Re: [dita] Naming the big edition

["Don R. Day" <donday@donrday.com>]

I'm good with 1 and 2. I'll go with 'all-inclusive' for #3 in hopes of helping to tip things cleanly in a direction.

Hi everyone,

 

It is time to make a final decision regarding what to call the edition of DITA 1.3 that will contain everything. As a reminder, we are aiming to produce three "editions" that are proper subsets of each other:

 

1. Base -- map and topic

2. Technical Content -- Base plus all the tech comm stuff

3. ___?___ -- Technical Content plus Learning & Training

 

If you care about this naming issue, speak up now for your favourite among the following names that have been suggested and/or casually used to date (sans kitchen sink references because we're being all serious now):

 

- All-inclusive

- Complete

- Comprehensive

- Full

- Omnibus

 

(If there was another suggestion that I missed, please drop it into the mix.)

 

Failure to vote will be construed as implicit support for what Nancy and I have both agreed is our own favourite: "All-inclusive". I.e., if nobody says anything, we're going to go ahead and keep the one that we are already using as a placeholder in our draft docs!
