> "DITA at Work", with Forums for "DITA for Marketing" "DITA for
Training" "DITA for Development".
This overlaps a little bit with specialization. How about a Forum container
"Applications of DITA" with forums on
"DITA for documentation"
"DITA for training"
"DITA for subject matter experts"
"DITA for sales and marketing"
"DITA and electronic delivery"
I don't know how to separate user-level discussion (subjects and content) from language-level discussion (specialization), but it might be better if we allow both kinds of discussion in each individual forum. There might not be that much high-tech discussion of specializations, and people would know to look at the threads that make sense to them. Allowing both types of discussion in each forum would keep people with similar issues together, and permit cross-fertilization across levels of expertise with language and application issues.
Best wishes,
Bruce

I've added an "Other DITA Tools" forum. Please take a look and see if this makes
sense.
Is the forum container "Using DITA" too broad? If there's a logical way to break
up and re-categorize all the forums under "Using DITA", please let me know.
Using the FA to market to other groups is a great idea. We could create a Forum
container, "DITA at Work", with Forums for "DITA for Marketing" "DITA for
Training" "DITA for Development". Would that make sense?
We could try to add categories to our Case Studies page.
We could use our User Groups page to try to encourage the formation of Special
Interest Groups around specific industries--but we'd need volunteers to
spearhead those kinds of activities.
We could run a poll along the lines of "What is/may be your primary use for
DITA? -documentation, -marketing, -training, -development..."
Other ideas?

I would also add a container for discussion on other tools such as CMS and
commercial publishing tools.
Don and I were talking this week also about how we can market to other
groups/departments/domains. Is there some way we can leverage the DITA focus
area to provide some possible solutions/scenarios to groups other than technical
writing or at least on how to integrate different groups with technical writing
through DITA (i.e., marketing, training, development, etc.) or is this jumping
the gun?

Subject: [dita-fa-edboard] DITA Focus Area Forums
DITA FA Editorial Board:
I'm happy to report we have the dita-users Yahoo! Group feed posted on the
staging site (http://dita-staging.xml.org/forum). Links to the most recent five
posts are displayed in the right nav.
As Don says, we don't want to confuse or detract from the dita-users group, but
I do think we need to encourage the use of the Focus Area's Forums as a
reference for common issues. To that end, I've drafted the following topics that
might serve as useful Forum containers. Please review and send me your comments.
As someone mentioned on this week's call, when we see a particularly useful post
on dita-users list, we could ask that person to repost on the applicable FA
Forum.
Proposed Forum containers:
Specializations
For support and collaboration on creating DITA Specializations
Editor Implementations
For discussing experiences using DITA editors
Toolkit Issues
For help in using the DITA Toolkit
Installation Issues
For questions related to installing DITA
Post Installation Support
DITA is up and running, now how do I...?
Paid DITA Support
Job postings, consulting contracts, RFPs...
Translations
For volunteers interested in translating the DITA spec into other languages
Feedback on this Site
For questions on how to use this web site, bug reports, requests for support
from OASIS technical staff
Note: Please send your feedback to me via email and don't post anything directly
to the staging site at this point. We don't want it to be out-of-sync with the
public site.
Thanks,
Carol
