Comment 5 Dan Price CLA 2005-08-23 10:04:10 EDT
This enhancement should be reconsidered. Moving topics to DITA will require 
resource to change existing docs to XML DITA format. It will also increase the 
complexity and resource required to produce docs by adding a "transform" step. 
Also, I have yet to see a project at IBM where we have cashed in on the 
promised benefits of XML DITA. I believe that getting value out of XML DITA 
will require additional resource investment. Given the resource crunch, this 
does not seem viable. I would put my resource into improving the content rather 
than moving to a new source format that will have little user benenfit. Let 
some of the larger projects go to XML DITA first. When they have proven the 
customer value, then reconsider. Today, the doc model we have (working directly 
in HTML) is simple, efficient and suited to our situation of limited doc 
resource.
Comment 6 Ruth Lee CLA 2005-08-23 10:12:44 EDT
I agree that the doc tracking & consistency problems that we've discussed have
higher priority. 
Comment 7 Ruth Lee CLA 2005-09-06 18:39:02 EDT
No plans to move to DITA in the short term. If a product has a requirement for
this, then the product should open a new bugzilla for that requirement and
explain why it's needed in the bugzilla.
Comment 8 Ruth Lee CLA 2005-09-06 18:39:52 EDT
Won't be considered unless a consuming product needs this feature.
Comment 9 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2009-06-30 13:24:09 EDT
