Subject: Seeking volunteer to drive PDF formatting issue for 1.2 spec
- From: "Gershon Joseph (gerjosep)" <gerjosep@cisco.com>
- To: "DITA TC" <dita@lists.oasis-open.org>

Hi
team,
I'm seeking a
volunteer to relieve me from driving the issues with the PDF output for the
DITA spec. Due to my ongoing editor and author role on the spec, I won't have
time to drive this in time for the scheduled 1.2 release.
This task involves
the following activities:
- Collect all of the
issues we have with our PDF output on our Wiki. The Wiki page already exists
and has been populated by one TC member. I have input from other reviewers in
a Microsoft Word file. You also need to QA the PDF yourself to identify
additional issues that may not have been caught yet.
- Analyze each issue
listed in the Wiki and determine whether it must be fixed via XSLT (that
transforms DITA XML to XSL-FO) or via updates to the source DITA
content.
- Perform the fixes
or delegate them to a suitable TC member to fix the XSLT and DITA content.
These may be different folks. Tony Self has offered to help with the XSLT
fixes.
Ideally, the person
taking this over from me should have extensive past experience in coding complex
XSLT to XSL-FO transformations in the DITA-OT PDF plug-in (what used to be the
Idiom plug-in), plus have an eye for catching formatting issues when scanning a
PDF file.
Looking forward to
receiving responses from keen TC members ;-)
