Proposed charter for Technical Communication Subcommittee

["Gershon Joseph (gerjosep)" <gerjosep@cisco.com>]

Hi all,

 

Here is the charter for the proposed Technical Communication subcommittee of the DITA TC:

 

While DITA was originally designed as an architecture for technical documentation, it has grown into a solution for much more than that. Today, DITA supports a growing set of industries and vertical markets via subcommittees that are responsible for their specializations. As a result, the technical communication specializations, including bookmap and the concept, reference, task, and glossary topic types, have been moved out of the base DITA package into a new "tech comm" package. The purpose of the Technical Communication Subcommittee is to take ownership of the "tech comm" specializations, driving new developments for technical communication and providing ongoing maintenance of the existing specializations.

 

Proposed chairs: Gershon Joseph and JoAnn Hackos
Proposed members:
- one technical writer from Cisco
- at least one technical writer from IBM (I have a list of 3 interested folks)
- at least 2 additional representatives from 2 companies JoAnn is following up on

 

Please review the charter in preparation for discussion and subsequent approval of the subcommittee at a future TC meeting.

 

Gershon
