Hi Molly
We have recently changed from unstructured FrameMaker documentation to
structured XML DITA (still using Frame). Our old respository was
similiar to yours and had the following structure.
Techpubs
- English
-- Images
-- Insets
-- Books
-- Output
- French
-- Images
-- Insets
-- Books
-- Output
Our new structure is very similar, but we incorporated revisions
Techpubs
- Revision 1.0
-- English
--- Images
--- DITAmaps
--- Topics
--- Books
--- Output
-- French
--- Images
--- DITAmaps
--- Topics
--- Books
--- Output
- Revision 1.1
-- English
--- Images
--- DITAmaps
--- Topics
--- Books
--- Output
-- French
--- Images
--- DITAmaps
--- Topics
--- Books
--- Output
By incorporating revisions, the repository is also self-containing when
it is time to archive, since we just copy the -Revision folder once a
release has occcured, providing an automatic archive for previous
revisions.

Hi All,
I'm looking for your advice on the building a repository of Frame
insets, docs, books and referenced graphics. Right now the content is
unstructured but that will change in 6 weeks.
For the sake of usability, I've used something like this in the past:
Root
- TechPubs
-- graphics
-- insets
-- books
It's been a while since I've done this and need your feedback on the
simplest structure and what works for you. My client is also talking
about "when" the repository has to be moved (ugh) I'm thinking if the
new location traverses the root, we'd have to map the drives to reflect
the current structure.
Of course, this is happening at breakneck speed with input about what
people would like minus experience.
Your feedback is appreciated!
Best,
Mollye
