Subject: Proposal for Lightweight DITA subcommittee


Want to get this on the agenda for discussion so we can vote next week:

Proposed name:
Lightweight DITA

Proposed mailing list:
dita-light@lists.oasis-open.org

Statement of purpose:
To develop a specification for a lightweight DITA architecture that can ease implementation by vendors and adoption by users. The architecture will provide:
- Easy out of the box authoring for common topic types
- Out of the box mappings and specifications for authoring these topic types in other formats, such as HTML5 or markdown
- Easy assembly of new specializations from existing section types
- Easy creation of new specializations by generation from a topic type designed for specifying specializations

Deliverables
- Analysis of lightweight DITA related personas, scenarios, and requirements
- Lightweight authoring profiles for topic, concept, task, reference, potentially others
- Lightweight specialization architecture
- Specialization authoring format
- Analysis of lightweight DITA implementation options in other formats, including HTML5 and markdown
- Implementations of lightweight DITA that allow for roundtripping with constrained versions of other formats
