Subject: RE: [dita-adoption-help] DHTG progress and check-in...
I would not personally call a PDF a “help” deliverable. Arbortext Editor can produce PDF, CHM, a custom web help, and a more robust system in conjunction with Digital Media Publisher – all from DITA source. I’m wondering whether we should consider reducing our scope. Maybe drop the tools altogether and keep the technologies. Move the DITA-OT stuff to whatever documentation is provided with the OT. Just list the tools that support the technologies where the technologies are described. I expect there are other places on the web that list DITA authoring tools. With the current scope of the guide and pace of developing topics, it will take a long time to get it finished…. Chris From: dita-adoption-help@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita-adoption-help@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Scott Prentice Hi Chris... Hey. Looking at the outline, I see tools there that are really just XML editing tools and not really help development tools. For example: Adobe FrameMaker JustSystems XMetal Oxygen XML Editor Maybe some of the others, as I’m not familiar with all of the tools on the list. I’m not remembering why we decided to include these in the guide. I would advocate for taking them out, as they only tangentially apply to help development. If we want to keep them in, then we should add others like PTC Arbortext Editor. But that’s a slippery slope…. Regards.
