Actually, we have a very exciting enhancement to the blogs by name page as part
of 5.1. I don't want to spoil the surprise by describing it. You'll have to
wait for the transition--which (fingers crossed) may happen by Monday.

Hi all,

I would like to suggest that we get bloggers to enter their real names in our
blogs by name page.
http://dita.xml.org/siteblogs

Currently it looks like this (it's actually much better than it was a few
months ago): 


*	Alex <http://dita.xml.org/blog/1086> 
*	Bob Doyle <http://dita.xml.org/blog/1008> 
*	bonbayel <http://dita.xml.org/blog/1215> 
*	erikh <http://dita.xml.org/blog/1119> 
*	Getting from here to there -- A DITA journey

[Note: official OASIS eyes averted here]

Please forgive me for mentioning work done outside of OASIS. I know OASIS
disapproves. But I find it odd to cough up $300 a year and then be told that I
need to constrain my contributions to the community. 
 
When we added links to Blogs at DITA.XML.org on the DITA Users > Resources >
News  tab, I did a little detective work and identified everyone - with public
web info. 

See http://www.ditausers.org/resources/news/



Blogs at DITA.XML.ORG <http://dita.xml.org/blog/> .

I think this is so much more community friendly.

What do you think?

Tomorrow I will announce my next new website in support of DITA -
http://www.ditablog.com 

I will be syndicating RSS feeds from all these blogs on the DITA News blog
aggregator, to give them more visibility and search engine weight. One post
here will show up on the web twice!

[End - OASIS eyes averted] 

Cheers,

Bob.
