<p class="MsoNormal">I just started a new job at a software startup. I have basically a
<i>carte blanche</i> 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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
