Re: [dita] Naming the big edition
I don't know about a chart, but that is exactly the sort of info
that we want to have on the "master" Web page.

Would OASIS allow us to include a simple chart that

But let's remember that we DON'T want most people to
download the "big" edition. The only people who should get
the "big" package are implementers, practitioners, and end
users of learning & training.
Everyone else should use the smallest package that suites
their needs.

Maybe we should call the edition "big" or "over-sized".
Hmm ... Maybe we should name the editions as "small,"
"medium," and "large"?

My preference WAS
"comprehensive", but having checked dictionary.com,
I can go with "all-inclusive":
comprehensive
adjective
1. of large scope; covering or involving much;
inclusive: a comprehensive study of world affairs.
2. comprehending or thoroughly understanding with
one's mind; having an extensive mental range or
grasp, as of a particular subject or many
subjects.
3. Insurance. covering or providing broad
protection against loss.
all-inclusive
adjective
1. including everything; comprehensive.

I'm good with 1 and 2.
I'll go with 'all-inclusive' for #3 in hopes of
helping to tip things cleanly in a direction.

Hi everyone,
It is time to make a
final decision regarding what to call the
edition of DITA 1.3 that will contain
everything. As a reminder, we are aiming
to produce three "editions" that are
proper subsets of each other:
1. Base -- map and
topic
2. Technical Content --
Base plus all the tech comm stuff
3. ___?___ -- Technical
Content plus Learning & Training
If you care about this
naming issue, speak up now for your
favourite among the following names that
have been suggested and/or casually used
to date (sans kitchen sink references
because we're being all serious now):
- All-inclusive
- Complete
- Comprehensive
- Full
- Omnibus
(If there was another
suggestion that I missed, please drop it
into the mix.)
Failure to vote will be
construed as implicit support for what
Nancy and I have both agreed is our own
favourite: "All-inclusive". I.e., if
nobody says anything, we're going to go
ahead and keep the one that we are already
using as a placeholder in our draft docs!
