Breaking News

Before we founded CM Professionals in early 2004, we had launched CMS Consultants, hoping to list the major system integrators, professional services shops, and independent consultants with expertise in content management systems. We created an international directory system, with metadata tagging to locate experts by experience, skill sets, and region.

As part of our CMS Review network of sites, we developed many community resources like the CMS Calendar, CMS Glossary, CMS Wiki, our Blogs Aggregator at CMS News, CMS Global, and the markup language project CMSML. These resources appeared on the original CM Pros website for years, but now they are gone. They are now adapted, along with our Resource Library, for this new CMS Consultants site.

We have also launched another content management community specializing in the new Darwin Information Typing Architecture standard.

DITA is the fastest path to XML-based component content management. A DITA editor and the DITA Open Toolkit form a complete end-to-end content publishing system.

There are six new websites in support of DITA, starting with a members organization modeled on CM Pros.

DITA Users - members pay $100/year for access to a workspace folder, a web-based editor, and a server-based version of the DITA Open Toolkit that allows them to author and build DITA files, then publish them to multiple outputs including web (HTML), print (PDF), and Online Help.

DITA Blog - a group blog for DITA information developers.

DITA Infocenter - a searchable knowledge base of specifications.

DITA News - a mailing list, blog aggregation, and a DITA newsletter.

DITA Tutor - self-paced and instructor-led tutorials and workshops.

DITA Wiki - resources with comments and discussions for DITA Users.
