Teresa's DocBook vs. DITA article
Scott Hudson
points to DocBook versus DITA: Will the Real Standard Please Stand Up? (slides here at dev.day.com) wriiten by my colleague Teresa Mulvihill. Scott points out that DocBook can be used for single-sourcing out of the box, thanks to support for XInclude and I would like to add that we at Day are currently in the process of translating our documentation to DocBook (not DITA) and first results are looking very promising. We are using Wilfried Springer's DocBook Maven Plugin as the driver of the processing toolchain, which is powerful, because we can integrate documentation development tightly with software development, sharing the same repository, using the same branches and tags and using the same build process.
