Subject: Changing info for an Open OASIS repo
Chet, the changes that Eliot has suggested below don't require working with you, I think.
However, I think we might want to slightly modify the description
and statement of purpose. If we do, does that need to go through
you? Thanks for your help.

Current info for the DITA RNG Convertor
repository
------------------------------------------------------------
Description
The DITA RNG Converter provides cross-platform tools for
generating DITA-conforming DTD- and XSD-format versions of RELAX
NG DITA grammars: document type shells, vocabulary modules, and
constraint modules. It makes it as easy as possible to develop
and maintain DITA grammars by allowing use of RELAX NG syntax.
Statement of Purpose
The repository manages the source code and supporting
documentation for the RELAX NG-to-DTD and RELAX NG-to-XSD (and
any other RNG-to-X transforms that might be developed, such as
RELAX NG-to-EDD or RELAX NG-to-Schematron) transforms developed
originally for use by the DITA TC in producing the DITA 1.3 DTDs
and XSDs from the normative RELAX NG versions of the DITA 1.3
grammar. The converter is intended to make it easy for any DITA
user to develop and maintain their own document type shells,
constraint modules, and vocabulary modules using RELAX NG, which
has proven to be much easier to use than DTD or XSD.
Additions to Statement of Purpose
Tool Overview
This project provides the following transforms from RNG grammars
that follow the coding conventions used by the DITA Technical
Committee for the TC-defined modules and shells:
The transforms are implemented as XSLT transforms and run
through an Ant script. See the project documentation for
details.
The transforms can be run standalone or through an Open Toolkit
plugin. The transforms have no dependency on the DITA Open
Toolkit itself.
You can use these transforms to generate both DITA 1.2 and DITA
1.3 shells and modules: RNG versions of the DITA 1.2 shells and
vocabulary are included in the project (as developed by the DITA
Technical Committee).
NOTE: At some point the OASIS-defined grammars will be
removed from this project and you'll need to get the latest DITA
Open Toolkit distribution in order to minimize the number of
copies of the OASIS-provided grammars.
Development Plan
The code as added 24 March 2016 is still under development and
requires more work to make it ready for general use. The latest
code is on the develop branch.
The current development plan is:
Schedule: Goal is to complete these actions by the end of
December 2016 or as early in 2017 as possible.
Additional implementation goals include:
Please use the project issue tracker to report any bugs or log
feature requests.
Please use the project Wiki for general discussion not related
to specific bugs or features.Development Plan
