We need to decide just how many DITA tags the Derby documentation should use. There are dozens of tags that writers will be very familiar with, but do we really want to encumber an open source community with using all of those tags.
I think that to encourage more people to write documentation in DITA that we need to highlight the most important tags for them to become familiar with. Please take a look at the updated Derby Documentation web pages, specifically http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/guidelines.html and the DITA Source pages. The Writing Guidelines page is new. I would like to list the most essential tags people might want to know... the ones that we want to encourage people to use consistently when updating existing topics. The templates will show them the tags (mostly) that they need when creating new topics, so I don't want to necessarily repeat all of those tags. I'm thinking that we highlight the "top ten" most commonly used tags. What would be on your top ten list? -- Laura Stewart
