What is Drupal?

The XML.org infrastructure is based on the open source Drupal content management platform.

 

Drupal functionality is continually expanding. Editorial Board members are encouraged to investigate the list of Drupal modules and make recommendations on those that might enhance the XML.org user experience.

As Drupal supports a variety of language character sets, XML.org sites may be created in any language supported. Specific pages may be translated into multiple languages, and machine-translations for the site may be available.

How do editorial boards function?

Creation and oversight of content for each XML.org Focus Area is provided by an Editorial Board made up of OASIS members. The Editorial Board may be organized as a function of:
  • one OASIS Technical Committee or Adoption Committee
  • several related Committees
  • an Adoption Subcommittee
  • a Joint Committee
  • a Member Section
Participation in an Editorial Board is open to any OASIS member interested in actively advancing the use of OASIS Standards.

What's involved?

Creating and maintaining an XML.org Focus Area is a straighforward process. The basic steps involved include: 

  1. Get buy-in. OASIS Communications staff and interested members work with the appropriate OASIS TC(s) to build support for the site.
  2.  

How are Wiki pages created?

Wiki Knowledgebase pages enable users to dynamically collaborate on documents and add new pages to the site using wiki functionality. 

All registered users may contribute by editing existing wiki pages or creating new ones. To ensure easy navigation, new pages should be linked from existing pages or from the main Wiki index page (linked from the upper right corner of the header on each site).
