Re: pdf documentation on the site

[scott hutinger]

Hi Jeff,
I think another important item would be something along the lines of the 
document build date; ie:
"Derby Document build: some ISO date type timestamp here".
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt

Derby Document build: 2005-03-21T16:00Z : 21 March 2005  or March 21 2005
I don't agree with much of anything dealing with time/dates/timezones, 
but adding the month and day in text at least removes some of the 
confusion, possibly more if doing multiple languages...  Some type of 
timestamp would allow people to re-cycle documentation that tends to get 
stale, with a date being self documenting.  I would guess the title page 
might be a good location(?).

OR
whatever timestamp works :-)  Until things get more stable.
Possibly some other method would work better.

Until Jean gets the PDF's up, I have placed the PDF's
on my own personal website at:
http://derby.mylevita.com
No zip file, because I want to update each of them
separately as I make updates to my modified xsl file.
Please email me suggestions for improving the PDF's! 
Items already on my list:

- Chapter titles at top left of each page
- Table cell formatting
- Index
- Widows and orphans (when a topic title is at the
bottom of one page and the rest of the content is at
the top of the next page)
- Linking (currently some links go to blank page
BEFORE a topic target, instead of directly to the
target)

I can put pdfs on the web site tomorrow (probably)
after infrastructure 
upgrades are complete.

I would agree that DITA output should be on the
     

site without the need to 
   

build the docs.  One might explain that the output
     

is in a state of flux 
   

(will change) for a while.  I would agree with
     

Anthony that expecting 
   

people to build the output is a bit much.
