We had a small meeting last time, and talked
about how to streamline our process to get something out sooner.
What do people think about focusing
our efforts on getting the core package out ASAP, with industry-specific
specializations being used to validate the architecture but not necessarily
including them in the package?
For example, we could aim to publish
a specification for V1.0 that:
- defines lightweight DITA topics, maps,
and specialization
- defines mappings/implementations for
XML, HTML5, markdown, JSON
- defines a lightweight specialization
document type that allows quick generation of new map and topic specializations
- and links to separate pages/papers
for each industry/discipline area, which can continue being developed after
the initial spec is published
Each domain position paper (not a formally
approved spec) would cover:
- value proposition of lw dita for that
domain
- listing of example roles and scenarios
- list of example content types
- at least one example specialization
of one of the domain-specific content types (unless none are needed)
What do folks think? I'm reluctant to
push too far ahead with the core spec without some validation from the
domain analysis that we're including the right things. But maybe we're
asking for too exhaustive an analysis. Maybe we just need enough analysis
to ensure that we've got a useful direction, and then we can release and
begin iterating.
