I like Don's idea of a poll question.

The code section needs some TLC to allow the markup to actually show--in
my
browers, I see long white gaps where the browser is eating the tags and
leaving the whitespace.

A good related poll question might be: Of what importance is reuse to
your
decision whether to use DITA?

As written, the question could apply to either a user or a seeker, and
it
subtly suggests that reuse is in fact a significant reason why others DO
choose DITA.

Thanks to France for providing this article. I've posted the text at
http://dita.xml.org/reuse-strategies, and I'm working with Seth now to
insert
the two graphics. Once that's done, we'll get it posted to the homepage

Do we want to create a new Forum around this <soapbox>, and if so, what
should
it be called?

How about a related poll question?

Thanks,
Carol

Here is the article, in Word format.

Should it be reviewed by the TC before it is put online? What is the
procedure
to add it to the web page?

And big thanks to JoAnn for doing a very useful first editing round!!!

France

France,
We can certainly include images. Let me know when you're ready to post
the
article, and I'll make sure there are no glitches.

HI France,
Great! I think we want to run Bruce's article for two months. It started
the 1st of January. That means running yours beginning in March. I'm
sure they can figure out how to accommodate some images but I'm
forwarding this to the editorial board for comments from Carol et al.

Hi JoAnn,

I believe I can address the subject of map vs conditions based on what I
have in this presentation...

Two questions:
 * When do you need it?
 * Can I include images in the article?

Hi France,
We had a meeting of the editorial board for dita.xml.org

We are currently running Bruce Esrig's article on why specialization on
the home page "soapbox."  We're interested in an article from you for
the next soapbox, based on your slide presentation on content
repurposing. We are trying to make the article stimulating and
provocative. The idea is to discuss the idea of "when to use conditions"
and when to create a "new map."

Let me know if you're interesting in doing something on this topic. Look
at Bruce's article for an idea of length.  http://dita.xml.org

Thanks for your help,
JoAnn
