Subject: Re: [dita] Are there committee notes that the TC should consider publishing?


I think both the DITA TC and the DITA Adoption TC should publish white papers and committee notes.

Some material -- such as the recent "Why three editions of DITA 1.3" -- should come directly from DITA TC.

I hope this note is in response to the request for authors from the Adoption TC. I believe we should publish Routh the feature article program we have had in place for many years.

We have the style sheets in place to generate XHTML and PDF.

Are there papers that the TC should author?

I think we've seen that many people (including consultants and vendors) do not really understand the core benefits and features of DITA:
  • Configuration through document-type shells
  • Specialization and generalization
  • Constraints
  • Modularity
  • What needs to be done in order for companies to interchange content

In addition, I think there is confusion between DITA (the standard) and DITA as one part of an XML solution.
