Re: [dita-fa-edboard] DITA Maturity Model link snafu

["Bob Doyle" <bobdoyle@skybuilders.com>]

Hi Carol,

Following your recommendation, I added a See also with the DITA
Maturity Model Q&A to the Introduction page.
http://dita.xml.org/wiki/introduction-to-the-maturity-model

And I removed the Q&A from the KB page (where the link worked only part time).

If Michael and Amber object, we can put it back on the KB too.

Cheers,

Bob.

I think we should remove the "DITA Maturity Model Q&A" link from the Wiki KB outline page.
