Tool for conducting DITA 1.3 spec reviews

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

For DITA 1.2, we used the OASIS Kavi Wiki pages to conduct our spec reviews. It was painful at best ...

For DITA 1.3, we've agreed that we need to find a better review tool, preferably one that enables us to view the spec draft AND the reviewers' comments aggregated together in real time. (For folks with time at IBM, something comparable to Web Review or eReview would be ideal.)

Here's my initial list of our requirements -- please think whether there are one's that I have missed:

• Enables reviewers to view spec draft and reviewers' comments together
  
• Be able to handle DITA source authored in an evolving DITA 1.3
• (If tool uses DITA-OT) Be able to easily change to a new release or patch an existing release

Can folks think of potential tools that we can use? Mekon, a TC member, is willing to do a demo for us of DITAweb

Best,
