Subject: RE: [dita] Acknowledgments in the DITA 1.2 spec -- what should they contain?


I will follow the OASIS wording and compile a list from which members may
opt out by request. That seems straightforward and efficient.

After looking more into this issue after today's meeting, I think our focus
may have been a little off.

Ideally the "list of people who participated in the development of the
specification" should include all members of the TC.

It's not a question of acknowledging the level of individual effort. It's a
question of documenting the broad industry consensus behind the
specification.

That being said, some dissident members who don't want to quit the
committee, but don't agree with signification portions of the spec, may
want their names left off. I'm not sure if that's the reason why, but
apparently Paul doesn't want to be listed.

To me, it seems the safest procedure would be for Don as chair or his
representative to send an email to each member individually, asking them to
confirm whether they want their name included, or not - and to follow up
until he gets a definite answer from each member.

As for individual effort, if the committee wishes to establish different
levels of contribution - Project Manager, Author, Editor, Participant, say
- with clear criteria we all agree on as to who gets included in each
category - I myself would not be averse to that.

An open review comment concerns whom we list as contributing to the DITA
1.2 spec. See http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/AboutThe3#Acknowledgements
for the discussion.
