- From: john_hunt@us.ibm.com

Dear OASIS DITA TC members,
For the past several months, Mark Lewis (Quark) and John Hunt (IBM) have
been exploring interest and gathering interested parties on the topic of
"DITA for the Web."
We'd like to update the TC on the status of these activities, and bring
forward a proposal to form a "DITA for the Web" sub-committee.
The draft charter below outlines the initial goals and deliverables
for this effort.
We have held three "forming" meetings in August and September
that have drawn considerable interest, including attracting several new
OASIS memberships and several more potential OASIS memberships if the sub-committee
activity goes forward. Attendance
at these meetings has been from six to twelve people, including nine current
OASIS members. An additional ten individuals have expressed interest in
participating in future meetings.
Name of proposed sub-committee: DITA for the Web
Statement of Purpose
1. Provide a public forum for
discussion about the management and delivery of DITA content on the Web
and how DITA relates to other web technologies.
2. Recommend strategies and guidelines to the OASIS DITA Technical
Committee that promote best practices for applying DITA approaches to Web
content.
List of Deliverables:
1. Recommendations to the DITA TC for specification changes or additions
to the DITA standard that enable better support for DITA content on the
Web.
2. Specifications or white papers on
one or more of the above topics related to DITA for the Web.
3. Recommendations to the DITA TC for coordination with other related standards,
such as the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
or microformats.org.
4. A white paper summary of recommendations and best practices guidelines
for use of DITA content on the Web.
Proposed Co-Chairs
Mark Lewis, Quark
John Hunt, IBM
Sincerely,
John Hunt and Mark Lewis
