| - | Related to a DITA-enabled wiki, '<a href="http://blogs.sun.com/coolstuff/entry/wikis_docs_and_the_reuse">Wikis, Docs, and the Reuse Proposition</a>' by Eric Armstrong of Sun explores the possibility of implementing DITA features using a combination of JavaScript and CSS. He suspects it can be done most easily using a Ruby-based Wiki like MediaCloth.

| - | Related to DITA as an output, Lombardi has developed a system in which a mix of "warrantied" content is continuously updated from the DITA source while retaining "unwarrantied" community contributions. This system is described on <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/lisa.dyer/lombardi-wikis-model" target="_blank">SlideShare</a>.

| - | The model is enabled by a DITA2Confluence import tool developed by Lombardi. Lombardi has donated this tool to the open-source<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita2wiki/" target="_blank"> DITA2Wiki project</a>.
