Unfortunately, in so many professional context the CHM format is still the preferred format for online helps, mainly because it’s native in Windows and it’s familiar to both users and technical authors.<\/p><p>Hopefully though, we’re (slowly) moving forward: DITA definitely offers more possibilities when it comes to output formats, but at least for now there’s no replacement for the standard Online Help. <\/p><p>While I’m still VERY skeptical about non-textual media, like screencasts etc., as primary documentation format, I believe existing textual format should:<\/p><p>* Allow readers to embed comments and feedback in documentation, which should then be sent to the authors<br>* Improve accessiblity.

Indeed we’ll evolve into information strategists and information architects, but that’s still part of the job, right?
