images by reference. I can<br>get around a need to define conditional text by using different paragraph format<br>names. All this in templates that can only be developed or altered by full<br>license holders.<br> <br>To support the development of a business case can you post what (other)<br>functionality you would want Frame Light to have, how many licenses you would<br>(ideally) want in your organisation, how many full Frame licenses you currently<br>have (for comparison purposes), how you would want FL delivered (local install,<br>web-based, floating licenses), and what you would want/need to pay for it to get<br>it accepted as an alternative to Whatever word processing your SMEs currently<br>use?<br> <br>Creating more disciplined (structured), reusable, content which can be output<br>with a similar look and feel, and doesn't reinvent a wheel each time an SME puts<br>fingers to keyboard, is a concept which has almost reached its time in my<br>organisation. Others may be close, or even ahead, so there must be demand for<br>this.
