| 10 | <shortdesc>The goal of the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) is to provide a high-quality implementation
|
|---|
| 11 | for production-level output of DITA content, built in a professionally-managed project environment
|
|---|
| 12 | by vetted contributors, and tested thoroughly for each release.</shortdesc>

| 21 | <p>The DITA-OT is designed to meet the needs of users who want to publish DITA content, from
|
|---|
| 22 | individual users running the toolkit in a stand-alone mode to vendors who incorporate the toolkit
|
|---|
| 23 | into their software products. The different distribution packages are designed to meet the needs of
|
|---|
| 24 | these different audiences.</p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <p>The DITA-OT project keeps up to date with the latest DTD and Schema updates from the OASIS DITA
|
|---|
| 26 | Technical Committee (TC), which develops and maintains the DITA standard. As the DITA TC produces
|
|---|
| 27 | drafts of future versions, the DITA-OT works to create early support for new features and helps to
|
|---|
| 28 | test the new draft versions of the standard.</p>
|
|---|
| 29 | <p>The project agrees with the open-source motto of <q>Release early and often</q> and seeks to
|
|---|
| 30 | develop wide consensus on issues.</p>
