Subject: topics of interest on today's TC call

Discussion of user and vendor comments at the CIDM
conference about the growing complexity of DITA led to recognition
of a need to identify a DITA
subset for new users in 1.3. This intersects
nicely with issues we have been addressing.
Michael reported that the meeting of OASIS Chairs discussed the desirability
of a unified way of authoring, publishing, reviewing, etc. OASIS specifications.
The ODF TC Chair (and some others) apparently had bad experiences editing XML
some time in the past and seem closed to considering DITA now. (Defense of ODF
is surely a factor too. The ODF Chair doesn't [or doesn't want to?] understand
why random round-tripping between ODF and DITA is problematic.) Michael
will offer to do a demo to OASIS chairs of the system used in IBM for
specifications. There was talk of
establishing a subcommittee for this. I
mentioned to Don that specifications are among the types of documents that the
BusDocs SC have researched, and that at the least it should be considered in the
larger context of the framework for business documents that we have been
working on, and presumably will report on in 6 weeks or so when our turn comes
up. (The sequence for liaison reports is maintained at http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/FrontPage.)
The TC is too unaware of what we have been doing, so
they are unable to take it into consideration.
