Re: [dita-adoption] FW: DITA Adoption SWOT Analysis

["David J. B. Hollis" <dhollis@AandOConsultancy.ltd.uk>]

Hi, Claude

Yes, I think that's an important aspect. Not just for specialisations,  
but transforms as well. I've added it to the Opportunities area.

I've just read a posting by Troy to the STC Single Sourcing list in  
which he mentions 'documentation by the pound'. In other words, if  
you're being paid by visible or total results, this is a driver to  
duplicate and not use single sourcing techniques. Is it worth  
including something like this in Threats? Or is it too non-specific to  
DITA Adoption? A similar factor can sometimes exist with marketing  
material.

BTW, I noticed that any words in 'camel caps' end up as links. This is  
a Wiki 'feature'. So, FrameMaker and DocBook would be interpreted as  
being links to a local Wiki page with those names. I decided that  
incorrect capitalisation was the lesser evil compared with a false  
link. If anyone has any strong feelings about this, please speak up!

Many thanks,
David
