Hi Carol:
The "community" portion of CM Pros has to do with the idea that people with
a common interest may set up an area for members with a common interest. (It
is members only.)
CM Pros -- Content Management Professionals -- is focused on CM. A
"community" just means that some group of our members wanted to have a CM
Pros area to work on DITA-related stuff. Specifically, the mission of this
DITA community is to take the CM Pros "best practices document" and mark it
up in DITA. You can think of this as a small group project using DITA. We
want to see if we can use DITA in this way and what bridges/mountains we'll
have to span. The project is the focus of this community...kind of an
educational collaboration. Some of the folks in the group know about DITA,
and others don't, so gives a good opportunity for education. It also gives
the CM Pros site an opportunity to practice what it preaches about content
and DITA.
This is *not* as you may fear a community that might overlap with the OASIS
DITA Focus Area.
Hope this explanation helps,
Kay

JoAnn, Kay,
Can you give us more information on this effort? How does it relate to the
XML.org DITA Focus Area? Thanks, Carol

FYI
CM Pros Announces DITA Community
Content Management Professionals (CM Pros) has announced the formation of a
DITA Community. The community will provide a much-needed technical resource
for members seeking to learn more about XML authoring and editing and the
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). Committee members JoAnn
Hackos, Bill Trippe, Kay Ethier, Scott Abel, and Bob Doyle are leading the
newly-formed community and are hoping to draw interest from others
interested in participating.
