In other words, support for a \u201cheadless CMS\u201d approach to content re-use between websites (everyone can still own their own websites).\r\nAs a writing group:\r\n* Your own technical writing group becomes just another group to service.\r\n* Treat your content like a database, for maximum flexibility of re-use. The structure itself provides the keys from which you can build, sort, link, collate, and automate content.\r\n* Open source allows for rapid prototyping: the \u201cbuild and show\u201d model for successful projects, versus the \u201cpropose and hope\u201d model.", "start": "2019-04-02T19:00:00", "duration": "00:45:00", "released": true, "license": "CC BY-SA", "tags": "", "conf_key": "", "conf_url": "", "host_url": "http://youtu.be/INr38MCQjeM", "public_url": null, "rax_mp4_url": null, "archive_url": "https://archive.org/details/meetup_april_2019-peninsula_structured_authoring_set_your_content_free_genesys", "archive_mp4_url": "", "twitter_url": "http://twitter.com/NextDayVideo/status/1116411328619528193", "comment": "delay=1.0", "start_at": "18:55 02.04.2019"}]
