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'm using Docbook now and must agree with others who say it is very suitable for
what you are doing. As for tools, check out XMLMind XML Editor. Standard
edition is free for all purposes and provides an interface that is *not*
WYSIWYG, but is document like. I use it for my content editing. I have also
purchased Oxygen to use for editing my customisations (XSL) and for the easy
transformation scenarios.
