Subject: Potential new DITA interest area
Hello, We've got a lot of people inside IBM using DITA specializations to mix API information with other documentation. These specializations have been released through the DITA Open Toolkit, as a core set of generic API document types, along with more specialized types specifically for Java. Nokia recently released an additional set of specializations for C++ based on the same core set of API modules, and I've gotten a lot of queries about extending them for other languages. Is there interest from anybody else on the TC in making these document types a little more formal? For example, we could start up something like a "DITA for Programmers" subcommittee that at least works on the core API Document types, and potentially the extensions into some language specific modules. Eventually, I would hope that any approved API modules like this could be released as independent packages - that is, I would not expect them to be part of the eventual DITA 1.3 specification itself. Thanks - Robert D Anderson IBM Authoring Tools Development Chief Architect, DITA Open Toolkit
