RE: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider
OMG. A week to ship? Good luck! Okay, let's be constructive. I would recommend trying the Eclipse User Assistance Technical writers list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eclipse_tw/. That's where lots of people who turn FrameMaker into Eclipse Help hang out, but a week is short notice. Seriously, good luck.

Re: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider
Shouldn't be a big deal -- Eclipse is a standard format. You could use either MIF2Go (www.omsys.com) or RoboHelp (part of the TCS2) to generate the code. (Provided, of course, that they/you have already identified what goes into the help.) Contact me off-list if you want to farm it out. Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...

RE: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider
Dear Tori, I am a rookie but could nevertheless set up a Frame to EclipseHelp pretty easily using Mif2Go (with some tremendous help from Jeremy of the omsys support team). The thing is that we needed the whole content to be generated as an EclipseHelp, which made things easier. Cheers, Mathieu.

Re: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider
Do they have an existing stylesheet? Is this context-sensitive? Do they require set filenames? Do they have a HAT they want used or is this a one-off project? While a week *could* be enough time, my experience shows that generally with a looming deadline over their heads, details are overlooked by the client given the rush (or detailed questions are answered incorrectly) and targets get missed.
