This is a conceptual piece that explores the idea of using a Ruby-based Wiki to get DITA-style reuse--most likely by employing the DITA open toolkit for backend processing: http://blogs.sun.com/coolstuff/entry/wikis_docs_and_the_reuse
Here's the intro: Wiki systems make it easy to edit documents online. That makes them terrific for document collaboration. But current Wiki formats don't allow the kind of reuse that the DITA document format was designed for. But it may be possible to implement some of DITA's best features using a some clever combination of JavaScript and CSS. I suspect it can be done most easily using a Ruby-based Wiki like MediaCloth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
