I
would also like to add my comments regarding the need to publish a series of
whitepapers as a means to help DITA implementers at large to accelerate their
adoption of DITA. I believe that the Adoption TC presents a "vendor
neutral" image to the industry and the whitepapers we produce will be valued
more highly by the readers. As such, I don't think we want to publish
whitepapers in an "ad hoc" manner. Rather, we should have an overall plan
to roll out a series of essential whitepapers systematically, each with a
specific objective and audience in mind.
Thanks,

I think that the minutes should reflect that the vote was a "strawman vote"
rather than a ballot -- an informal opportunity to assess where members of the
committee stand and what their concerns are. As such, we probably don't want the
minutes to state that the "ballot passed."
I think it was a very
productive meeting and look forward to the committee producing a whitepaper that
will help people evaluate DITA and conduct pilot projects.
This is my
last DITA Adoption Committee meeting as a representative of IBM; the next time
we meet I will be an individual member of OASIS.
Best
regards,
Kris

JoAnn moved to approve previous minutes, Kristen seconded and none
objected.
The wiki page for the fact sheet has been created. Action Item
10 closed.
Gershon reported that there are enough reviewers for the
architectural specification. Action Item 3 closed.
Gershon commented that
next release of the DITA Open Toolkit will have changes documented in files
placed in the root folder. He also mentioned that the documentation for the new
PDF plugin should also be placed in the /doc folder.
Some vendors oppose
to promoting the Open Toolkit from within this committee. Gershon commented that
the Open Toolkit exists to prove the DITA concept, demonstrating that the
specification can be implemented. Tool vendors are free to include the Toolkit
in their software, but it is not required. We may need to make sure that we are
not over-promoting the Open Toolkit. It was acknowledged that the documentation
of the Toolkit needs to be improved and thats an impediment for DITA adoption.
As the Open Toolkit has been adopted by some vendors, improving the Toolkit may
alter the balance between vendors.
A ballot was conducted. The question
was Should we produce a white paper document that explains new DITA users how to
produce the output they need?. The ballot passed with 12 votes in favor and 2
against.
There were concerns on the scope of the white paper to be produced.
Some members objected suggesting users to download the Open Toolkit and
use it for producing output from DITA files. JoAnn will prepare a
tentative outline for the white paper. It will be discussed in future
meetings.
JoAnn invited all members to contribute on the facts sheet page
that we have on the wiki.
Meeting adjourned.
