Proposed charter for Technical Communication Subcommittee

Hi 
all,

 

Here is the charter 
for the proposed Technical Communication subcommittee of the DITA 
TC:

 

While DITA was 
originally designed as an architecture for technical documentation, it has grown 
into a solution for much more than that. Today, DITA supports a growing set of 
industries and vertical markets via subcommittees that are responsible for their 
specializations. As a result, the technical communication specializations, 
including bookmap and the concept, reference, task, and glossary topic types, 
have been moved out of the base DITA package into a new "tech comm" package. The 
purpose of the Technical Communication Subcommittee is to take ownership of the 
"tech comm" specializations, driving new developments for technical 
communication and providing ongoing maintenance of the existing 
specializations.

 

Proposed chairs: 
Gershon Joseph and JoAnn Hackos
Proposed members:
- one technical writer 
from Cisco
- at least one technical writer from IBM (I have a list of 3 
interested folks)
- at least 2 additional representatives from 2 companies 
JoAnn is following up on

 

Please review the 
charter in preparation for discussion and subsequent approval of the 
subcommittee at a future TC meeting.

 

Gershon
