Re: [dita] Another clip from the draft press release

Depends on what you mean by "managing"--certainly the indirect addressing features and the architectural principle of "no magic" mean that DITA Is inherently manageable without special tooling. On other hand most readers probably won't understand "managing" in that way.

I would like to see Publishing reflected in the list but I'm not sure how characterize it in the context of the list given, maybe "professionally published books and magazines,"?

Cheers,

E.

Subject: [dita] Another clip from the draft press release

" DITA defines an XML architecture for designing, writing, managing, and publishing many kinds of information in print and on the Web. DITA is widely used for books, technical manuals, help files, training, and multimedia authoring because of its modular, topic-based approach and its ability to support content reuse."


Not my wording -- but I think we should suggest removing the verb "managing" ...


Also, do we want to suggest other things that DITA is widely used for?
