DISCUSSION on the work Robert and Gershon are doing to create a set of
overrides for generating OASIS specs marked up in DITA.
Mary offered to upload our package to the OASIS templates area.
* Need for an overview of the specification structure (McRae request)
Don confirmed with Mary that the overview would be posted with the
DITA 1.1 announcement. The overview is not part of the normative spec,
but very nice to have.
The overview should be uploaded as a document in the TC documents area.
Don asked if anyone is interested in writing the overview document.
Mary: It does not need all the formalisms of the OASIS specs, just the logo and
cover page with title.
Robert offered to work on it, invoking help from others as needed. Michael
offered to help.
Current status:
Robert is working on CSS.
Gershon is still working on updating the customizations to align them with the
latest OASIS requirements.
DISCUSSION on whether to use PDF Web capture of XHTML version of spec or
use Gershon's output.
ACTION: Gershon to submit current PDFs to Mary for approval or rejection.
Mary will review formatting and correct the footers if the rest is acceptable.
2. ITEM: DITA TC IPR Transition Ballot (Mary McRae)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200702/msg00048.html
* Reminder for those who have not voted yet--closes March 5
We have the required votes in. Provided no "no" vote comes in, we're OK
for accepting the new IPR.
3. ITEM: review recent updates for DITA 1.2 requirements list
Ongoing action for Gershon to update the list.
Don asked if anyone has any thoughts on themes for 1.2.
DISCUSSION: We should probably wait to complete the list first and then
work out themes.
ACTION: Gershon to include a column on priority for each requirement, with the
following priorities:
A - must have
B - nice to have
C - can wait till future release
D - simple/quick fix
4. ITEM: SC updates

John invited everyone to take a look at the SC's plans. There is a phased
plan with time-frames for the sub-projects.
Michael updated the TC on the outcome of the conf call arranged by the
machine industry SC.
Many of the requests are items already in the requirements for 1.2. One
new requirement is the ability to nest a table inside a fig. Their other
issues should be addressable in the 1.2/1.3 spec timeframe.
