How To Run A News Site And Newspaper Using WordPress And Google Docs

" 1. Reporters and editors compose all stories in Google Docs. Using labels and native commenting, the stories get sent through the editing process.

2. When a story is ready to publish, it gets sent from Google Docs to WordPress with one click.

3. In WordPress, editors can publish the story to the web, then set up a print headline and print subhead.

4. The story then appears in inDesign, where print designers can lay out the print newspaper."

Docvert - MS Word to Open Standards

Docvert takes word processor files (typically .doc) and converts them to OpenDocument and clean HTML.

The resulting OpenDocument is then optionally converted to HTML or any XML. This is done with XML Pipelines, an approach that supports XSLT, breaking up content over headings or sections, and saving those results to multiple files (e.g., chapter1.html, chapter2.html…).

Hyperland

"In Hyperland, Douglas Adams’ ‘fantasy documentary’ from 1990, Tom Baker plays a software agent who shows Douglas the future of television: Interactive Multimedia.

Are you tired of linear, non-interactive television, Mr Adams?

Bearing in mind that although much of the ‘browsing’ mechanism feels familiar and obvious, this documentary was created in 1990. That’s two years before the first web browser. The internet was a very different place then."

How to Publish Google Docs to Your Website

"Google Docs is a great way to keep your working documents accessible at all times, and also to collaborate on documents with others. We’ve discussed ways Google Docs makes collaboration better recently, but sometimes part of “collaboration” means making a document or information accessible to people you don’t know (yet) using the Internet. Being able to publish a Google document directly onto your website in a fast and easy way makes this process… well… fast and easy."

How to Become a Google Docs Power User

"Google Docs is one of the coolest web applications ever (in my humble opinion). I am convinced that it is a godsend for anyone; blogger, writer, student or housewife. It solves a lot of problems that traditional word processors have, and adds some compelling features that any writer would love."

How to Use Google Docs

"Google once again has figured out a way to make our lives easier, with its Web-based documents tool, Google Docs. The free application makes it extremely simple to create basic documents from scratch, including word processing documents, tables and presentations. The best thing about the tool is that it allows you to do most of your work online, without cluttering your desktop or hard drive with all that data. You can still keep your documents private."

Open Document Format in National Archives

Petition

“Recently it was announced that National Archives are converting their stock of electronic documents into Microsoft Open XML format. This format is not supported outside of Microsoft’s own products and ties the public to purchasing Microsoft Office should they wish to view the products, which is a cost of around £80-120 depending on version. It also ties a user to puchasing Microsoft Windows which is a cost of roughly £150 for the Basic edition or purchasing a new PC with Windows which is a cost of at around £200 for a new machine. Instead Open Document Format which is an accepted ISO standard unlike Open XML should be used. Open Document Format is supported on many major platforms and is freely available at no charge. It include all the necessary features for documents otherwise it would not be the ISO standard. There should not be a £250 charge to use Microsoft for accessing the National Archives electronically especially in light of the companies ongoing litigation with the EU regarding its anti-competitive actions.”

Response

"The National Archives is committed to preserving electronic records that are both authentic, and easily accessible by users. Wherever possible, records are made available online in a format which can be accessed using any standard web browser. Electronic records transferred to The National Archives are always preserved in their native format; if the native format is not suitable for online access then a separate ‘presentation’ version is created. No single format can address the diversity of electronic records held by The National Archives. At present, documents transferred in Microsoft Office formats are converted to Portable Document Format for online access. PDF is an international standard (ISO 32000-1: 2008) and is supported by all major browsers, either natively or via freely available plug-ins. The National Archives does not currently plan to convert any records to Microsoft Office Open XML format."

Publishing Google docs to your blog

"Yesterday, while showing a professor Google Docs, I discovered a feature I hadn’t seen before: the “publish to blog” option (not unlike the same feature in Flickr and del.icio.us and, from what I now understand, was also available with Writely). I wanted to test it out, so this morning I tried pulling in the outline of a presentation I will be doing with Jerry and Andy at ACCS this Friday in order to see how clean it is — let me tell you something, it is very clean!"

Convert Word Docs to Web Pages

"Microsoft Word has its place, but that place isn't the web. If you've ever tried to convert a Word document to an HTML document, you know that Word's built-in tools can have disastrous results -- bloated files, proprietary markup and exposed personal information are among the gems you'll get with Word's "Convert to HTML" function."
