Where might I find information on this product?  It sounds very interesting.

		This may be the time to bring up AuthorIT again. It has
popped up on the
		list repeatedly over the past 2+ months. The company is
based in New
		Zealand, I think. They have customers in the NZ Government.
I believe it
		does require MS Word be installed although the actual
editing of content
		need not be done with word; there is a built in topic
editing environment.
		On the surface, it seems well designed, by folks who have
actually written
		some documentation. It is quite young but seems healthy and
on the move.
