I *love* it. Michael, you missed your calling as a
marketeer.
I'm concerned about fitting it all into that little
box, though. We may have to revise. I'll have Andrey work up a few
layouts.

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
