Planning future DITA 2.0 spec reviews

Once the stage three proposal for #15 (“Loosen specialization rules”) is approved, we can move forward with reviews of two significant chapters of the DITA spec:

Configuration, specialization, generalization, constraints, and expansion
Coding practices for DITA grammar files

I’m bringing up now, to ask for help in planning how to stage these reviews. TC members have different interests and levels of technical expertise when it comes to this content, so I thought it might be helpful to find out who could plan to be a reviewer for specific content. Also, I want to schedule these reviews so that TC members (and invited guests) can plan to participate.

These chapters have the following content:

Chapter	Section	Pages in PDF	# of topics
Configuration, specialization, generalization, constraints, and expansion	Overview of DITA extension facilities	1	1
	Document-type configuration	2	4
	Specialization	8	9
	Generalization	3	5
	Constraints	11	15
	Expansion modules	14	13
Coding practices for DITA grammar files	Recognized XML-document grammar mechanisms	0.50	1
	Normative versions of DITA grammar files	0.50	1
	DTD coding requirements	12	8
	RNG coding requirements	12	8

Best,
