OASIS members are asked to review and comment on a draft charter to establish the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) Adoption Committee. The group intends to raise awareness of the benefits offered by DITA, increase the demand for, and availability of, DITA-conforming products and services, and expand the DITA community of users, suppliers, and consultants. Proposers include representatives of OASIS Foundational Sponsor, IBM, and Sponsor members, Comtech Services, Oracle, and others. JoAnn Hackos, Ph.D., of Comtech serves as the convenor. The comment period closes 17 Jun.

Proposal for New <context-help> Element
Blog entry: Submitted by tself on Thu, 2008-06-05 11:52.
The DITA Help Subcommittee is discussing a proposal to create a new <help-context> element to hold metadata required for context-sensitive Help. The proposal would see the new element fit under the <topicmeta> element in the ditamap, and/or in the <prolog> element in the topic. The element would hold context numbers and/or context strings, and/or a reference to a window description. (There would need to be a separate element in the ditamap that would store the characteristics of a window named in the context-help element.)

Partslist
Forum topic: Submitted by Henk Rutten on Tue, 2008-06-03 20:16. Last updated on Tue, 2008-06-03 20:20.
We are trying to transform the current XML of our manuals to the DITA structure.
In our documentation we use a so called 'spare parts list', in which each part that can be used in a machine, has a number and a description.
Our manauls for several machines contain some of the parts which are declared in the above mentioned parts list.
In our current XML of the manual, we refer to the parts, declared in the 'spare parts list'.
How can we implement this in a DITA structure?
