Subject: Re: [dita] Congratulations and next steps
I started work on a Roadmap document that starts to organize how this and subsequent releases might look, and tried to apply Erik's suggestions to this admittedly outline-level view of things. I think we can develop more specific messages or other documents once we agree on the roadmap discourse and the links provided for it. I welcome your comments on how this is shaping up: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Roadmap_for_DITA_development#preview Regards, -- Don Day Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee IBM Lead DITA Architect Email: dond@us.ibm.com 11501 Burnet Rd.
