As we discussed, Drupal associates blogs with user names. We are not aware of a simple way to give blogs their own names. We've
added that feature-request to our post-launch to-do's for IT.
As a temporary workaround, could you use your blog title in the title of each posting you do, e.g. the title of your first posting
could be "TopicsRUs: DITA Is Hot" and the next post could be "TopicsRUs: DITA Is Very Hot" and the next "TopicsRUs: DITA Is Burning
Up"? The title will appear in the right column, so if you incorporate your blog title in all your post titles, it should show up,
no?

Carol, Where is the spreadsheet? I don't see it.
I really like all these suggestions for seeding the focus discussions. I think the spec and the language ref would be great starter
content. We could definitely ask people to submit example code blocks. Adding comments would be fine for the KB pages. I'd like to
see what someone might suggest for the list of topic-based authoring books that I just added.
Carol, Can you get my blog renamed? How about TopicsRUs by JoAnn Hackos or is that too silly?
JoAnn

WRT Bruce's message, I did turn Drupal's comment feature back on, so at the bottom of every page, there's an "add comment" link.
Editorial Board members could periodically review any comments posted and make decisions about incorporating them into the main text
of the page.
I've added instructions on this at http://dita.xml.org/knowledge-base. Note we have a spreadsheet attached to this page. Do we need
to keep this there post-launch?
Note also that I've edited the footer for the site. Now we have links to the KB, Today, and Wiki overview pages with instructions
for adding content to each. Please let me know if you think this works.
WRT Michael's message, I'll have to check with Mary McRae.

Along these lines, I was thinking of defining shadow pages for some of the architecture pages, so that people could comment, and
then the comments could be edited into the architecture pages.
This would help a lot with keeping up with abstracts of articles, for example.

It just occurred to me that one way to kickstart/focus discussion in the community area would be to provide the existing
DITA 1.0 spec as a set of starter topics, which people can then comment on, respond to, etc. - effectively letting the community
annotate the spec.
How hard would this be, and would it be ok/appropriate from an OASIS point of view? I'm not suggesting this as a prereq for
launch, but thinking it could be a useful follow-on activity.
