|
|---|
| 33 | for production-level output of DITA content, built in a professionally-managed project environment
|
|---|
| 34 | by vetted contributors, and tested thoroughly for each release.</p>
|

| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <p class="p">The DITA-OT is designed to meet the needs of users who want to publish DITA content, from
|
|---|
| 37 | individual users running the toolkit in a stand-alone mode to vendors who incorporate the toolkit
|
|---|
| 38 | into their software products. The different distribution packages are designed to meet the needs of
|
|---|
| 39 | these different audiences.</p>
|

| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | <p class="p">The DITA-OT project keeps up to date with the latest DTD and Schema updates from the OASIS DITA
|
|---|
| 42 | Technical Committee (TC), which develops and maintains the DITA standard. As the DITA TC produces
|
|---|
| 43 | drafts of future versions, the DITA-OT works to create early support for new features and helps to
|
|---|
| 44 | test the new draft versions of the standard.</p>
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | <p class="p">The project agrees with the open-source motto of <span class="q">"Release early and often"</span> and seeks to
|
|---|
| 47 | develop wide consensus on issues.</p>
