Hi all,

OFBiz is pretty XML intensive so I would be surprised if OFBiz
developers did not use an IDE that can validate XML.
Do we only want developers to help documenting OFBIz? Expecting *any* IDE
and XML is already a barrier to a business expert who knows how to use OFBiz
but doesn't understand XML.
The nice thing about DITA is that you can use whatever DITA authoring
tool that you want (with a few exceptions) to produce DITA without
impacting others ability to use their tool to edit the files that you
altered.
The same is true about AsciiDoc but the other issues that I have
mentioned previous make me a bit hesitant about AsciiDOC.
DocBook and DITA are very closely related and share many of the same
benefits and issues.
DITA is a newer standard and is replacing DocBook in most organizations.

Yes but we do have multiple destinations to support - multiple
languages, multiple customizations, multiple brandings.
Topics are likely shared between the same on-line help topic - concepts
shared with different task descriptions.
Eliminate duplication of background material and ensure that there is
only one version of each concept description and that the up to date
description appears in each help screen.
Sharing of topics and multiple destinations are not unique to DITA.
