[FULL PROGRAM]

PANEL:

Do-it-Yourself Publishing Systems

1:30pm–3:00pm
Session Moderator:
Jack Powers, Director, IN3.ORG

Can't cost-justify an investment in a whole publishing system in 2002? You’re not alone! Want to hear how others get the full functionality of an expensive workflow system–without the price tag? Want to hear how they successfully integrated off-the-shelf components in new ways–adding value without breaking the bank? Want to hear about home-grown solutions at the heart of a publishing operation to create pages (printed or served)? Whether you are involved in print, web, or both, you’ll delight in these case studies of inexpensive patchwork systems that work, with amazing paybacks.

Developing Web Developers

Continuous Publishing Replaces the Deadline

"...writers, editors and art directors organize their work for the convenience of the pressman, batching up collections of copy and art with deadlines for the pouch that goes to the printer once a week...Interactive media eliminates the holy deadline...
