We want people to be able to draft documents on the CMS (like they currently do on the Wiki) in a dynamic way that supports team-based community collaboration, and allows approved documents to be promoted to official status, built into tarballs/HTML/PDF using appropriate tools, etc. In a perfect world, we would have a way to accomplish this as we do in CVS (warning, crappy ASCII art rendering follows): .------------------. .-----------------. | Easy CMS markup |______\ | Editor tags to | | draft by authors | / | DocBook or DITA | '------------------' '-----------------' | (PROMOTION 1) V | .------------------. | | Authors continue | /_______________| | work using editor| \ | aware of DB/DITA | | which locks tags |______\ .---------------------. '------------------' / | Editor snapshots a | | ^ | publication version | | |(ad inf.) '---------------------' --- (PROMOTION 2) | V .---------------------. | Publisher tags for | | HTML/PDF/RPM/et al. | '---------------------' I'm sure this is *possible*, but how to do it with volunteer manpower? Does this beg the question of how much interaction documenters could ultimately have with developers using the CMS? -- Paul W.
