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.
Although it's not as full-featured as the solution you are looking for, one
writer in Toronto has implemented an XML-based single-sourcing solution and
written an article about it. Read the article "X Marks the Spot" by Michael
Skeet on my web site at http://www.soltys.ca/techcomm/articles/X_Marks_the_Spot.htm or http://members.home.net/ksoltys/techcomm/articles/X_Marks_the_Spot.htm (the
soltys.ca site seems to be unavailable right now - I have a funny feeling my
web hosting service may have been hit by the Code Red worm ....)
