* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200711/msg00003.html
Michael led the drive through the features list. Robert updated the Wiki
on the fly.
12007 - Michael: Making progress. Michael feels we can get this item
into the end-of-year draft.
12014 and 12015 - Michael: Planning to work on them next week. Need to
add use cases.
12016 - Eliot: Replaced by or subsumed into the keyref proposal. At this
point I'd withdraw this proposal, since keyref addresses most of the
things this proposal addresses.
MP: I think there's some overlap, but this proposal includes pattern
matching, which keyref does not handle.
EK: I prefer to defer this to a later DITA release.
MP agreed we should defer this one.
DECISION by acclamation: Drop 12016 from DITA 1.2 scope.
12021 - MP: Jim Early submitted a design proposal, but we have not
approved it yet. Up for discussion today.
12026 - EH not on call.
MP: Erik has been working on this. They're working hard to submit a
proposal soon.
12035 - MP: Not sure where this proposal is sitting. Proposal currently
needs some work. TC agreed to split this into two proposals.
Don asked MP to send DP a note about this item and the TC will decide
next week what to do about this item.
12047 - EK: I haven't given this one much thought in the last few months.
ACTION: MP to send email to EH to ask where it's holding. If it's not
close to ready, the TC will drop it from 1.2.
12022 - EK: I haven't done anything on this item yet. Will do it in the
coming weeks.
12042 - EK: Not sure what this one is about.
None of the TC members on the call know what this item is about.
Dropped from the 1.2 release.
12043 - EK: I have not spent much time on it. It's not critical.
MP: It's a pain. I've hit this one too.
EK: I'll take a look at this tomorrow.
12055 - RA: Should be marked as complete.
12060 - MP: This is the ability to, for example, to pull something into
codeblock as a code listing... I have an action item on this one. I'll
get to it this week.
12050A- JO: Michael and I were working on this one. It's in progress.
Affects image and object.
MP will do it this week.
12024 and 12040 - CK: Proposal is ready.
CK will update the proposal to point to the DTDs and latest versions of
support documents and submit it to the TC for review.
12038 - Almost ready
12056 - SD: The SC has not started meeting yet, so the TC should not
expect this in the scope of 1.2.
12041 - MP: Part of the 1.2 spec update. Scope is creating a new DTD
that integrates only the base module. Proposal is simple enough that we
don't need a formal proposal.
DECISION by acclamation: Jeff nominated as an Editor for the 1.2 DITA spec.
