ITEM: Proposals for Design Approval vote: None this week 2. ITEM: Feature review (Houser) * 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. 3. ITEM: Review prepared proposals: 1.
