* OASIS DITA Member Section (review last week's discussion)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200807/msg00014.html
Jeff: I sent out a summary of the discussion. We don't see a need or
advantage to pursuing a member section at this time.
Some folks on the call would like to see changes to the TC charters to
facilitate liaison etc. This is all noted in the message I sent out.
ACTION: Don to add a new item to the agenda next week to discuss Jeff's
TC charter amendment. Goal is to update the TC's charter to remove parts
about evangelism etc. and replace that with formal liaison aspect.
ACTION: Michael to initiate discussion on the list and have this as
ongoing agenda item until we agree on a revised charter.
4. Business:
1. New ITEM: SIDSC "oversight" heads-up (request for specialization review)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200807/msg00011.html (Beims)
Eliot volunteered previously to do this.
ACTION: Don to respond to Bob saying that Eliot Kimber will be the TC
liaison for this.
2. ITEM: DITA 1.2 Packages (resume from previous weeks)
1. Machine Industry Task discussion
Chris:
1) SC agreed their specialized elements should be specialized from
<prereq> and <postreq>.
2) Domain spec vs structural spec: we prefer to remain at domain
specialization so we don't limit it even more than we have done.
3) Name of domain: rename "Machinery Task Domain" to "Service Domain".
(the name of the task remains Machinery Task, and the package name
remains the same as before)
Discussion around the fact that "Service" is somewhat general beyond
the machinery industry.
Michael suggested "Task Requirements Domain".
ACTION: Chris to go back to the MI SC to try to come up with a better
long description of the domain name. Since the MI SC will meet next
in 4 weeks time, revisit in 4 weeks time.
2. DITA 1.2 specification documents (Michael's Matrix)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200807/msg00004.html (Priestley, et al.)
Chris reminded the TC about the previous decision to include only
the highlighting domain in MI, but remove software and programming.
Michael to check with John Hunt whether the number of topic shells
provided is too much.
CONTINUED. (out of time)
Meeting adjourned.
3. ITEM: Review anticipated schedule for drafts and remaining input--updates?
