The photo has a marker showing the Building C entrance at the north side of the campus. If you turn off of Parmer at the main entrance, you'll need to skirt around the west side of the buildings to get to the C entrance. If you head east/northeast on Anderson Mill from Parmer, you'll find the "back entrance" that feeds directly to the Building C entrance.

January 2008 Meeting

What does DITA have to do with Wiki? — Part 1

During the September 2007 meeting, an ultra-condensed overview of topics discussed during the 2007 Best Practices Conference revealed an area of strong interest in the CTDUG community: is there a way to use Wikis to capture DITA content? Anne Gentle of www.justwriteclick.com fame has gathered six panelists who are currently implementing wikis for a two-session deep-dive into this exciting area of expertise. While DITA isn't always the basis for the wiki, structured authoring is evident and some panelists have successfully integrated DITA and wiki. Hear their stories and case studies and learn their lessons.
