Training and Tools for DITA

[Scott Turner]

FM has the ability to structure unstructured documents. See tha appendix in the fm 9 manual. 

Assuming that the formatting in the  fm 9 documents followed a consistent style the transformation won't be horrible. The real work comes in building the EDD.

I am looking for FrameMaker plugins for 1) converting unstructured framemaker 9 files into DITA  and 2) that help with DITA authoring in general, though I believe FrameMaker's out of the box capabilities are pretty decent. Also, are there some good DITA tutorials out there? Cost is an issue for my colleague so closer to free would be preferable :).
