Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] My intro for the list

["Hudson, Scott" <Scott.Hudson@schneider-electric.com>]

Hi All,

I’ve been with DITA since v1.1. I’m primarily interested in lightweight DITA for use in a browser-based authoring environment. Many XML tools are very expensive and adoption and change management are difficult in large organizations. I want to promote structured content through an easier-to-author web-based environment.

My role at Pelco by Schneider Electric is dedicated to Integration Partner support, but I have connections with the Pelco Tech Pubs department as well as Tech Pubs departments in the larger Schneider Electric family of companies, including SquareD, APC, Greybar, Invensys and more.

DITA is key to Schneider Electric technical publications strategy, and I think we can make even more traction with the capabilities of Lightweight DITA.

My highest priorities are:

- browser-based authoring

- browser-based direct rendering of XML (via XSL/CSS)

Thanks and best regards,

--Scott

As we discussed in the meeting yesterday, I'm kicking off a round of intros so we can all get to know each other a little better.

I've been with DITA since day 1, and was the co-editor of the DITA 1.0 and 1.1 specification. I'm excited about lightweight DITA because it gives us a chance to apply the lessons we've learned with full DITA in crafting a high-functioning but lightweight architectural subset.

My current role at IBM is one of content technology strategist, with a scope that lets me influence (but not necessarily direct) technology development across many different content development and delivery organizations, with both internal and external audiences. Lightweight DITA is a part of every content technology strategy deck I put together in IBM. It's a core piece of the architecture we need to allow content to be truly portable, across systems, skill sets, and formats.

The highest priority scenarios I'm focusing on for IBM use (with help from other IBMers) are:

- marketing content and HTML5 mappings
- training content and EPUB mappings
- developer content and both markdown and HTML5 mappings
