... I agree that XML-DOC seems to be the most on-target group for addressing these issues but it surprises me how little traffic there is on this list. This...
A lot of free (open source) and/or reasonably priced document oriented XML tools are appearing now. Editors, through-the-web editors, processing tools, ...
Hi Melanie and all, the fact there is little traffic on this list does not mean there is little happening in the XML documentation area :-) There are plenty of...
Hmm...so many thoughts. I think you're right on. I'm sold on the XML idea for documentation, read all the arguments for and against, and endless, repetitive,...

What I were trying to state in an admittedly convoluted way was that the real challenge is not the lack of tools, but the lack of logistics and method. Given...

I've not yet been convinced that CMSes are the gold standard, myself. Tight workflow integration sounds great in theory, and I can see it working in a single...
