Subject: dita.xml.org: Some answers to David's great questions -- and morequestions
Great questions, David. I'll answer what I can and
hope that Carol Geyer and JoAnn also will chime in. Don Day has also
expressed a willingness to join the Adoption Committee so that he can
continue to work on dita.xml.org. Here are some pages at dita.xml.org that might help give us all a better understanding of the site, OASIS expectations for focus areas, and the previous Editorial Board:
See my inline comments below enclosed in blue (for those of you who receive HTML e-mail) <kje> tags.

A user might get to this page by, in the right-hand pane, clicking Site info > About DITA XML.org. Will a user easily find this page? And does it contain the content that it needs?</kje> 48B2C77A.5070007@pobox.com" type="cite"> <kje>I'm going to work off the top, horizontal navigation bar and add some comments about which areas to which users can add content. Home Automatically generated content Wiki Knowledgebase Can add and modify pages; can add comments to pages. Cannot modify comments made by other users. News | Events | Products | Services | Resources | User Groups Can add <type-specific> pages; can modify the pages that they created. Can add comments to pages created by others. Cannot modify comments made by other users? Forums Don't know. I think we need to consider whether asking and answering questions is better handled on the dita-users mailing list. Blogs Can add blog pages; can modify the blog pages that they created. Can comment on blogs and reply to comments created by others. </kje> 48B2C77A.5070007@pobox.com" type="cite"> <kje>I am going to answer this based only on my own personal experience as a user of the site: User Groups This area hosts Web pages for various DITA users' group; it also links to groups that host their Web sites elsewhere. The RTP NC group uses dita.xml.org to host a Web page for our group: http://dita.xml.org/book/research-triangle-park-rtp-nc-dita-users-group We keep the page up-to-date with information about our monthly meetings and events. Resources I post PDFs of presentation that I give here: http://dita.xml.org/art-short-description http://dita.xml.org/resource/using-ibm-task-modeler-to-create-dita-based-information-sets I also post PDFs of presentations which are freely available on the Web but at a site that will expire, for example, presentations given at Xpubs 2008. I first discovered dita.xml.org by googling on a subject that returned one of the resource pages. Events I've added news pages for upcoming Webinars that I wanted to promote.</kje> 48B2C77A.5070007@pobox.com" type="cite"> <kje>This is one of the key questions. It raises some additional questions for me:
If we had subcommittee members who monitored sections of the site, we'd have a better chance of keeping up with the necessary work.</kje> 48B2C77A.5070007@pobox.com" type="cite"> |
