How about:
DITA:
Use.
Reuse. Specialize. Collaborate.
Modular
content for an integrated world.

Hi
Carol,
I like the overall design but I agree with Scott
that the sponsors
column should be integrated into the page. It
looks like an awkward add
on at present. Just include it in the page area
defined by the boarders.
DITA -- a standard for developing technical
information
My suggestion -- not great.

DITA XML.org Focus Area Editorial Board:
We hope to transition to the new site design early
next week (you may
note some
disruption over the weekend).
The new design (http://dita-staging.xml.org)
features a "Learn more" box
in the
right column that provides an extra link into the
Knowledge Base. The
box
design that's there now is only preliminary. (I know,
the background is
way too
distracting.)
I'd like to create a box with a style similar to
the "The Gilbane
Report...the
most widely read newsletter..." box at
http://lighthouseseminars.com/washingtondc/index.html.
I think it would
help if
we could feature a VERY BRIEF, benefit-oriented
definition of DITA in
this box,
along the order of Gilbane's "The most widely
read newletter covering
content
management technologies."
If you had to provide a compelling statement about
DITA in ten words or
less,
what would it be? I came up with a few options,
but you guys are the
experts,
so I'm open to any other ideas:
<DITA LOGO>
Building content
reuse into the
authoring process
<DITA LOGO>
For content that's
topic-oriented,
information-typed
and re-usable
<DITA LOGO>
The XML-based, end-to-end
architecture for producing
technical information
<rule>
In our Focus Area box, this statement would be
followed by a rule with
"Learn
more" linked to KB.
If we can agree on a meaningful tagline, we could
use it other places,
such as
on the DITA logo gear on cafepress.
Thanks,
Carol
