We could use something like docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/errata/ and then have version-specific filenames (dita-v1.1-errata-cd01) with a current version name of dita-v1.1-errata or similar. Who > would have permission to augment that document? [Mary: ] The TC would maintain the document like any other. At each point a new set of changes is approved the status would go from CD 01 to CD 02 (with interim CD01 R01, R02, etc. until approval). Each time a new CD is created send it to me and I'll upload (at least until the OASIS Library is at a point where members can self-serve). > > Something like that would seem to me to be most beneficial to > our user and implementor community and most manageable by the TC. > [Mary: ] +1 > paul > > > > > I'm ready and willing to help - I just need to know exactly > > how the TC > > wants to proceed. > > > > Regards, > > > > Mary > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Grosso, Paul [mailto:pgrosso@ptc.com] > > Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 1:42 PM > > To: dita@lists.oasis-open.org > > Subject: RE: [dita] Errata information added to home page > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Robert D Anderson [mailto:robander@us.ibm.com] > > > Sent: Tuesday, 2007 September 04 12:19 > > > To: dita@lists.oasis-open.org > > > Subject: RE: [dita] Errata information added to home page > > > > > > "Grosso, Paul" <pgrosso@ptc.com> wrote on 09/04/2007 12:11:57 PM: > > > > However, it would be best to have a separate "Errata for DITA > 1.1" > > > > page that could be linked to from this location on our > > main TC page. > > > > > > I agree - I asked Don about setting up another page at the > > > TC, but it looks > > > like the only way to add pages to the main Committee page is > > > by uploading a > > > document or by sending an email.
