What does DITA mean to you?
SO, I realize, it has been over a month since WritersUA, and still, no really helpful posts about what-it-is and how-to-use-it for Help 3.0, but, this is only because there have been a few MORE changes that are being finalized. In just a couple more weeks we'll be free to share all the fun details with you....it is all good, though, so don't worry too much!
BUT, in the meantime, whilst the team toils away on this release, I've got my mind a bit further out - on 3.1 to be exact. Yes, THE 3.1 release, the one that we expect to support all ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) on Windows. The BIG one. So, one of the things I'm looking at is the various connections between authoring tools and publishing pipelines and the point where the content gets on the box, where Help 3.0 actually sits.
One topic I hear coming up again and again is - what does this mean for DITA (http://dita.xml.org/book/dita-wiki-knowledgebase)? Well, from the little research I have done, I think that DITA and Help 3 are fundamentally compatible.
What I want to hear from you all, though, is, what does DITA mean to you? Take the question for whatever it is to you - post a comment or e-mail me directly.
Thanks!!
