Scriptorium is once again conducting a survey on structured authoring, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger is helping spread the word to make sure they get as many responses as possible. Here’s their explanation of the survey:
Happy New Year!
In early 2009, we did a rather extensive survey on structured authoring. We asked about plans to implement structured authoring, existing implementations, biggest mistakes, and the like.
It’s time to update the numbers and see what has changed in the past two years. So, please take a few minutes to fill out our structured authoring survey. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes and will be open until the end of February. Two lucky participants will each win a $50 gift certificate from amazon.com.
We will analyze the responses and publish the results in April. The results will be free for survey participants.
Please participate! There is very little research available on this topic. Your input will provide important information about the use of structured authoring in technical communication.
