Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] CMS That Claims to Work Exclusively(?) with LwDITA

Carlos: a disclaimer sounds like a good idea.

    

    After looking over the site, I seriously doubt they are using actual
    OASIS-related Lightweight DITA. It seems like they would have no
    reason to bother with it. But there are very few details about how
    the thing actually works. They have some kind of easy web editor,
    and the system integrates with Framemaker. Also they have some kind
    of publishing system that is claimed to be easy to use: "No more
    depending on expensive consultants or need for in-house advanced
    programming skills. You can also upload your own CSS for web and
    print output."

    

    They seem to be focused on parts catalogs for manufacturers. And
    they have zero docs available on their system, that I could find. I
    sent them a message through their site, saying I'm on the lwdita
    subcommittee and asking if they were interested in adding their CMS
    to the lwdita-aware page. I'll report back if I hear anything.

    

    I like the name though: DoX. Most of their client logos look like
    Finnish or scandinavian customers, and maybe the word "dox" doesn't
    have the same connotation over there.

I can ask Jarno if he knows them. I donât see
          much about âLW DITAâ on their site.Â

      

      
How about we add a clause to our tools page saying
        that, unless explicitly stated, inclusion or mention in the page
        does not imply endorsenent from the LwDITA SC?

Just ran across
                  "Dox", which I don't think anyone has brought up
                  before:Âhttp://dox.fi/en/dox-cms/.
                  It is definitely not on the list of LwDITA-aware tools
                  (https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/LightweightDITASubcommittee/lwditatools).

                

                

                
It is a
                  Finnish-based company that claims to use in "LW DITA",
                  though in other places on the website it only
                  references "DITA". Anybody out there know more about
                  this software?
