Well, hell, Carol. We can reopen the decision. Got any good ideas?
I'm afraid I assumed that you would not want to change the name.
Best,
Kris

I must admit, I'm kind of disappointed you decided
against a new name for the site. Now seems like the perfect
time.
Also, it would be great to have a new site logo that
incorporates the bird.
Ah well, it's up to y'all.

DITA Adoption FASC Meeting

Present: Don Day, Keith Schengili-Roberts,
Kris Eberlein
Absent: Mark Poston
Gave Kris a "tour" of the existing MindMap / draft
taxonomic hierarchy for the website. Along the way she
made some excellent point that we need descriptions
for most/all of the nodes, so that people are clear
what the labels/metadata will mean in context.
Other discussions:
- suggested that when a version of the new website is
launched that those who have product- or
service-related content on the existing website should
have a deadline to migrate their own content
- need for guidelines for content we want to have on
the new website, including:
- key message: website is here to promote DITA (not
other, competing methodologies)
- content is filtered by DITA thought leaders
- dita.xml.org
this is somewhere you can go for curated, accurate,
good content on DITA
Discussion on possibly re-branding dita.xml.org:
- Kris made the good comment that we should
concentrate on rebranding the user experience rather
than the name
- existing tagline is good
- logo (and colour scheme) could do with some work
("lacks nuance")
- in the end, it was agreed that changing the name
of dita.xml.org
was not a high priority
Action items:
- Comment/describe definitions for hierarchy nodes
- Kris to send to all her previous research on dita.xml.org website
- Kris to re-examine existing website and derive
Subject Scheme for Products and Services
