Please prepare for next DITA XML.or call!

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

Our next EdBoard call is on Thursday, 13 Sept, at 2:00 EST. (We meet on the
second Thursday of the month.)

Before that call, please take a moment to review the message I sent out after
last month's meeting (below).

-Are we happy with the ToC at http://dita.xml.org/wiki? If not, please edit it.

-Are there pages in the Knowledge base that we don't want to let others edit
wiki-style? If you are the author of one of these pages, please follow
instruction #1 below *before* our next call.

-Are there pages in the Knowledge base that fit logically in the new wiki ToC?
If so, let's be prepared to discuss where they should go (and move them) on our
next call.

-Are there pages in the Knowledge base that don't fit logically in the Toc? If
so, how do we edit the ToC to include them?

It would be great if we could complete an integration of the KB and Wiki
sections on our next call.

I've also asked Jamie Clark to join the call and address issues regarding
posting the DITA spec for comments on XML.org.

Thanks,
Carol

Subject: [dita-fa-edboard] New ToC up on DITA XML.org wiki

I've added Su-Laine's ToC to http://dita.xml.org/wiki.  (The old wiki
links are still on that page, just scroll down.) I've created new placeholder
pages for each of the areas Su-Laine identified. (Drupal is adding a "?" in the
URL paths; I'll have Neil check into that.)

Hopefully, we can begin to edit that ToC now. Freelinking is working, so
You can create links to new pages by using the double brackets.

We can also begin to integrate the KB pages:

1. Authors should first identify pages they do *not* want to integrate
into the wiki, i.e., pages you created that you don't want others to edit. I
Would suggest most of these should be re-submitted in the Resources directory
As articles. To do that, copy the text and submit it using the form at
http://dita.xml.org/node/add/resource. You can link to your article from the
appropriate Wiki page if you like.

2. We'll probably want to move some KB pages intact into Su-Laine's existing
Wiki outline. (For example, the oasis-tc page should probably be a new page
under "Official stuff".) For other KB pages, we may want to copy and
Paste portions of text into the existing new Wiki pages.

Please let me know if you experience any problems.
