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.
I don't think FM+WWP would help you much either, given the bulk of your
deliverables are online and you provide only smaller "getting started"
style print-ready documents. The FM+WWP solution is mainly for people
who have a heavy print and online need.

::: -----Original Message-----
::: I don't think that WWP and Frame can replace Deva tools -
::: unless they've
::: added a search capability I'm not aware of.
:::
::: In my situation, we develop a web-based application. We
::: provide all our
::: documentation as context-sensitive help with a search
::: engine as the primary
::: means of locating information. We do not have a TOC - trying to find
::: anything amid 1800+ twisty books and pages is impossible.
::: We do provide some
::: "print" capability. Of course, you can print out any help
::: topic you want
::: from your browser, but we've also generated some PDFs of
::: basic pages that
::: most people, when learning our application, want to read.
::: So we made it easy
::: to print out several 50-page batches of related topics that
::: people can
::: easily read separate from the application. Oh, and we also
::: provide a CD with
::: just the Help system on it so that people can load it on
::: their laptops and
::: use it to read and learn offline from the application itself.
:::
::: I really don't see that Frame and WWP is going to do
::: anything to make my
::: life easier, or generate anything that is as good for my
::: users. But I am
::: willing to listen.
