A custom article template for technical content writers

| | 2 min read

Generating technical content is an interesting task, especially when you have a team of dedicated developers who are ready to share their knowledge with others.
We do have a such a great team who are having a vision of spreading free software and helping others to leverage on information technology.
We used to write articles, publish it on web and share our knowledge with the world. But then we found our processes little time eating as we moved in this way.
The important challenge was to bring a standard throughout the articles we contribute and make the presentation look good when we publish it.
For taking this aspect in mind we developed a technical article template for our team.

Here is how it looks.
