Hi Folks,
Just a brief note on our decisions at the
meeting last week.
In attendance: Michael, Bruce, Greg, Don,
Carol, Jerry, JoAnn, Jen, Mary, and Eric
We should each go to the dita.xml.org website
and check-in to create a new account with name and password. At present, that
will give us full authoring privileges on the site.
We assigned people to particular pages --
Jerry will send out the list of who is assigned to what since he took those
notes on line.
We decided that each editor write a first
draft of a page description for his or her page and submit it to the Editorial
Board for review. As you write your page description, which will appear on the
home page for that community area (wiki), consider what you would consider valid
input from the community. What would we expect and accept for the wiki
area?
We also discussed the following:
1) Determine the workflow for the site and
assign definitions to the various privileges and Greg outlined for us when he
showed us the site: authenticated (has an account and can comment and vote),
anonymous (search and read only), editorial board (us), and administrator
(OASIS). We need to define how these roles will work.
2) Decide if we want to move the Yahoo user
groups to this site. Yes, we do. We need to find out if Drupal can handle a
mailing list and a permanent archive. Greg noted that we could use the Forum
feature in Drupal. In a Forum, we can sort the Yahoo emails into different
subject areas. The editorial board can determne the general broad categories for
the subject areas initially. We can also foster interaction between Forum
materials that can then become parts of the "static" area of the site.
See the Drupal Forum at drupal.org as an
example.
3) We learned that Drupal is considering
providing DITA capability to the tool. We could then submit information in DITA.
4) Should we include an Extensions area to the
community. Bruce Esrig recommends adding a subject area on Extensions so that
people could discuss what they believe needs to be added to the model. Once the
discussion grows specific, the Extension would be submitted to the Technical
Committee.
We are planning the next meeting on Thursday
at 2 pm EST.
JoAnn
