Tony, these files are great! Can you clarify the copyright/licensing
status of the files? For example, are they released to the public domain
so they can be used for any purpose, modified, and redistributed, or are
there restrictions?

If attribution is needed, to which group or company should it be given?

Best regards,
Su-Laine

Dear Carol

Thanks very much for the offer of hosting the sample files on DITA
XML.org.
At the DITA Help Subcommittee meeting today we agreed to follow that
path.
We are working through the files with a fine toothed comb, and after
we've
finished any corrections and additions, I'll liaise with you regarding
the
upload. We also discussed today the option of including some
deliberately
badly marked up topics (bad practice but valid mark-up), because a test
set
of topics should also represent the type of topics that might possibly
be
produced by a new DITA adopter.

Regards

Tony Self
Chair, OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee

DITA Adoption Committee:
See below. We could host these in DITA XML.org, if you think it's a good
idea.

Greetings colleagues!

I have uploaded to the DHSC files area a collection of DITA source files
for
a fictitious Help system. In our last telephone meeting, we discussed
these
files as offering a better test set than the Garage samples. In the
medium
term, when we're all sufficiently happy with the quality/accuracy of the
markup, these files will be permanently hosted in the Yahoo! DITA User
Group
Files area. (It was seen that this was the most logical place for
adopters
to find such files, as this is where many of the OT plug-ins are
hosted.)

If you get the chance, would you be able to review the topics to check
that
the semantic markup is correct, and suggest any changes that we could
make
so that the files represent good practice (if not best practice)? There
are
about 20 topics in all, and I hope this will be a small enough sample to
be
manageable, but a large enough sample to include conrefs, reltables,
images,
different information types, and different directory structures.

These topics were created by Heather Wymer, a "Structured Authoring with
DITA" student from Swinburne University. She has kindly given her
permission
for their use.

Regards

Tony Self
