feasibility of having
SMEs do edits in FM. Definitely food for thought.

If you go to structured FM, then the SMEs can write topics in their favorite
XML/text editor.
But getting structured is a major change that your organization might not be
ready for.
I would ask the boss to refine the task. Is it for SMEs
Something XML based? They edit in a free/cheap XML editor, you open the same
files in FM and publish. I haven't done this so could be talking through a hole
in my head but it sounds feasible.
Steep learning curve for you but prob not for the developers.
Cheers

IMHO FM's got an awful steep learning curve for just word processing - I'd be
inclined to just keep them on Word and have them submit docs to you. Or go to
something wiki-like (& cheap) like Confluenc

For what it's worth, a colleague has created a customized user interface for FM
that shows only basic functions; all the fancy stuff that can get you into
trouble is hidden from the user. This enables non-FM types like admin

I would ask the boss to refine the task. Is it for SMEs to publish to users
without your attention? That’s tricky
My take on it would be to use a free open source engine such as WordPress
as the CMS (I've been doing this a lot lately -- good solid platform.)
Then use Frame's database publishing capability to to into the MySQL
database that feed the CMS and pull out content. You should also be able to
pull leg
Jack,
My SME's work directly in unstructured
FrameMaker 9. We all work on the same set of files in a shared directory
on our corporate internet. I have a well-defined set of templates, along
with a well-defined set of Corporate Branding Standards and Grammar Standards.
I work closely with the SMEs
Have a look at Subversion. It's both robust and free.
