RE: [dita] Some practical problems related to packaging [which packages holds the DITA source?]

Or include the PDFs and HTML versions of the spec. in all of the
packages and only include the DITA source in the “everything/uber” package.

Seth, I do believe that the motivation for peeling away the base
package has substantial value, namely, providing the simplest possible setup
for implementers to get their feet wet and figure out how it all works before
delving into the daunting complexities.

 

Presenting the training stuff separately also has value, since many
existing and new users will not want to have to wade past a raft of new
elements and attributes that they never use.

 

The problem you identify, Kristen, could best be solved using
simplified topic types in 1.3, intermediate between <topic> and the
current C/T/R types.  For now, we may have to tell them that if they want
to use the sources of the base docs as examples of how it's done, they'll have
to do so in context of the more extensive package that is equivalent to 1.1.

I've
assumed that all packages will include the DITA source files for the
documentation, in addition to the DTDs and documentation.

This presents a problem for the base package, since many (if not all) of the
source files for the base documentation are of type concept and reference.

Thoughts?

I've stayed out of the packaging discussion because I couldnt care
less about how many ways we try to arbitrarily package the resources we create.

 

We've spent a huge amount of time on an issue with little (if any)
return value.

 

Let's deliver one DITA 1.2 package with everything that the TC is
willing to put our name on.
