New developments on OTDN |
More products have developer documentation and discussion forums on the Open Text Developer Network (OTDN) thanks to Ferdinand Prantl, a member of the Content Lifecycle Management Services for SharePoint development team. He has made it possible to upload Sandcastle content. In addition to working out how to customize the Sandcastle output to get the best results in OTDN, he also written a utility to upload and update the Sandcastle output. His utility has been used for a number of other products with Sandcastle documentation and will also be used to upload and update the Open Text User Experience Guidelines on OTDN.
Recently, documentation and forums for Open Text Transaction Content Processing (TCP), Open Text CLM Services for SharePoint and Open Text Enterprise Library Services 10.1 have been made available to customers and partners on OTDN. Look out for more products on OTDN in the coming weeks and months ahead.
You can access OTDN from the Communities menu in Knowledge Center or browse to http://otdn.opentext.com and log in with your Knowledge Center credentials.
To learn more about OTDN, watch this short introduction on YouTube.
