Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] (Not so) silly question about acronym
I admit that I use "lwd-" as a concise, namespace prefix for many
      of my test materials and folders, and I've been the person using
      LwD as finger-saving acronym in my communications. I could see
      using LW-DITA in more formal OASIS versions down the road, but
      that is still too many keystrokes for chats and notes for now, in
      my opinion. I see it as a development vs branding issue.

      Dear Lightweight DITA SC people,
      

      

      
As I work on my current writing project (which is,
        surprise, about Lightweight DITA), I wonder if we have an
        “official” acronym. Some of us use LwD, and others do LW-DITA.
        We also had, briefly, hopes on FINCH, but that puppy died
        shortly after the DITA NA conference in Chicago last year.

      
So… is there an official acronym? Do we need one?

      

      

      
Best,
