John, If you can get the money to do it, hire Suite Solutions (http://www.suite-sol.com/) to write the EDDs and style sheets (xsl-fo and xslt) for you. Instead of struggling with it, pulling your hair out, and getting freustated, let the pros do it. Your manuals and help files will look great.
-Gillian From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of John Sgammato Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 6:26 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: greenfield and new structure I just started a new job at a software startup. I have basically a carte blanche to build an awesome doc system. The existing doc is mostly in DITA xml, but not yet in FM. I have TCS4 and DITA-FMx. I plan to go Structured. First deliverables will be PDFs, but I have flexibility after that. I would love to find some EDDs for basic DITA-compliant user manuals, and I'd love some war stories about getting Structured, tales of heroism and tragedy, etc. Please feel free to reply to me directly with comments not suitable for the broader community.
