Subject: MEETING MINUTES -- 07 November 2005 -- DITA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES -- 08 November 2005 -- DITA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE (Minutes taken by Bruce Esrig <esrig@lucent.com>) DITA Technical Committee website: - Public: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita - Members only: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/ - Roll call - We do not have quorum today Summarize minutes from previous meeting: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200511/msg00004.html - Remaining proposal write-ups submitted by Nov 14th - All design-level writeups must be in by Dec 5th New issues: Discuss how to resolve various section proposals (from email discussions) - Add keyword nesting to list of issues (Michael Priestley, Robert Anderson to write up). Use case: a fancy application of conref. Product name needs to change consistently. Want compound strings. Prod name for Platform (two separate conrefs). Need a keyword entity because of contexts that it can appear in. Nested (specialized) keyword turns out to be a convenient means. - Schedule for 1.1 Proposal: o Six meetings on design by end of February. (Note: W3C uses "candidate recommendation" upon completion of design. The end of February would be a time when vendors could begin to implement, test, and offer feedback.) o Two rounds of draft writing to integrate design and perform updates. o Target submission of draft specification for public review at beginning of June 2006. o Expect completion of approval process by September 2006. - Staging DTD updates (DITA 1.0.1) Could be a Committee Draft or non-normative errata. (Mary McRae, communication to Don Day). The Technical Committee has already approved the release of the fixes. One more bug fix in the DITA toolkit: public ID for tables should state "DITA Exchange Table Model" according to tblDecl.mod, but uses of the ID (e.g. in catalog-dita.txt) wrongly say "DITA CALS Tables". Risk is to those who created a catalog using the old name. Better for users if the bug fix is released. Will be uploaded, will get TC approval next week to announce that the bug fix is available. - What to include in a design template (Don Day will post by Monday): Formal description of feature covering language and architectural impacts that can be pasted into the specifications. Reference behavior for implementers to match. May include fragments of pseudocode or process description. ** END OF DISCUSSION FOR TODAY'S LIMITED SCOPE ** Issues tracking: - Features list - Definition of Status Phases: - In Progress: Author(s) still working on proposal -
