RE: [dita-adoption] "DITA on its way out" thread

["Tony Self" <tself@hyperwrite.com>]

Greetings, colleagues

I agree with Su-Laine that this is a concern. Although I'm not in a position
to volunteer for at least six months, it might be good to find a volunteer
to visit the dita.xml.org forum daily and respond to posts in some way. I'm
not sure about the etiquette of referring posted queries to the Yahoo! DITA
Users group.

Hi everyone,
		
From http://dita.xml.org/blog/dita-on-its-way-out:

-------------------------------------------------

Blog entry: Submitted by spaguniak on Tue, 2010-10-05 22:08. 
A software developer (co-worker) told me the other day that DITA was on its
way out...along with XML..and that everything will revert back to HTML. Is
this true--or do you see this becoming a reality in the future?

Well, given the fact that there's not much activity in the forum and I'm
getting no response from the site on a question that I tried to post that
was marked as spam, your friend might have a point...

-------------------------------------------------

Am I the only one who thinks that the "Forums" area of dita.xml.org is
currently more of a detriment than a help? 
What do you think of taking this area of the site down and replacing it with
a page suggesting that readers pose their questions to the dita-users group
on Yahoo?
