Subject: RE: [dita-adoption] Wiki page for examples of documents created in DITA
I appreciate and share your frustration, but I don't think we really want to remove the spam filter altogether. We've been there before and it's been disastrous. Nobody believes the site's current behavior makes sense or that our current tweaking practice is a long-term solution. I think it's obvious we need to install a better Drupal spam module or to upgrade to the next version of Drupal (or both). Our webmaster has this on his to-do list, but he's in the middle of a major project to transition the main OASIS web site to Drupal now. I'm doing my best to get the resources to address this, and will let you know as soon as there's any progress.

I just got a report today from someone who was trying to add a link but couldn't. When I went to the page to look, the content that that person had been trying to add was there, however the topic had a pink background and a "mark as not spam" link at the bottom. I remember clicking the "mark as not spam" link for this page earlier today, so I imagine that if a page is edited, Drupal may forget that the page is not spam. Regarding the site's behaviour of asking the user to log in in order to see a page that it thinks might be spam: As you know, this behavior has caused http://dita.xml.org/book/list-of-organizations-using-dita to go down several times. It doesn't even make sense to me to have a feature that responds to the addition of potentially-spam links by automatically hiding the entire page from non-logged-in users. Even if a system is 100% accurate in detecting whether a link is spam or not spam, hiding the entire page is a silly thing for the system to do in response. Could we try removing the spam filter altogether? Or find a Drupal spam module that works? Tweaking the current software over and over doesn't seem to be a good long-term solution.

Its purpose is as follows: "This page shows examples of documents that have been created using DITA. It illustrates the types of documents for which DITA can be used, and the capabilities of tools for converting DITA source content into reader-friendly output. Free to add your own examples to this page if you think they will help to demonstrate the flexibility of DITA." I hope people will add lots of nice-looking examples to it so that others can see what DITA is capable of. Also, if anyone wants to try fixing the table formatting, please do.
