Subject: RE: [dita] Groups - Best Practice for Leveraging Legacy Translation Memory when Migrating to DITA (TranslationBestPracticesWhitePaper.doc) uploaded


I have no substantive comments on this document, but there
are several editorial issues that should be corrected before
we publish this document.

Why is the text on page 2:

[Insert paragraph describing particular TC or Topic area as
appropriate.]

still in this copy of the document?  Are we planning to
publish it like this?

On page five, the second "bullet" has some odd font changes
in the middle of the text (in fact, in the middle of the
word "the").

Page six also seems to have some odd font changes.  (Makes
me think this document must not have been generated via
DITA and XML.)

On page 8, the font use under "Fuzzy matching" is odd.

On page 9, the font use under SRX and xml:tm is questionable.

Regarding JoAnn's annoyed sounding "alright" when I said
I wasn't ready to vote to approve this in the last 10 seconds
of today's call since we were informed of this latest version 
only minutes before today's telcon, I'd like to remind the 
entire TC that we are a standards making body.  When we vote
to approve something, we're supposed to mean it, and when we
publish something, it's supposed say what we mean for it to
say and be formatted in a way that doesn't embarrass us.

It may be that I've been doing standards for too long, but
I take the standards development process seriously, and I'd
prefer not to be forced to vote on something that I haven't
had time to read.
