Review of Requests for Enhancement To browse a specific RFE, enter the URL (on one line): http://sf.net/support/tracker.php?aid=XXXXXX RFEs to revisit for 6.0 1907003 biblioid content model too broad RFEs under discussion 2820947 Ability to transclude text 3035565 Allow sections at any level 3107140 aconym expansion inline 3156768 <result> tag 3491860 license tag New RFEs 3571149 Allow Article inside Set The TC discussed this new RFE. Larry was concerned about putting elements from different hierarchical levels together. Bob mentioned that forcing articles into a book requires adding a book title, which may not be appropriate for unrelated articles. Also, DocBook has long said that book and article are top-level elements, so creating a set that mixes them could be useful. Some were concerned about rendering. The TC was generally not opposed to the change, but we want to get more TC input. ACTION: Bob to start a discussion on the TC list for this RFE. After the meeting, Dick described the Google Summer of Code efforts as successful, producing updates for webhelp, slides, and Word roundtripping. There will be a Mentor Summit 20 and 21 October in Mountain View, CA. [4] Larry asked if any efforts were made to replace the Javascript search engine in webhelp with something else, such as Apache Lucene. Dick suggested that the TC invite one or more participants to present their results to the TC at the next meeting. ACTION: Dick to contact Google Summer of Code participants regarding making a presentation. ----- [1] https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201208/msg00004.html [2] https://wiki.oasis-open.org/docbook/writingMatters [3] https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201208/msg00000.html [4] http://gsoc-wiki.osuosl.org/index.php/2012 Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprisesbobs@sagehill.net
