Title: Re: [dita-adoption] "Tools and DITA-Awareness" white paper published

Paul brings up a very good point.

 

We’ve talked previously about having a formal process for publishing white papers. Since publishing white papers has been the primary activity of the TC this past year. I think it would be smart to put an official policy in place.

 

Here is the URL for a previous list post about this:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-adoption/email/archives/201003/msg00010.html

 

Let’s put this on the agenda for a future TC meeting.

 

And I do apologize for publicizing this white paper too quickly.

Best regards,

Kris

We all have other jobs and real lives.  No one is suggesting that we put our OASIS TC work ahead of everything else.  I realize I spend a lot less time on DITA TC work than some others, and I very much appreciate the time that is put in by you who do.  (I spend more time on W3C work, and in the past I've spent much more on standards--I was the CTO for OASIS [née SGML Open] for its first 5 years driving its entire standards process.)

 

However, we should develop a better process here.  It's wrong for something to be announced publicly when it isn't listed on the TC's official home page.  It wasn't the email to the DITA Adoption TC saying the document was available that triggered my concern, but the email to dita-users@yahoogroups.com that I feel shouldn't have been sent until we had everything properly listed on the TC's home page.

 

I'd like to suggest that, in the future, when we approve something for publication, we hold off announcing it until we have it entered properly in all the various places.

I thought I already said that I needed a few days to get to this. It’s there now. I have to put it on the TC Members page before it appears on the non-members page. One mirrors the other. You don’t post it at all on the non-members page.

The TC Members page can only be edited by Gershon, Rodolfo, and myself.

I actually have full-time responsibility at the company, I have grandchildren visiting this weekend, and I’m leaving for Shanghai on Monday. Sometimes I get busy.

If it's published, why isn't it listed at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-adoption#expository

The OASIS DITA Adoption Committee has published a new white paper about “Tools and DITA-Awareness.” The white paper is authored by Su-Laine Yeo, JustSystems Canada, and you can download it from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/39829/Tools_and_DITA-Awareness.pdf
