Providing a DITA OT plug-in for specs available to other OASIS users
Robert has finished a first round of work on the plug-in (thanks, Robert!), and so I’ve started a conversation with Robin Cover about how best to make the plug-in available.
Since it will need documentation providing information about how to set up the plug-in up and configure a bookmap to hold the requisite publication information, it does involve a TC work artifact, which would be the new non-standards work-track item – a committee note.
Here are what our options appear to be:
1. Apply to the TC Admin for requisite metadata, produce the document per whatever “template,” label the document as a working draft , and give it to the TC Admin who will make it available from http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/
2. Apply to the TC Admin for requisite metadata, produce the document per whatever “template,” go through the formal review process to approve the document as a TC work product
.
3. Make the plug-in and documentation available from another venue , for example, Sourceforge or dita.xml.org.
I think that the TC will need to consider the pros and cons of each approach and decide how it wants to move forward with this item.
I’ll send another e-mail to the list explaining the OASIS processes that the TC would need to follow for options 1 or
