DITAStatement of PurposeTo 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.Steering CommitteeThe DITA community exists to provide guidance to the content authors who have an interest in DITA (The Darwin Information Typing Architecture)JoAnn Hackos | JoAnn.Hackos[at]Comtech-Serv.com Bill Trippe | btrippe[at]nmpub.com Kay Ethier | kethier[at]travelthepath.com Steve Manning | manning[at]rockley.com Bob Doyle | editor[at]cmsreview.com (tech support) MembersRahel Anne Bailie | rabailie[at]intentionaldesign.caAnna van Raaphorst | avanraaphorst[at]att.net Erik Hartman | erik[at]hartman-communicatie.nl Julie Norris | jn[at]seanet.com Kathy Henry | v-khenry[at]microsoft.com Nenad Furtula | nenadf[at]bluestream.com Scope of WorkWe will develop a structure for reporting of best practices that will be used to describe CM Pros research into several already identified best practice areas. The hope is that this work will find application beyond the CM Pros community of practice. Therefore this community will work closely with DITA users who are not presently members of CM Pros, and with the OASIS Technical Committee for DITA, to share the design effort, with the hope that both the Design Patterns and the Best Practices structures will find the widest possible applications.
