Getting from here to there
This is the story of a typical software documentation shop. We use unstructured Frame and WebWorks. We deliver PDF and CHM. We deliver in several languages. We deliver customized documents for different markets. We barely have enough time and people as it is -- and there are new products, languages, and markets on the way.

Custom DITA Search
I've created a custom search engine for all things DITA using the Google Co-op search. The search engine homepage is: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=015401811188033694464%3Ahu_dvbft4pu

My other blog
I havent' been doing anything here because I have a blog at www.tedtedted.com/category/geekery where I cogitate about tech-writer stuff. Feel free to join me there.
Running DITA concurrently with a document metadata system
I'm looking at how we develop DITA to handle the content of our research reports, which will need some topic specializations, so it's not a rush job. In the meantime my colleague, our knowledge manager, is developing a document metadata architecture that will make our legacy documents searchable.
DITA Open Toolkit 1.4 requirements gathering
As this thread is being initiated (November 7, 2007), the current version of DITA OT is 1.3. On behalf of the DITA OT development team, we plan a couple of intermediate patch releases to address high-priority bugs for 1.3, which will take us into Spring of 2007. This forum thread is for the DITA user community to comment on core requirements for DITA OT 1.4, which could be a 2nd quarter 2007 deliverable (the date will depend on sizings and resources after the requirements cutoff).
