Business:

 

1. ITEM: DITA 1.2 Specification Review Assignments
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Draft_DITA_1.2_Specification_Review_Assignments

 

Status check for reviews:
Robert updated the latest status and recorded new reviewers in the list of review assignments.

 

We need more reviewers. Members need not be voting members to review. This is going slower than expected and desired, so due attention is urged.

 

ACTIONS
Don: contact John Hunt about training architecture
Don: Contact Erik Hennum on status of the new "DITA 1.2 Classification, Controlled Values, and Taxonomies Architecture and Language Reference".

 

2. ITEM: OASIS hosting of a Web GUI

 

CONTINUED

 

3. ITEM: Cascading/Inheritance of default values

 

Action:
Jeff Ogden: write up and present conclusions.

 

4. ITEM: Review 1.2 list for items that should be considered for 1.3

 

Gershon out until the 28th. Will resume then (high priority, low urgency, but must be done before we start 1.3).

 

Action:
Gershon: Update the DITA 1.3 list on the Wiki

 

5. New ITEM: Placing international calls:

 

Don updated the list of telephone numbers for members. Mark Poston was able to use the UK number, but found confirmation in a Skype forum that IBM numbers are filtered. Chris Kravogel will try the new IBM number next week. OASIS offers some numbers for international access. Affected members should verify them. If this is still a problem next week, we will reopen it as an OASIS issue.

 

Action:
Don: forward latest OASIS numbers to Chris Kravogel.
