In the interview, Chip and Scott discuss XML authoring and Astoria&#8217;s content management software; component content management and how it differs from Web and document content management; and how component content management can benefit both technical communicators and the organizations with which they work.</p>
<p>Note that the quality of the audio isn&#8217;t the greatest. It was recorded over Skype, and there is some background noise and the occasional dropout.</p>

		<itunes:summary>OK, we know we haven't posted a podcast in a while. But that's not for lack of desire or trying. We've just been really, really busy. In this (very) short update, Scott discusses what DMN Communications has been up to lately.

And remember that we'll be in Vancouver, Canada later this week for the DocTrainUX 2007 conference. Not only will we be presenting the session Getting a Foothold: Using Basecamp to Improve Productivity and Collaboration, we'll also be podcasting from the conference. So please tune in from April 18 to the 21st to hear about what we've seen, heard, and done.Download Standard Podcasts</itunes:summary>

<p>As a side note, we are experimenting with the way we record podcasts, so the audio may be less than perfect. It&#8217;s something that we&#8217;re working on.</p>
<p>In this podcast, we discuss grammar, the impact of Web 2.0 on grammar, podcasting, and new media vs traditional media. Mignon&#8217;s Grammar Girl podcast is a great example of how to &#8220;discover an audience&#8221; through podcasting and I encourage readers who are thinking about starting their own podcast to do so.</p>
