We're getting ready to abandon an in-house system to go to a system using Saros
Document Manager and Saros Mezzanine. An additional piece will be created in
house that will allow us to send our documents through a sign-off loop and to
notify affected end users about changes in documentation. So far other groups
report good results with the Saros portions of the system, and I find the
interface quite easy to use.
I'm hoping we'll be able to develop some additional tools in-house that will
lead to an SGML publishing system, but that will be some time out.
