     dita.xml.org Knowledgebase.
   > AI/Bob: Run a site scraping tool against all the 
     on dita.xml.org to build a repository of its 
     contents.
   > AI/Stan: Dig out his slides on "top reasons" NOT to move
     to DITA and forward to the ATC list.

   whether articles there should be:
   a. Removed eventually
   b. Preserved
   c. Revised and re-integrated
   d. Replaced with something else

2. Summary comments - dita.xml.org review
   > Much of the content there is sparsely written, outdated, or
     irrelevant to DITA 1.3 users. 
   > ATC attendees converged on the opinion that moving ahead 
     with the current outline would not be wise.
   > ATC attendees proposed a bottom-up approach to reorganizing 
     the site ... starting with audience analysis.

3. Audience analysis brainstorming - dita.xml.org review 
   > Specify audience types in the actual articles
   > Revisit the audience profiles at the next meeting

   a. Newbies (froshpeople) - just being exposed to DITA, quite probably
      developing a business case or first prototypes for DITA
      1) Newbie manager - wants information on previous business 
         cases, wants logic behind a migration
         - Example - the Nokia business case
      2) Newbie information architect - wants information about
         design decisions, gotchas, et al.
      3) Newbie writer - wants information about how to get 
         started with DITA
      4) Newbie translation manager - wants information about 
         best practices and pitfalls
      5) Newbie tech support professional or implementer - wants 
         information about tools configuration and basic
         customization issues (including specialization)

   b. First-year adopters (sophomores) - have been working in DITA
      for a year and want to profile ROI and to assess 
      next-generation investment points.
