Well, DITA is mainly about XML, so, using XLMMind XML Editor (XXE) for instance, you can insert some element (paragraph) easily, but you sometime need to go back in the hierachy to insert a new element (you can't insert a title tag in a bullet list). So, whatever the kind of tool, there will an investment, for sure. We make it easy by providing templates, but there will be an investment. And the question is: does it worth it ? Or keeping Word files here and ASCII & HTML files there is enough ? I don't want to impose anything on this, and am obviously open to any suggestions that could fulfill our needs (which are, according to me: reuse, multiple output format, multiple contents, scriptable, versioned efficiently by SVN -- that is using plain text, easy to edit). > > We need to decide something on this topic, which is an important one.

For instance I want to start writing doc about Jaluino, but I still need to have the correct tool.
