TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1) For small to medium-sized companies, XML-based authoring tools
are too
expensive and are still out of reach at the enterprise level.
Both DocBook and jade are free.
Also, you can't just look at the cost of the software. You need
to look at the time saved. If you're single-sourcing, then an XML
solution would pay for itself with time saved after 2 or 3
projects.
