      Hi Kris and L&T members -
      

      

      Based on the inputs received, the
        consensus
        is to not include the Release Mgt Domain in the default content
        models
        for the L&T topics and maps, and treat as optional in the
        same way
        that the other tech-comm domains are optional.
      

      

      Thanks.
      

      

      John

      Hi All from sunny Germany,
      

      

      I agree with Doug and John, that would be
        consistent with
        the approach for the other domains.
      

      

      Cheers
      

      Mark

      Hello,
      

       
      

      I’m inclined to
        agree with
        John. Let users add the domain if they have a use-case for it. 
      

       
      

      It helps maintain
        the simplicity
        of L&T, (or at least the appearance of it ;-) if adopters
        see a relatively
        uncluttered core implementation.
      

       
      

      Best Regards,

          Subject: [dita-learningspec] Learning content and the
        Release mgt domain
      

       
      

      Dear L&T Sub-committee members and
        list
        - 

      

        DITA 1.3 will include a new "Release management domain," which
        is described in this Stage 3 proposal - https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/50971/13102_Stage3Proposal.pdf.
        

      

        Essentially, this domain is included with the Technical-content
        domain
        elements and provides additional metadata elements (11 by my
        count) for
        tracking content changes, including the person, organization,
        summary of
        the change, and key dates. 

      

        Kris has asked if we want it included or not with the default
        content models
        for the L&T topics. 

      

        My personal take is that since the default L&T content
        models do not
        include the other Tech-content domains, such as programming or
        software
        elements, or the new equation, mathml, and svg domains, that we
        keep the
        Release mgt domain optional as well. This leaves it to the
        implementers
        to decide, based on the content types and mgt systems they use.
        

      

        What do others think?  Please get back to me with your input by
        the
        end of the day this Friday if possible, so we can get back to
        the Kris
        and the TC with a recommendation.  
        

      

        Thanks much in advance! 

      

        John
