Hey there Kris:

        

        

        
One thing that a few
          members from DITA Adoption have expressed interest in is
          expanding upon the example code provided within the DITA 1.3
          specification, with an aim to making the examples in general
          more robust for the DITA 2.0 specification. "Better code
          samples" is a common refrain that emerges from the DITA
          Listening Sessions. 

        

        

        
What we are wondering
          about is the demarcation between the work done between the two
          groups on sample code. I know that we can take the existing
          DITA 1.3 code examples and expand upon them now, and call it a
          DITA Adoption initiative with no implicit approval from the
          DITA TC. But when it comes to DITA 2.0, it would be useful if
          we could coordinate our efforts in this area. Is this feasible
          from a DITA 2.0 specification perspective?

        
In other words, is it
          possible to "freeze" a version of sample code as represented
          within the spec, which can then continue to be worked on? 

        

        

        
Let me know your
          thoughts on this idea. Cheers!
