------------------------------------------------------- OASIS DITA Technical Committee Minutes Tuesday, 10 February 2009 ------------------------------------------------------- Minutes recorded by Kristen James Eberlein. 1. ROLL CALL Quorum is present. 2. MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS BUSINESS MEETING * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00027.html (3 Feb 2009) Motion made to approve minutes; seconded by Rob Frankland; approved by acclamation. 3. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS Jae Sheddy gave a report about the work of the OASIS DITA Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee. They are documenting specializations, some overlapping work with the Spirit Consortium. Michael Priestley asked if there had been interlock with the other committee; Jae answered that Seth Parks is a member of both committees. Michael P. stated that it would be good for both committees to issue a joint statement of support. Don Day mentioned that any public statement would need to be coordinated with Carol Geyer, OASIS Director of Communication. OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee The subcommittee is working on best practices for glossary; it should be issued for review in a month or so. The OASIS DITA Adoption Committee is working on best practices for keyref. The Help Subcommittee is about to issue best practices about DITA for context-sensitive help. They are looking for feedback from the TC and Adoption Committee during the next two weeks. Their document as been retitled. 4. Announcement: New upload of the Language Reference The ToCJS format is available. Robert Anderson is working on cleaning up the source files so that they properly use the keyref feature. 5. Review Master Topic List--Gershon Gershon's latest spreadsheet was e-mailed to particular individuals, not the list. He will be sending the spreadsheet to the list in another day or so; people are encouraged to sign up. JoAnn asked for volunteers to work on this; Elliot Kimber volunteered, with a preference for specialization and linking/specialization. Kris Eberlein volunteered. Michael Priestley suggested that for areas of new content, if we do not get volunteers, the people who originally championed features should get involved. JoAnn asked Michael what areas that he thought would be challenging; he answered conref, chunking, and specialization. Don Day suggested that the constraint mechanism would be a good topic area for the Adoption Committee to highlight; it might also be very useful for the DITA for Enterprise Business Documents Subcommittee. No one is currently assigned to write about constraints in the Architectural Specification. Action: JoAnn to capture the sense of this discussion and forward it to Gerson. Gershon to upload the spreadsheet after he does his final edits. JoAnn will send a note to the list asking for additional participation. 6. Subversion Subversion is an open-source document source control application. Action: Stan Doherty will look into it and give a recommendation for how the TC should set up and use Subversion. Action: Don Day will forward e-mail about OASIS and Subversion to Stan Doherty. 7. DITA 1.2 Language Spec Review Assignments Don asked whether we needed to keep this page or whether we would be using a spreadsheet. Action: Don will write Gershon and ask for clarification about what needs to be done 8. Map structure and possible new attribute for conref push and anchorref * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200901/msg00034.html (Su-Laine Yeo, Eliot, Bruce) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00015.html (Su-Laine's "rebooted" version and ensuing discussion) Su-Laine stated that she has not heard any discussion, except for a suggestion about the name. Don Day asked whether we were ready to bring this to a vote; he asked voting members whether they had additional questions or comments. Michael Priestley expressed that he was not comfortable with local-display and suggested media. Michael and Su-Laine agreed that this attribute is parallel to print and toc. Michael made a point about first or second-tier content. Elliot Kimber suggest content-role. Su-Laine commented that we should avoid using the term role, given the overlap with another attribute. Don Day suggested "usage." Su-Laine reminded us that we needed to consider the experience that users coming fresh to the discussion would have. Michael suggested processing-role or processing-usage. Elliot objects to using processing in any attribute name. Michael asked what term would disambiguate whether the usage is about the processor or the user? Action: To be continued on the list, folks reminded mid-week to discuss the item.
