Lone-DITA: A DITA Community for Small Documentation Teams
The Lone-DITA site (http://www.lone-dita.com) aims to help small documentation teams and small/medium organizations to evaluate and implement DITA. The main feature of the site is a comprehesive tutorial that will guide users through the all major stages necessary to create technical documents using DITA and the DITA Open Toolkit.
XyEnterprise Contenta DITA
The XyEnterprise Contenta DITA Solution enables authors, editors, reviewers, translators and managers to automate workflow, re-use and share content, manage review cycles and translation, and publish to multiple channels. Seamless integration with the DITA Open Toolkit provides single source publishing to print, PDF, Help, Web and CD-ROM. Along with XyEnterprise’s suite of XML solutions, Contenta DITA was developed on an open architecture that ensures maximum scalability and investment preservation.

MP: STC 2007 Day 4
The conference finished off with a number of DITA case studies, from BusinessObjects, RIM, and PTC.
I highly recommend Larissa Sliwinsky's "Real-World DITA" case study on usage at Business Objects (ppt available from the STC session materials site). The business driver was customer complaints about lack of information, out-of-date information: as someone with a background in user assistance, it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy when someone chooses DITA to improve their customer experience/information quality, instead of focusing solely on its reuse benefits.
Anyone used In.vision Xpress Author / DITA Studio?
I'm investigating a switch to DITA for my company, and so far the tool that looks best to me is In.vision's Xpress Author and DITA Toolkit. Has anyone worked with this tool? If so, what do you think of it?

Day 3 kicked off with the DITA TC meeting, phoning in from my hotel room - we completed our disposition of features for 1.2 versus 1.3, and approved the creation of a new Semiconductor subcommittee, led by Bob Beims of Freescale. I know this has been in the makings for quite some time, kudos to Bob for pulling it together.
