This post to announce that milestone 2 of the DITA Open Platform is now released.

Starting with this milestone the Platform has two main components, the Editor and the EasyTrac package.

The Editor has some bug fixes and minor improvements (like the ability to choose which version of the DITA specifications to use) but what is really new is the EasyTrac package.

The EasyTrac package contains a pre-configured Apache2 server used to run the Trac project management system and Subversion repositories under the Windows operating system. Using those tools you can:

• share knowledge with the wiki,
• manage your authoring process using tickets and milestones and
• manage your content using Subversion.

With Trac comes also the Bitten continuous integration plugin with support to automate the build of your documentation using the DITA Open Toolkit.

You will find anything necessary to get you started in the documentation section of this site.

Support will be provided using the SourceForge Support Requests tracker or the Yahoo! dita-users mailing list.

Happy new year to everyone!
