Subject: Re: [dita] Potential new DITA interest area
Forwarding to the list since I noticed that my response went only to Robert ... From: Kristen Eberlein Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 12:25 PM To: 'Robert D Anderson' Subject: RE: [dita] Potential new DITA interest area I think this would be a great idea; I've been asked several times over the past week about DITA specializations to work with .NET APIs. I don't have bandwidth to be involved with another subcommittee, but will forward this e-mail chain to folks I've been talking to. Additionally, I can see if I can get a sense of how frequently Trisoft customers have built plug-ins to work with APIs.

These specializations have been released through the DITA Open Toolkit, as a core set of generic API document types, along with more specialized types specifically for Java. Nokia recently released an additional set of specializations for C++ based on the same core set of API modules, and I've gotten a lot of queries about extending them for other languages. Is there interest from anybody else on the TC in making these document types a little more formal? For example, we could start up something like a "DITA for Programmers" subcommittee that at least works on the core API Document types, and potentially the extensions into some language specific modules. Eventually, I would hope that any approved API modules like this could be released as independent packages - that is, I would not expect them to be part of the eventual DITA 1.3 specification itself.
