Hi, Brenda.
I'm glad that you like the list. Unfortunately you can't single source
from it; it is built by whatever sort of application that Delicious (a
social bookmarking site) uses. I simply created an account, uploaded a
bookmarks list from Firefox, and then added tags. It is a public list,
and anyone who wants it can export an HTML version that can be used
with a browser or imported into a Delicious account.
Your e-mail raised several questions in my mind:
- Who is the audience for this list of DITA resources? If it's me,
a confessed information junkie, the lengthier a list the better. But I
imagine others might want a more targeted list, with less overlap and
minutia. Anybody have any personas in mind? I think this also is a
segue into one of the questions that JoAnn asked us all to think about:
"What do we mean by adoption?"
- There is overlap between the various resources, especially those
that I tagged as "portal." They all refer to each other, yet each has
its own flavor. Robin Cover's list at
http://xml.coverpages.org/dita.html
is by far the most extensive -- and
hosted by OASIS.
If we create a detailed list of DITA resources, how do we ensure that
it is useful and not just a duplication of an existing list? Are we
prepared to update it regularly with new resources and maintain it to
keep all the links alive?
- How does such a list of DITA resources overlap with the function
and goals of the dita.xml.org focus area? Maybe this work/action item
should be part of the responsibilities of the subcommittee that we need
to create to deal with dita.xml.org

Hi Kris,
Fantastic
list! I Are you thinking you’d
like to single source your list for the committee’s list, pick links
from
it, or link to it? I personally think it’d be terrific to use in
entirety,
but not sure if that’s being offered. If you can single source the
list in some form into the committee list, that’d be terrific and a
superior approach, in my opinion, to the less detailed list.
You can find my
list of DITA resources on the Web at http://delicious.com/kriseberlein/DITA
It has approximately 150 bookmarks, which you can further sort by the
following
categories (and more):
- Article
- Blog
- Information
architecture
- Portal
- Presentation
- Tools
