Best Regards, Gershon --- Gershon L Joseph Member, OASIS DITA and DocBook Technical Committees Director of Technology and Single Sourcing Tech-Tav Documentation Ltd. office: +972-8-974-1569 mobile: +972-57-314-1170 http://www.tech-tav.com
DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 6 June 2006 (Recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com>) The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 6 June 2006 at 08:00am PT for 55 minutes. Don is on vacation, so Gershon led the meeting. 1. Roll call We have quorum. Regrets: Don Day, Paul Grosso 2. Accepted minutes from previous meeting: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200605/msg00061.html (30 May) Moved by Gershon, seconded by Michael P, no objections. 2. Business: 3.1 Review action items from last week: ACTION: JoAnn to write a best practice for including transitional text in DITA. - JoAnn sent an article in her enews and will submit a draft to the list for comment. ACTION for Don to contact Mary McRae on how to set up the new Beta Wiki with review features and how to upload 100 topics to the Wiki - Don told Gershon that we have not received complete information on this yet. 3.2 Bug in DITA DTD: xmlns="" in 1.0.1 DTDs (Paul Grosso) http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200605/msg00062.html - Discussion... - Decision to make xmlns attribute truly universal. - Paul P made counter proposal (supported by Elliot) to remove the attribute. It should be put in each XML instance if it's needed. This makes documents behave consistently between DTD and Schema processors. - Robert mentioned Don's idea for putting DITA fragments inside non-DITA documents that have their own namespace. - Eliot & Paul agree the proposal to remove the attribute won't break the ability to embed DITA content in foreign vocabularies. - Paul moves to remove the xmlns attribute declaration for the null namespace. Eliot Seconds. No objections. DECISION to remove the xmlns attribute from the DTDs and schemas. ACTION: Robert to add to bug list to remove the attribute. 3.3 Update on how to upload the spec to the DITA Focus Area No update because we're still awaiting details from Mary. 3.4 Editing the spec for DITA 1.1 (Michael Priestley) 3.5 Identify action items * For each feature/change for 1.1, identify the owner of the feature and ask them to identify affected topics by next week, relative to 1.0 - send to group and cc me [Michael] The following are the features for DITA 1.1 and each one's owner: Bookmap - Robert Shortdesc - Michael Index - Chris Wong Graphics - Paul Grosso (sent impact assessment previously) Glossary = Erik Hennum metadata - Michael universal - Robert data element - Erik Hennum Foreign content - Eric Sirois Translation - Gershon DTD/schema bugs - Robert Editing bugs - Michael ACTIONS for each person in the above list to send an impact assessment as requested by Michael. Each person should identify topics affected that needs to be changed/edited and identify topics to be deleted (where necessary) and identify new topics in terms of what they are, where they should go, and an outline of the content. This action must be completed for next week, so we'll understand next week the volume of information we'll need to manage. If a feature owner wants to delegate documentation, they can delegate directly or request help on the list. FOR NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA: Assess the documentation effort required to get DITA 1.1 draft ready for review, and implement the effort. * Determine review options - ideally we would review via wiki, but that is apparently hard. Other options? Michael would prefer using the wiki so everyone can see each others comments and issues/conflicts will be resolved quickly without his intervention. ACTION for Gershon to contact Mary to find out where we're holding. 4. Open: Chris Kravogel received email from the TEKOM/OASIS open standard conference. They want to organize a half day DITA session in German. Aside from Chris, are there any other members on the TC who can present in German, or someone who knows of someone who can present such a session? JoAnn is going ahead with the CMS conference in Frankfurt (1st week in November), a week before TEKOM. Anyone who would like to participate please contact JoAnn. Robert has uploaded the DITA workshop recording to the DITA focus area. Go to dita.xml.org and look for resources under presentation.
