January 15, 2008 – Bedford, NH – DocZone.com (www.doczone.com) today announced that BTI Systems, a leading provider of Optical Edge networking solutions for the delivery of gigabit services, has purchased a multi-year Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) contract to use the DocZone system for authoring, managing, and publishing DITA-based product content.

It is now one year since we started developing the DITA Users member organization.

We wish you a Happy New Year for 2008! To celebrate we are restoring free memberships in DITA Users!

Since we started charging for new memberships, member growth has slowed. We have added only about 30 new members since October 1, 2007. While we think the annual fee is small considering the benefits, it is obviously not small enough.

When DITA Users Beta membership was free, we grew quickly to nearly 400 members (from 24 countries).
