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.
I was not aware of the non-localization support, that is an important piece
of information as well as the content management piece. I am not sure which
solution would work if any of them.
The UX team has a solution but I'm not sure of that team will include the
writers in their process which is also important. The considerations you
mentioned are good things to bring to the table to ask about their
solution.
I also haven't worked with MadCap Flare for a long while and it may be more
robust than it first was when I used it.
