How to contribute to DITA-OT if you did too many improvements?

[Helmut Scherzer]

After extensive work I have improved the DITA-OT.org.dita.pdf2 (currently as customized plug-in) significantly (based on version 2.1). There are many new features and the actual PDF output looks highly professional. Only some examples ...

- chapter numbering

- oxygen comments appear as Acrobat comments

- trace feature (create/delete) visible in Acrobat

- marginalia support

- extended 'compact' function for lists and list items

- fixed several bugs

- more flexibility in notes (img | label

- ...

and about 30 other improvements which might be appreciated by the community. I would want to offer the extensive work to the public but I do have a problem here ... The amount of works is more than approx. 3000 LoC and it touches about 60 stylesheets from the PDF2.

That means ... I cannot contribute with incremental changes (which GIT is supposed to receive). It is a major change - yet I'm sure the community will really appreciate.

Question: What should I do (who to contact) to donate the work to the community, or possibly as input to a future DITA-OT release?

Thanks for caring ... Helmut

Hi Helmut,

I'm also interested in testing this. Especially in your work to make Oxygen change tracking be visible in the PDF output.

So if you want to go open source maybe you can create a project on GitHub and commit your entire customization plugin's contents there.

Or you can also ZIP and send me the customization (sup...@oxygenxml.com).

Regards,

Radu

Since Oxygen change tracking is not a general purpose functionality, it should be separated into it’s own plugin.
