Leigh White is a technical communicator with almost 20 years of experience as a content creator, content manager, and production coordinator. One of her primary interests is exploring ways that small technical publication groups can leverage existing tools and improve processes to maximize the reuse of their content, improve their efficiency, increase their offerings, and save their sanity. To accomplish these goals, Leigh advocates that effective technical communicators need to be more than writers; they need to be part programmer, part designer, and part project manager. She is also a devotée of XML and structured documentation and she believes that DITA might just save the world. Her other professional interests include DTD and XSLT design, FrameMaker structured template and EDD design, and relational database design. When she is not parked in front of a computer, Leigh enjoys reading, running, hiking, photography, motorcycles, and a variety of other rather dangerous activities.
