As writers, we all perform mundane routine documentation-related tasks that are inevitable to our jobs.  To ease our lives, there is a growing need to automate these mundane routine documentation tasks.  Walking in the same direction, the STC India chapter is pleased to announce the “Script for Fame” competition. The participants are required to provide a brief overview and the actual FrameMaker ExtendScript script to us, which they are using to  automate the daily FrameMaker tasks that we perform as writers, such as, updating books, generating PDFs, and so on. The participant who has created the most interesting and useful script will be announced as the winner of the competition.

Competition Rules:
