OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC

Greetings, Adding discussion to a wider audience. I would propose/agree that troubleshooting be included. Thanks. -Dave H. Dave Helfinstine dhelfinstine@ptc.com

Eliot's observation about the proposal not specifying adding troubleshooting to ditabase is correct. That was an oversight on my part. I would like to see it included with ditabase. I suspect that the rest of the tech-comm subcommittee feels the same way. But, to be sure, I will bring this to the attention of the tech-comm list.

I would be in favor of including troubleshooting in ditabase for 1.3.

The troubleshooting proposal did not specify adding that topic type to ditabase. But it seems reasonable to include it since ditabase includes all the Tech Comm topic types.

Another "yes" vote. In my limited research with the troubleshooting topic ( http://www.scriptorium.com/2015/02/taking-dita-troubleshooting-topic-spin/ ), I was impressed by how easy it was to move new tech authors from troubleshooting to concept, task, and reference. Going from concept, task, and reference to troubleshooting had a more challenging learning curve. Troubleshooting topic needs proper recognition.
