Re: [dita] Reminder: Draft LwDITA spec needed for tomorrow TC call
Robert and his entire family have the flu. And he'd probably be
the first person to point you to me or Bob Thomas, if you are
trying to build with the OASIS-branded plug-ins.
I'll be happy to help you with building. I've handled the builds
since DITA 1.2.
Best,
Kris

Thank you. A to do item for next week is to
schedule a spec building tutorial with Robert. That was an
agenda item from the last LwDITA SC call.Â

Best that I could get. I'm a little confused by the
lack of functional maps -- I built a map and included
element-reference, attribute, and conformance topics. I
could not find architectural spec topics ...

Hi Kris,
We donât have a functional map there.
You can explore and try to build something.Â
Thank you,

Reminder -- The TC needs a copy of the
current LwDITA spec draft for the meeting
tomorrow. PDF is fine, and no need for OASIS
styling.
I'll build from the GitHub repo tomorrow
morning, if needed.

'm happy to discuss fast-tracking the
LwDITA spec; I've been trying to do so since
2016 or earlier, beginning with insisting
that the subcommittee issue the committee
note.
Two things:
It would be helpful for the TC to see
the current state of the LwDITA spec. We
understand that it is a draft document. I
can create a PDF from the content in the
LwDITA repo, if needed.
The LwDITA spec editors need to
understand the reality of the spec
approval timeline. The LwDITA spec needs
to be approved by the TC and then
sent through the OASIS process. After TC
approval, there is a minimum of six
months for the OASIS process,
assuming NO need to modify the spec
draft in any way. See https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/50807/Planning-DITA-1.3.pdf
for more information.
Please look at the PDF referenced above in
order to understand the OASIS processes and
the time frame that they impose.
Best,
Kris

Colleagues,
I would like to tee up a discussion about
Lightweight DITA spec development for
Tuesday's DITA TC meeting.
Adobe gave a demo of their Lightweight DITA
support to a small group last Tuesday. What
they showed was very encouraging ... support
for XDITA authoring in the current release
of Adobe FrameMaker, HDITA (LwDITA expressed
in HTML5) in RoboHelp, and Lightweight DITA
support in Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe's
enterprise web CMS. Adobe is also deploying
an internal workflow based on MDITA for
customer-facing content. They used the
Lightweight DITA Committee Note as the basis
for their implementations.
Carlos and I have asked Kris to open a
dialog about tactics for fast-tracking the
Lightweight DITA specification. We have
increasing vendor support and adopter
momentum, and fear that publishing a
Lightweight DITA spec in 2020 or 2021 would
risk irrelevance.
Of course, Lightweight DITA must be
compatible with DITA, and the DITA 2.0
specification is clearly on a different
timetable. We trust this can be acknowledged
and accommodated, without delaying the
Lightweight DITA specification while DITA
2.0 spec development progresses.
Carlos, Michael, and I (LwDITA spec editors)
look forward to this discussion.
-Alan
