Graphic re DITA 1.3 status: Feedback requested

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

I'd like feedback about the following graphic. (Obviously, it needs Tom Magliery's handiwork ...)



It does not go into all the gory details, nor do I think it should.

Best,
Kris

I like the thermometer idea.

And somebody, probably Kris, needs to post to DITA Users with the status
and a clear explanation of what it means.

Cheers,

   As a result of Chet's announcement yesterday that the DITA 1.3
   Committee Specification was approved and uploaded, I got pinged by
   several DITA members who asked "Is DITA 1.3 now approved and
   finished?"
   
   I think the stages of the OASIS process are fairly arcane, and maybe
   we need to do a better job of communicating to the larger DITA
   community just where DITA 1.3 is in the process. A couple things
   come to mind:
   
     
* We could use a graphic similar to the thermometer that many
       organizations use to track where they are in a fundraising
       campaign. (Preferably something less cheesy than a thermometer.)
     
* We could create a post on dita.xml.org that tracks our
       progress and uses the graphic.
     
     
* We could start a series of e-mails that use the new graphic.
       For example, we could start communicating with the OASIS
       organizational voting members for companies represented on the
       TC, as well as non-DITA TC member companies that voted "Yes" on
       DITA 1.2.
   

   Thoughts?
