Tools matrix

Hi all,

      

      Apropos to the discussion about assessing features in XLIFF tools,
      what if we were to use something like what OASIS makes available
      at these URLs to solicit tool vendor information?

      

      http://www.oasis-emergency.org/products

      http://dita.xml.org/products

      

      The second one provides an easy way for DITA tools devs to supply
      their information. This would eliminate the need to maintain a
      matrix like Micah supplied in a specific document and it would let
      tools vendors maintain their own information. It would also ensure
      that anyone who accesses the information has the latest version,
      something we can't assure when a document is circulated and people
      may find older copies on the mailing lists. (I don't know if this
      sort of web site could be seeded with what was already collected
      or not, but we could reach out to vendors to have them fill in the
      information there.)

      

      (Thanks to Scott McGrath for making me aware of these pages.)

      

      Best,
