At yesterday's subcommittee meeting, I suggested that the subcommittee author a committee note about Lightweight DITA. I think such a committee note could include the following:

Rationale for Lightweight DITA

Content model for Lightweight DITA

Element set

New elements added

New attributes added

Specialization model

Supported or sponsored tooling

I think such a committee note would be critical for the following reasons:.

So far there is NO material published by the DITA TC. The only materials published on Lightweight DITA are blog pieces, Webinars, and conference presentations by SC members.

It would ensure that what is being proposed by the subcommittee is clearly understood and supported by the main TC.

I also suggested that it was time for the subcommittee to develop a strawman schedule of what they plan to develop and deliver in the next year.
