NeoDoc and Mandrakesoft Partner for Better Mandrakelinux Documentation
Monday July 05 2004
Mandrakesoft, the world-renown publisher of the Mandrakelinux distribution, and newly born NeoDoc, founded by Mandrakesoft's former documentation team, are pleased to announce that NeoDoc will write the documentation and subsequent translations for the 10.1 edition of the review-acclaimed product, which is due out in the fall. NeoDoc's primary goal is to provide companies and organizations with documentation related to Open Source projects in the corporate, educational and end-user markets, as well as with government agencies.
"Documentation is an essential added value to Free Software, and a key point of the Open Source software business model", said NeoDoc co-founder Camille Begnis. "By outsourcing its documentation service, Mandrakesoft will win in terms of costs and flexibility. On its side, NeoDoc will be able to better answer Mandrakesoft's needs by concentrating its assets on the Mandrakesoft products when needed, while being able to service their other clients", concluded M. Begnis.
NeoDoc is composed of expert writers, translators and programmers who will enhance documentation in both quality and quantity. NeoDoc also enables companies to carefully plan documentation needs in synchrony with their production design teams. Through its innovating CMS based on XML technologies, NeoDoc provides a valuable expertise in the fields of data reuse and specializes in bleeding edge data coding technologies.
