TORONTO, Canada — April 5, 2011
Codex Systems today announced the release of Codex®, a new type of editor that enables anyone to author XML-based DITA content easily and affordably. With Codex non-technical authors can create and edit simple DITA topics and maps that can then be used in sophisticated XML publishing processes.
SeSAM has gained a level of interest lately (www.sesam-info.net). The controversial part of SeSAM is that an information analysis, to determine what content to write in end user documentation for a technical product, is not starting with an analysis of users, their goals and tasks, but the Meaningful Result Statements (MRS). Don’t get me wrong here; knowledge about users are a fundamental part of SeSAM, but they are not the first thing you focus on. Most of the content you need to write is derived from the MRSs. So what is a meaningful result statement? Read this blog post to find out.
Consider joining the DITA Machine Industry group on LinkedIn. Then you can discuss what you are missing in the DITA 1.2 standard "out-of-the-box", including the new machine industry specialization, and what you need to make DITA applicable to your business in the machine industry.
