:)
But let's remember that we DON'T want most people to download the
"big" edition. The only people who should get the "big" package are
implementers, practitioners, and end users of learning &
training.
Everyone else should use the smallest package that suites their
needs.
<Not-serious>
Maybe we should call the edition "big" or "over-sized".
Hmm ... Maybe we should name the editions as "small," "medium," and
"large"?

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!
