The marketing devil on my shoulder

kahuna.' I banished him underneath a printout of the PDF of the
big kahuna.

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.

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!
