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.
Although I am sure there are many qualified DITA and Frame users on
TECHWR-L, you might also post this question to the dita-users and
framemaker-dita lists over at yahoo.
The dita-users list particularly has exploded with activity recently, as
reported in the April DITA Newsletter. http://www.ditanewsletter.com.
Cheers,
Bob
