I wrote the cover story for the special DITA issue of STC Intercom, April 2008. All the authoring tool vendors sent me licensed copies for testing.

Here is the tease for the story:

DITA's promise of topic-based structured authoring is not merely better documentation. lt is the creation of mission-critical information for your organization, written with a deep understanding of your most important audiences, that can be repurposed to multiple delivery channels and localized for multilingual global markets.

If you are not a member of STC, it would be good to join now to get a copy of this special issue.

I hope you will find the article useful.
