Subject: Re: [dita] DITA users want more (and better) examples
I had a look through the notes made from the various DITA Listening Sessions in the past and found this nice summary of user comments relating to relating to the DITA specification in general:
As you can see, the most common refrain from the DITA users we have spoken to is that they are seeking better examples within the specification (and it is clear that people have been turning to the specification for this type of information).
There were also comments across a few of the DITA Listening Sessions that some of the code examples that are out there (such as Thunderbird, oXygen's docs and Eliot's DITA 4 Publishers examples), were very useful as a supplementary source. So people want better, more realistic, examples in the specification, while knowing that there are other resources that are also available.
I have passed along your more specific questions to the people who are running the next DITA Listening Session tomorrow, so we ought to have some answers prior to the next meeting.
Cheers! -

Do we have any idea what DITA users mean when they say "We want more and better examples"? Before we try and jump to a solution, I think it would be helpful to define the problem. I think the example issue might be multi-faceted and encompass a very wide range of of items:
Let's also not forget that many users do not look at the spec at all ... --
