ARM's investigation of DITA adoption benefits

Stuart;

 

I'd 
be happy to make the introductions. First, I've cc'd the chair of the DITA 
Technical Committee, Don Day of IBM, as he may have some good pointers for 
building the basic "DITA business case", as well as providing some information 
on moving from something like DocBook to DITA. Second, I've cc'd the 
Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee (SIDSC) mail list so that all 
members are now aware of your interest in understanding the specifics of 
DITA-based information interoperability across the semiconductor 
industry.

 

I'll 
leave it up to them to contact you via email.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,

 

thanks very much for your time yesterday, it was very 
useful for me.

 

As you probably gathered from what we have already 
implemented (source control, strict DTD based on docbook, Infocenter delivery 
etc), and what we are in the middle of implementing (autogeneration from IP-XACT 
code) we are very interested in what you are trying to do under the DITA 
umbrella.

 

I think your explanation of Freescale's postion was 
extremely useful. In order to gain greater understanding of the business 
case for ARM's involvement, do you you think it would be possible for me to 
speak directly with with the other members of the DITA 
sub-committee?

 

Naturally, I would not expect you to forward thier email 
addresses to me, but I would appreciate it if you could forward my email to them 
so that they can contact me directly if they want to.

 

Thanks again

 

Stuart
