Sounds like something along the lines of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_InCopy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_InCopy:
> Once integrated, writers, editors and designers can simultaneously work on the same page; the designer creates the page layout with InDesign, while editors simultaneously edit different stories with InCopy, via the Adobe LiveEdit rights management system.
I recall there's at least one other product for similar kind of workflow (not tied to Adobe ecosystem), but being no longer in the industry I forgot the name.
- moron4hire 13y agoSo is the software any good? Why wouldn't something of such obvious utility take over? I have seen plenty of cases where users will circumvent a system they are given if it is difficult to use or they don't understand it.
- goblin89 13y agoI know of one example where this kind of integration is actually in place and properly utilized. It's a pretty big newspaper. The integration is provided by a publishing system called K4. Admittedly, very few publications would employ similar systems here. Because they're complex to set up, expensive, and not easy to pirate (I don't think many small publications paid for their copies of InDesign/PageMaker), because there's inertia and fear of losing their jobs among the staff (not many young forward-thinking professionals in print nowadays), etc. Not sure how things are US, though.
- moron4hire 13y agoOkay, not surprising.
