RE: [dita-fa-edboard] Suggestion for DITA sample files repository

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

I agree, this would be great to do on dita.xml.org. I have a meeting with our
IT guys this afternoon to talk about the logistics.

From our standpoint, there wouldn't be total file space limitations, but we do
have a set upload size  limits of 32MB. Would that be sufficient?

What kind of interface would we need? Right now, users can attach files to
pages. Would that work or should we investigate using a special Drupal module
to provide a more familiar file management interface?

I have recently received this request also, from someone I was explaining 
DITA to.

It would be great if we had downloadable sets, each containing both source 
and output files.

http://dita.xml.org seems like a good place to host them.
