Re: [dita-fa-edboard] DITA bloggers

[Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>]

Bob, I would like to see the news aggregator catch highly relevant items
such as this:
http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/ArticleReader.aspx?ArticleID=18107

I got this on a Google Alerts simple case of  "xml dita", which has turned
out to catch most new announcements and articles effectively enough.

I have been browsing your sample page and cannot see the DITA connection on
what I've seen so far.

Regards,

Hi Carol and All,

Thanks for having me on the DITA.xml.org Editorial Board.

A first rough draft of the DITA News aggregator is available at:
http://dita-staging.xml.org/aggregator/categories/4

We need to set up a "cron" to pull feeds on a regular schedule (every 12
hours?) and then the posts will interleave themselves by time.  The page
now shows news feeds in the order I manually added them (last in - first
out so eWeek is at the top).

We will be filtering the feeds on DITA-related keywords, so we need your
suggestions for important terms.

Cheers,

Bob.
