Kris and Robert * 5 April -- Fourth review complete; authors begin working review comments. * 19 April -- Authors complete all review comments. * 26 April -- Final draft ready to submit to OASIS for public review and official-approval process kick-off. This draft must include all substantive content; if we need to add substantive content after the public review begins, it will require us to restart the approval process. New issues for today: 1. New ITEM: keyref and keydef issue: possible vote required * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201003/msg00051.html (Ogden) > Robert: Anybody using the keys inherits the defaulted values (e.g. @toc, > @print, @linking) and we should therefore not default them (since we now > have @resource-only). The proposal is to remove these defaults and also make > explicit the list of attributes not carried over as part of the keyref > resolution processing. > Adopting this proposal requires changes to schema, DTD and lang spec topic > that Robert owns. Overall a pretty trivial change. > Robert moved to accept the changes as recorded in these minutes. Bruce > seconded. Motion carries by acclamation. > DECISION: Update DTDs, schema and lang spec to fix this keyref issue. Things that can be accomplished DURING public review (treat as ongoing checks for now): 1. Assess OASIS look and feel for DITA outputs (designate a coordinator for input and discussion?) * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/PDFFormattingIssues 2. Lessons Learned--anything we can start with already? > Robert suggested we come back to this item after 1.2 is released as a spec. 3. Scan Wiki pages for review #1, review #2, and review #3 to identify items deferred to DITA 1.3 * Link with the work plan of items to handle during the public review > Gershon is scanning the previous minutes. He said he would appreciate > someone scanning the review wiki pages. Discuss in future meeting with more > participants. Ongoing checks: 1. dita.xml.org page on build scripts (Stan, Kris Eberlein) > Stan: making progress. Ongoing progress – revisit next week. 2. ITEM: Domain integrator * DITA DTD Generator * http://www.elovirta.com/dita-generator/ * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00116.html (Robert's message with more info) * OASIS hosting of a Web GUI for this generator? > JoAnn: Next week's Adoption TC meeting will include Hal going over the tool > to show folks what it does. Then we'd need someone to fix up the UI. > Robert suggested inviting the developer to the call. > JoAnn agreed to do so.
