DITA user groups and special interest groups are encouraged to host their web pages on DITA XML.org. Use this site to organize and encourage participation, post your charter, create information pages on your activities, promote upcoming meetings, upload files, and collaborate on documents.

Please contact OASIS Communications with any questions or concerns.
