Subject: RE: Position wording for exploratory documents by DITA TCs and SCs
Hi Don, The OASIS DITA for Enterprise Business Documents Subcommittee acknowledges receipt. We have updated the BusDocs wiki and will be updating subcommittee documents that have been posted to OASIS as soon as practical. Regards, Michael Michael Boses Co-Chair OASIS DITA for Enterprise Business Documents Subcommittee http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/BusDocs -----Original Message----- From: Don Day (LbW) [mailto:donday@learningbywrote.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 1:08 PM To: Steffen Frederiksen; James Averback; JoAnn Hackos; Gershon Joseph (gerjosep); John Hunt; Jang F.M. Graat; Kravogel, Christian; Jonatan Lundin; Michael Boses; Tony Self; Mark Lewis; Ann Rockley Cc: dita@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Position wording for exploratory documents by DITA TCs and SCs This note is for the attention of all DITA TC Subcommittee chairs who might not have been aware of the subject discussion at the DITA TC. Recently, a concern was surfaced about how Subcommittees may most appropriately position or disclaim their technical proposals and other intermediate products, in deference to the DITA TC's normally final say about approved TC products. The DITA TC approved such wording at the Oct 26 meeting. The discussion and consensus wording are represented in this note chain: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201010/msg00126.html The approved disclaimer wording for both TC and Subcommittee intermediate/exploratory products is this: This document reflects exploratory work. It is not a reliable guide on the future direction of DITA. It should not be taken as guidance for using DITA or for developing DITA tools. Hopefully this will help you position your SC's work as necessary to your audiences so that there is no public confusion about the authority of such intermediate products. Of course, those materials then may be later reviewed by and approved by the DITA TC as Committee Notes (or in some cases, as inputs to future Committee Specifications). Subcommittee procedures are ultimately governed by the OASIS TC Process document, http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#subcommittees . This document was updated as of Oct 15, so please review any parts that pertain to SC process and deliverables. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Don Day, Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee
