Subject: Minutes of 4 October DITA for Technical Communication SC
Minutes of DITA for Technical Communication SC Monday, 4 October 2010 ---------------------------------------------- Present: JoAnn Hackos, ComTech Gershon Joseph, Cisco Paul Gross, PTC, Kris Eberlein, SDL Seraphim Larsen, Intel Regrets: Darryl Tewes, Individual member Patricia Gee, Oracle 1. Meeting time and date ------------------------ We decided that we would meet alternate Mondays, 11 AM-12
noon ET. 2. Roster --------- We went through the roster Action: Kris Eberlein to contact Jana Jenkins and Mariana
Alupului, IBM Action: JoAnn Hackos to contact Rob Hanna (Individual
member) and Valerie Lipow (Lockheed Martin) 3. Discussion of general purpose and role of this SC: ---------------------------------------------------- Gershon: Need to further develop technical communication
specialization. Lots of people developing their own specializations to meet
tech comm needs. JoAnn: Need for experts in technical communication to
critically evaluate proposals brought to the DITA TC from a tech comm
perspective. Kris: Now that DITA is moving beyond technical
communication, we need a SC to look after tech comm interests. DITA started
with tech comm, needs to continue to meet needs of tech comm community.
Potential disconnect between DITA TC and larger community -- to the larger
community, DITA = technical communication. Yet DITA TC is moving on to focus on
publishing, pharmaceuticals, enterprise business documents, etc. Paul: Need to ensure that the modules are maintained
coherently. Seraphim: Many DITA subcommittees are getting increasingly
company-specific, drifting away from original DITA TC vision of open-source
content. 4. Possible items for this subcommittee to address -------------------------------------------------- We discussed command-line interface documentation and
troubleshooting information. Other possible items include: * Quick Reference Guides * Change control * Multimedia solutions Best regards, Kris Kristen
