The document discusses combining DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) with Drupal for documentation purposes. DITA is a standard for authoring, publishing, and managing structured content, while Drupal is an open-source content management system. Integrating the two allows leveraging Drupal's community and tools for DITA-based documentation. Features like DITA forms in Drupal and exporting DITA maps could improve documentation processes. The talk invites the audience to join the community effort around using DITA and Drupal together for documentation.
