I agree. I think Mary and I should take an action item to
draft a statement we can post that will encourage and define appropriate Focus
Area collaboration. Anyone else who'd like to participate in the wordsmithing,
let me know.

I won't be able to make tomorrow's call.
I agree that actual work on the spec needs to be done
through the TC. But there is a lot of collaboration that takes place
leading up to a proposal. It seems that the FA is the right place to do
that. Once an idea reaches the formal proposal stage discussion and
development of the idea can shift to the TC.
Thanks,

We need to be careful on this, as collaborations on the
spec itself should be conducted through the OASIS DITA TC. Hopefully, we can use
the Focus Area to encourage new membership and greater participation in the work
of the TC. Perhaps we should publish a statement about what kinds of
collaboration are appropriate for the FA and what kinds should be advanced
within the TC so there's no confusion.
Let's discuss this with Mary McRae on tomorrow's call.
(Mary's off sick today.)

I remember
discussing the issue of how we will encourage people to collaborate on ideas and
proposals for enhancing the DITA spec, but I don't remember how we resolved
it. There's nothing obvious in the current navigation.
Can someone refresh
my memory? Is there any reason why "DITA Enhancements" should not be a
heading under DITA Community?
Thanks,
Jerry
