I share some thoughts on the collaborative work process she outlines and provide updates on some solo episode themes from 2025.\n\n—\n\nThis month I ignored the article editor docs updates in favor of helping with pre-release testing and docs for our new file import tool, which supports importing PDFs and Word documents into KnowledgeOwl or converting them to articles within KnowledgeOwl. It handles other file types, too, but these were what I focused on in the documentation. This change also renamed our top-level menu item from “Articles” to “Pages,” so I did some work on reviewing and replacing occurrences of “Articles” with “Pages” when it was referring to the navigation (and not when it was referring to the concept or collection of articles, which are still valid).\n\nI also reflect on my interview with Jenna Jennissary and our discussion of audio description writers and resources, sharing a few additional resources I found. Jenna’s distinction between collaborative work rather than “group project” work was interesting, as it focused on things like style guide adherence and knowledge management, documenting, and sharing as you go, which feel like key concepts in a lot of lines of work.\n\nI close by sharing updates on a few key themes from my 2025 solo episodes, including updating you on how my experiment with Kate Pond’s Google form for daily check-ins is going and my house’s mouse infestation.\n\nIn this episode:\n[00:00:46]: My progress update on pre-release docs for the file import tool\n[00:03:44]: Updating “Articles” in navigation to “Pages” and my find and replace adventure\n[00:06:43]: My recent and upcoming Wisdom Wednesday sessions\n[00:09:33]: My reflections on Jenna Jennissary’s episode and the work and resources of audio description\n[00:12:18]: Reflections on good collaborative work in audio description, as opposed to group...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JlP4_zZATprOmI0COWYcSJZswo0AzjaOmxyE_M5gX6M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNTdh/ZjBlMjA5ZmEwZDhh/NTNjZWFiOWM2NWY1/ZDAzNS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
