7. ITEM: Article about Tools and DITA Awareness (Su-Laine, JoAnn)
Passed on from DITA TC meeting
Su-Laine wrote a Tools and DITA Awareness topic. From the DITA TC minutes: Consensus that it won't be part of the spec. Jeff had some comments. What is next step? Adoption TC? JoAnn thought it would be appropriate, fits along with Compliance List for example. Consensus to do so--this will go to JoAnn for the Adoption TC.
