Subject: [dita] May I edit our CM Pros DITA Community page?
Message-ID: <249236610708061159p5e804d56l88c668e46849c5cc@mail.gmail.com>
Hi Scott,
We have made a lot of progress recently with the objectives set for the CM
Pros DITA Community a couple of years ago.
http://www.cmprofessionals.org/communities/topical/dita
Our statement of purpose was:
To encourage structured authoring in the wider CM Pros community in general
and on the CM Pros website in particular. This community will provide a
technical resource for members who want to learn XML authoring and editing,
specifically using the new DITA XML initiative from OASIS.
I think we have accomplished that and now want to tell CM Pros about a
discounted membership in DITA Users - where we help members get started with
topic-based structured writing using a web-based editor, the Open Toolkit on
the server, and a personal workspace folder on the web.
http://www.ditausers.org.
We thought we would start by updating our DITA Community page. Have the
tools been put in place to allow members to edit pages as we used to do?
I am copying the other steering committee members.
Thanks,
Bob.

FYI, there are five other websites in our network of DITA support sites,
each one optimized for a specific community collaboration function:
*DITA Infocenter* - the DITA architectural and language specifications, and
the OT User Guide, in an Eclipse Help format.
ditainfocenter.com
*DITA News* - a blog aggregator, a mailing list, and a newsletter on DITA.
ditanews.com
*DITA Blog* - a group blog for DITA information developers (based on
WordPress).
ditablog.com
*DITA Wiki* - resources in a format that encourages comments and discussions
(based on MediaWiki).
ditawiki.org
and a couple of other sites to come soon, including
*DITA Tutor* - a set of self-paced and instructor-led DITA Tutorials (based
on a Moodle LMS)
ditatutor.com
Cheers,
Bob.
