Re: [dita-fa-edboard] New wiki page: 12013 design


I think the content should be clearer as to its purpose/location (right now no navigational context to show where it's coming from). But is there a problem with hosting toolkit design discussions at dita.xml.org? I know the toolkit team made the move explicitly to make the design discussion more open to community participation, and I think their motives are good. And they're building it in the right part of the wiki, ie in the section devoted to the DITA Open Toolkit.

I'd suggest something like "DITA Open Toolkit Design: Feature xxxx" - plus add a link to the parent topic at the bottom of the page.

Hi, Carol.

I think this page -- and a similar one for 12017 -- will confuse many
readers. Both refer to specific features that will be part of DITA 1.2.

My guess is that the content of http://dita.xml.org/wiki/12013-design is about how the Open Toolkit will need to be modified to support these new features; is there perhaps another more appropriate location for this sort of content than the Wiki pages for dita.xml.org?
