DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 8 April 2008 Chaired by Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com> Minutes recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com> The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 8 April 2008 at 08:00am PT for 60 minutes. 1. Roll call We have quorum. 2. Approve minutes from previous business meeting: * date : 1 April 2008 * URL : http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00001.html Accepted by acclamation. 3. Business: 1. Organization of the DITA Specification 1. ITEM: Rethinking the DITA Reference Docs (resuming from last meeting) http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00003.html (comments from Robert) Robert walked the TC members through the Wiki page. Eliot thought it may be useful to use reltables to manage the links, but would like to try it out. Agreed that the current proposal is more flexible. Robert: I also considered reltable, but this solution allows us to include the complete content model, rather than a simple list of elements. Michael mentioned we probably need to discuss the packaging before we'll know what's in the details of the spec. Next week discuss this item as part of the packaging discussion. 2. ITEM: Need Clarification on Implications of Different List Markup Patterns http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200802/msg00011.html (original note from Kimber) http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00007.html (Gershon/Robert discussion) Lots of discussion, but no agreement was reached. Regarding Eliot's original question: Eliot moved that having an initial paragraph in a list item or not should not by default generate different output formatting. Michael: the stylesheet currently does currently treat <li> with <p> differently from <li> without <p>. ACTION: Eliot to put a suggested motion in a note to be voted on next week. 3. Getting the 1.2 distribution in order: 1.
