Great start :)

Nice effort guys. Great to see another Drupal site.

As a long time DITA lurker (but not quite user yet) and Drupal user, I've been entertaining occassional thoughts about possible ways of integrating the two for a while now. It's been a fairly low priority so far, but maybe with some other interested parties, I might be prodded into actual action ;)

Anyway, best of luck with the site and I hope the community really takes off from here.

DITA for wikis

Don Day | Wed, 2006-03-29 06:19
Styro, you might be interested to know that some participants in the drupal dev or interest lists (for example, http://www.puregin.org/node/999) have discussed using DITA as a topic source format in the past.  We've seen something similar done for DocBook (http://doc-book.sourceforge.net/homepage/), so its really just a matter of getting the right heads focused on the task.  Anne Gentle has done a nice writeup about the use of Wikis for authoring documentation and the possible role of DITA in the mix. I think we can get there!

Yep, there were a few mentions of DITA in this thread http://drupal.org/node/29946

Now that I've got some Drupal module development under my belt, I should really go an revisit some of those ideas :)

Dan has some interesting (non DITA) Drupal projects on the go that could end up forming the foundations of a DITA integration effort: http://coders.co.nz/drupal_development/?q= , http://drupal.org/node/40611 and http://drupal.org/node/46008

Once a future Drupal node relationship framework turns up, it should be quite easy to implement all kinds of complex DITA maps in Drupal.

from drupal to dita

At this site we think of getting DITA into Drupal. If we did, it might bring Drupal users to DITA, and that would really be great.
