 Send to email | How we made Google Apps Hacks in General |  By Nerdblog
el 25-Jun-2008 | I’ve been using Google Docs more and more, especially for collaborative work, both at Dorkbot DC and Make: Books. At first, I did so reluctantly, but I’ve become a real convert. So I was thrilled when we (Make: Books) published Google Apps Hacks. I’m learning all sorts of useful and fun stuff from this book. If you’re a regular Google Docs/Apps user, or you want to become one, you really should check out this title.
My cohort at Make: Books, Brian Jepson, and the book’s author, Phillip Lenssen, have written a two-part piece on how they went about developing the book in, you guessed it, Google Docs. Here’s Brian’s recent post on Hackszine:
When Philipp Lenssen started writing Google Apps Hacks, we made up our minds that we’d develop the book in Google Docs. A while back, Philipp wrote up Part I of the story of how we made the book. From Writing a Book in Google Docs:
Currently, my editor Brian Jepson and I are collaboratively writing the book (tentatively titled) Google Office Hacks by O’Reilly using Google Docs. I wanted to outline the process we came up with, and maybe it’s helpful for you too for certain needs.
I just wrote Part II of this story, and Philipp’s posted it to the Google Blogoscoped blog. From From Google Docs to InDesign:
One of the tricky parts for us was getting the chapters into InDesign, the book layout program we use for our books and magazines. I know where we were coming from - Google Docs’ HTML format - and where we were going to - InDesign’s tagged text format.
