At #convexlive - Sowmya Jayakirthi and Usha Rani are teaching us the 4 pillars of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) perceivable (designed for folks to see, hear or touch) - operable - understandable - robust (compatible w/ tools)

How do you survive The Great Resignation? @porcupunk / Vlad Khanin at #convexlive suggests - foster a sense of trust - focus on the "whole" employee - be transparent with employees - commit to your team, be as flexible as you can - trust your employees.

[Kathy Madison @Comtech_Kathy]

Change is hard - Regina Lynn Preciado at #convexlive talked about what we can learn from horses to deal with change-management - two things to consider - horses are alert to change and aware of emotions - shouldn't we be too.

@gretylkinsey is at #convexlive - customers are demanding personalized content - you can give it to them with author-controlled personalization, user-controlled personalization (using filters), system-controlled personalization (dynamic delivery portals)

Michael McGinnis is talking at #convexlive about how moving to DITA plays an important role in supporting multiple brands - he uses “Super” bookmaps to control keyrefs in a way that reliably prevents branding catastrophes due to conref fallbacks

[Kathy Madison @Comtech_Kathy]

Helen St. Denis shared insights during #convexlive on how one organization let new employees use Word until they felt comfortable writing in DITA - The word docs were messaged for a fast and smooth conversion into DITA.

How do you calculate your content reuse? Eric Kuhnin has given lots of good tips as has his audience at #ConVExlive. Also talked about single-source calculations (preparation cost + Translation Cost )/ words produced

[Kathy Madison @Comtech_Kathy]

lots of good discussions at #convexlive about reuse from Bob Johnson - too many good ideas to list - join his candid conversation later today.
