Resources to help a newbie create DITA documents in FrameMaker 10

[Scott Prentice]

I'm not terribly surprised about this. No, there's nothing very useful 
that ships with the product. There's a lot "out there" in blogs and 
wikis and maillists .. but unless you know where to look or who to ask, 
you're probably out of luck. Yes .. posting to the FM forum should have 
provided more than just a reference to the docs.

The problem is that "creating a DITA project" in FrameMaker is really no 
different than doing that in any other XML authoring tool. You do need 
to understand the structured FrameMaker UI, but DITA is DITA regardless 
of the tool.

I often answer those posts on the FM forum, don't know why I missed it.  :o
