• [Intermediate] DITA Integration for Drupal - Drupalpond (E0.11)

  by Denes Lados

  DITA Integration for Drupal is a module which provides various tools to handle a DITA documentation. It's integrated with the popular DITA Open Toolkit.

  Main features are:

  You can upload dita tasks/concepts/documents.
  You can use graphmind to build a DITA map from your uploaded topics.
  You can convert your dita documentations into xhtml or pdf2, or you
  can download them in tar.gz
  You can schedule your conversions, and have them run on cron, or run
  them immediately with a simple command in command line.
  Create relation tables in the map with Drupal's taxonomy
  With the Simple Dita Forms submodule, you can build simple tasks and
  concepts with a form.
  With the DITA feeds plugin, you can add a directory, from where any
  new DITA topics will be crawled.

  In this session I'll explain the concept of this module and what were the biggest challenges implementing an
  integration module for the DITA XML format.

• [Beginner] Contributing to Drupal - Drupalpond Room (E0.11)

  by Erik Stielstra

  You can write drupal code, but how to share it with the community?
  You hacked a module and fixed some bugs, but how to get it into the next release?
  You know how to improve the user interface, now how to convince the module maintainer?
  You like to help others, can write better documentation, help to translate the interface?

  There are many ways you can contribute and every drop counts. And above all, it's fun!

  Learn how to contribute, where to go, which the 'procedures' to follow and which tools to use.
