I am forwarding Fengyan's (Galano?) comment to the DITA comment list.
Apparently many interested DITA users have received or downloaded pre-publication DITA v2.0 drafts, and are misled by the "placeholder" URIs (using "wd01", etc.) that appear on the front pages of these working drafts.
However, the targets of these URIs do not exist, and will never exist. "Working Drafts" are not published in the OASIS Library (docs.oasis-open.org), since (by definition) they have not yet been approved by the DITA Technical Committee for publication.
Regarding the status of DITA v2.0, it is definitely being developed actively. I'll encourage the DITA team to provide more public updates.Â
Fengyan (or Galano, if that isÂcorrect), you can read the DITA public comment list atÂhttps://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-comment/, or subscribeÂto it by following the instructions at the Send A Comment button on the TCâs web page at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=dita.
Best regards,
Paul

Hi,Â
This is Galano Han from China. As a technical writer using DITA for over 10 years, my team and I are evaluating some cool new features presented in DITA 2.0 specs, some of these features had been implemented in oXygen XML Editor for quite a while. However, when I'm looking for the latest language specs for DITA 2.0, I found the following links in the dita-2.0-specification.pdf went invalid.Â
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) Version 2.0. Edited by Robert D. Anderson and Kristen James Eberlein. 05 July 2019. Working Draft 05. http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v2.0/wd01/dita-v2.0- wd01.html. Latest version: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v2.0/dita-v2.0.html.
And I failed to find recent updates overÂhttps://www.oasis-open.org/Âeither. So, I'm sort of curious about the roadmap of DITA 2.0, will there be future releases or the project had been abandoned though nobody saying so?
