RE: [dita-fa-edboard] Creating new polls

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

Bob,
I'm glad you were able to add the poll.

The right column of all pages features the current poll question/options and a
link to "older polls". Older polls and their results are archived at
http://dita.xml.org/poll. Older polls remain open, and people can continue to
vote.

I think it would be confusing to have more than one poll in the right nav at
any time, don't you?

Carol

Hi Carol,

I followed your instructions and created a poll with Don's questions.

I was a bit surprised that it just replaced the poll on the home page.
Apparently only one poll is possible?

That's poor behavior on my CMS, where we have any number of surveys/quizzes,
etc.  I always archive old content and carefully schedule new content,
especially to the home page. 

Hope I didn't hurt anything.

Bob.

	Hi there,

or 
	does someone else do that?
	Thanks, A

	Well, to perhaps get more of a sense of usage practices out there, how
	about:
	
	How are you most likely to use keyword markup in your DITA maps and
	topics?
	
	* as metadata in the prolog
	* as semantically-tagged inline content
	* as specialized keywords for inline content
	* just rely on index terms

	Amber,
	I'm not hearing objections from anyone about the article. I've enclosed
	the last edited version here. You should post to the site as Carol 
	suggests so that your name is associated with the article.
	
	Any ideas about a poll question?
	Are you confused about how to use the DITA elements associated with
	keyword?
	A lot
	Some
	A little
	
	Fairly lame but it's a start for everyone else to think.
	
	I would like a new Forum for discussions: What about Showcase Forum?

	Is Amber back? If so, she should post the final article to the site
	(that way,
	it will be associated with her name and she'll be able to edit it if
	needed)
	and send me the link. If not, just email me the final version, and I'll

	post
	it.
	
	I'll also need a multiple choice poll question and optional answers.
	
	If we want to create a new Forum for discussions on this topic, please
	let me
	know what it should be called.
	
	Once we have all that created, Amber (or someone from the Editorial
	Board)
	should post a message to the yahoo list directing people to the article
	and
	active discussion.
	
	Thanks,
	Carol
