In this podcast, Mike Hamilton of Madcap Software talks about their phased approach to handling DITA with Flare. In Phase I, you’ll have the ability to import DITA topics and export to webhelp and other targets. In this sense, Flare functions as a transform engine. In Phase 2, you can use Flare for native DITA authoring. Phase 1 is on the cusp of release, but Phase II won’t be available until quarter one of next year.

Hi Tom,
Finding your Podcast and the Madcap’s planned 2-phase Flare-DITA solution very interesting.
For some reason the interview cuts off after a little over 4 minutes just when I’m getting very eager to hear more about what Mike has to say about phase 2 and native DITA authoring using Flare. Would be very interested in hearing the full length version and wondering if you could help me out?
Thanks,
Angelika.
Thanks for the note. This may have been a glitch with the MP3 export from Audacity. I just reexported and uploaded it, so try it again and let me know if you still experience the problem.
All perfect now, thanks very much for reposting.
Very Informative. This is worth reading. Thanks!
