Re: [dita] Naming the big edition
My preference WAS "comprehensive", but having checked
    dictionary.com, I can go with "all-inclusive":

    

    comprehensive

    adjective

    1. of large scope; covering or involving much; inclusive: a
    comprehensive study of world affairs.

    2. comprehending or thoroughly understanding with one's mind; having
    an extensive mental range or grasp, as of a particular subject or
    many subjects.

    3. Insurance. covering or providing broad protection against loss.

    

    all-inclusive

    adjective

    1. including everything; comprehensive.

    

    
Best,

      Kris

      I'm good with 1 and 2. I'll go with 'all-inclusive' for #3 in
      hopes of helping to tip things cleanly in a direction.

Hi everyone,

          
 

          
It is time to make a final decision
            regarding what to call the edition of DITA 1.3 that will
            contain everything. As a reminder, we are aiming to produce
            three "editions" that are proper subsets of each other:

          
 

          
1. Base -- map and topic

          
2. Technical Content -- Base plus all the
            tech comm stuff

          
3. ___?___ -- Technical Content plus
            Learning & Training

          
 

          
If you care about this naming issue,
            speak up now for your favourite among the following names
            that have been suggested and/or casually used to date (sans
            kitchen sink references because we're being all serious
            now):

          
 

          
- All-inclusive

          
- Complete

          
- Comprehensive

          
- Full

          
- Omnibus

          
 

          
(If there was another suggestion that I
            missed, please drop it into the mix.)

          
 

          
Failure to vote will be construed as
            implicit support for what Nancy and I have both agreed is
            our own favourite: "All-inclusive". I.e., if nobody says
            anything, we're going to go ahead and keep the one that we
            are already using as a placeholder in our draft docs!
