I also want to send out a huge thank you to John and everybody else on the
committee. There is no doubt John spearheaded this and helped us all gather
round a vision and produce something extremely valuable. I am grateful to
have been part of this project to date and look forward to the next phase.

Cheers,

Greetings,

The learning design proposal could not have come to a reality without John's
stalwart and steady leadership. I would like to thank and recognize his
dedication to the vision and to the effort that enabled our work to get this
far. We could have done this without John. Great work John!

Wayne

Dear DITA learning sub-committee,

I'm happy to report that at this week's meeting, the OASIS DITA Technical
Committee 
voted to accept and approve Design Proposal #12058 - Specialization for
learning and 
training, including the supporting design and language specification and
DTD/XSD schemas.


This makes our learning and training specialization part of the approved
design 
for DITA 1.2. 


We can all celebrate. You have all contributed, by providing feedback in 
meetings, emails, phone calls, and other forums. This is a significant step
towards 
enabling structured content as a standard part of developing, assembling,
and 
delivering good learning and training content. 


However, our work as a sub-committee is not done. Our next step is to
identify best 
practices for both content development and processing to target
deliverables, develop 
against sample content, and deliver a complete starter set demonstration
package 
for use with the DITA Open Toolkit, building on the current plugin package,
sample 
content, and core processing we have now.

After taking the next two weeks off to celebrate, let's re-convene on
Thursday, 
November 29 to discuss and plan the next steps together.


Thanks again to all of your for your help and support in helping to get us
to this 
important milestone.

John
