Subject: Re: [dita-adoption] Agenda: 03-25-2018 DITA Adoption TC Meeting


Sadly, I will not be able to attend today’s meeting as I have an internal meeting at the same time that I cannot get out of.

Just wanted to give you a quick summary of some of the points from the agenda that I am either responsible for or have some input on:

 

1. Greg - agenda item: review short-term decisions for ditaforums.xml.org (a.k.a. http://ditaforums.org/)

I have found out who the people are at OASIS for moving the DNS settings that would allow us to swap the Congility-hosted server for the old dita.xml.org website. The plan is to do the following:

-          Move the existing/old website to a subdomain, something like ditaold.xml.org, ditaarchive.xml.org or something that will distinguish it as being a deprecated website. It should contain “dita” in there. Would appreciate feedback from the members of this group as to their preference as to the subdomain name to use.

-          Move the Congility-hosted website to the existing dita.xml.org URL. Ideally, the timing of this should be shortly before the CMS/DITA NA 2018 conference beginning April 23, perhaps the Thursday or Friday before.

-          Move the Discuss forum website to ditaforums.xml.org. As this is not truly public as yet and nothing links to it, we can move this anytime. I was working with the folks at OASIS and with Greg to make this happen.

On the last point, Kris Eberlein objected strongly to the wording of the forum website, which is something that I was planning to bring up at today’s meeting. Greg can fill you in on the details, but we cannot state that the forum has an “official” status conferred by either OASIS or the DITA TC, or even DITA Adoption. We need to change the wording, and suggestions from the members of this group are welcome.

Also, I have updated the Congility-hosted DXO website with the latest content posted to the existing website, so it is up-to-date. Still a few bugs to work out, but things definitely seem to be ready for launch prior to CMS/DITA NA 2018.

4. Keith and Kathy -- report out from the 03-15-2018 "DITA Worst Practices" webinar.

Kathy can hopefully provide full details on this, but at its peak we had over 200 people in attendance, and over 350 registrants. Definitely a success.

It is also worth considering that with the registrant list DITA Adoption can potentially do an email to this group informing them of future events (such as the launch of the revamped dita.xml.org plus ditaforums.xml.org, etc.).

Also, my VP has given me the go-ahead to do a sequel presentation to DITA Worst Practices, tentatively titled “Son of DITA Worst Practices”. Aim is to have it ready in the June timeframe. (Kathy: would CIDM consider hosting this webinar?)

 

About the only other news item I have relates to the LwDITA Whitepaper. Was hoping to have a draft ToC ready by today, but my DITA 2.0 Stage 2 proposal (adding strong and em) took up more time than I counted on. Michael Priestley of the LwDITA SC has asked for their members to review the whitepaper before it goes out, which makes sense to me (was planning on doing just that when I had gotten further in the process).

 

Cheers!
