Article in Publish Magazine Had Little on FrameMaker

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Did anybody else notice that the big article in the most recent (U.S.) Publish
Magazine on Adobe and all their new stuff (and also Adobe vs Quark) had
extremely little (one or two sentences in a several pages of coverage) about
how FrameMaker fits into the picture???

About all that was said was that it was likely (don't quote me exactly) that
FM's core would eventually be replaced with the new modular stuff Adobe is
doing.  (This has already been discussed in this group.)  By the way, this, by
definition, means that there is likely to be much more access to and
availability of "plug ins" for FM in years to come.

I was amazed that Adobe managed to hide FM *OR* that Publish Magazine was able
to ignore FM so completely.  Okay, FM is not a "sexy" product.  The tools that
make the world of books and documentation run may not be "sexy."  But it is
big business -- important business.

I will assume that Adobe's B. Mark Hilton's comments about the lack of
marketing focus on FM over the last few months is the reason for the lack of
visibility in the article -- after all, many reporters just repeat what they
are told; if there is no one to tell them....
