DITA Best Practices
I dont know if this would be best in the Wiki
for anyone to contribute or if there should be a
set rules to suggest for people to do best
practices on DITA. This could be how to set up
topics, what kind of content goes in different
content units, suggestions for specialization
practices, etc.

one stop shop for major questions people ask on a
regular basis, and a place to quickly access and
download the DITA fact sheet that IBM has
created.

This will give a brief overview of companies who
support DITA. I am not sure if this should be an
open post page for companies to say what they are
currently working on and any information they
wish to include, or if it should be a controlled
content page and be more contained to links to
their web sites where they can explain everything
there.

Case Studies
I think this could be combined with the blog and
let people post their different experiences with
DITA. It may be good to have some key case
studies though. It would of course need to have a
very good search engine so that you can find a
case study that is representative of your needs
and questions

White papers and books that people write this

think it is more of a section that is stuff that
is for sale, not for free download?
