DSSSL Documentation Project

The DSSSL documentation project is a collaborative effort by DSSSL users to write and disseminate documentation on all aspects of DSSSL for the purposes of:

Introducing DSSSL to new users
Educating both new and experienced users
Assisting people using DSSSL

The project draws on the combined experience of present users of DSSSL, principally those subscribed to the DSSSList mailing list (which also hosts the discussion between project participants).

Goals

The goals of the project are:

To promote and encourage the use of DSSSL by providing to the public cost-free explanatory and reference material above and beyond that contained in the standard
To provide a framework within which many people can contribute as they are able
To coordinate the efforts of project participants
To make the project’s output available to participants and non-participants alike

Non-Goals

The non-goals of the project are:

To replace the DSSSL standard
To solely target any DSSSL implementation
To monopolize the DSSSL documentation field
To prescribe what must be documented
To expand beyond documentation (and the stylesheets for presentation of the documentation)
