9. Continued discussion of the Goals of this committee for the rest of 2012. - No update since last meeting
* With the idea of expanding the reach of DITA beyond its original user base in Tech Doc, we discussed the possibility of creating a basic toolkit or quick start evaluation kit to answer questions such as "Where do I start?" and "How can I evaluate DITA on the basis of cost/benefit analysis?"
* This might be considered DITA Lite or DITA -- Evaluation Version, but it is not intended for anything other than evaluation purposes.
** How does this relate to Priestly's DITA Lite proposal for 1.3?
** Expected, perhaps, to be rudimentary evaluation materials.
* Throughout the rest of 2012, we should outline the work required to do this, if not get something built.
* AI: Jordan to discuss with JoAnn the details of this idea, and come back to the Adoption TC with more detailed ideas.
