RE: [dita] Format for DITA TC minutes

["Gershon Joseph (gerjosep)" <gerjosep@cisco.com>]

Like Kris, I send out my minutes as a text file attached to an email. I
separately behind the scenes upload the text file to the KAVI meeting
event page as minutes, so that they are recorded and accessible with the
meeting event they pertain to. I vote for text, since using PDF would
require more space in KAVI (which is slow enough already) while being
less portable and less searchable (IMHO).

I like having the content in an email as well, as Mary suggested - it
makes it easier for me to find what I'm looking for when I have to
search over the OASIS email archives.

I don't care whether minutes are TXT or PDF,  but I think we only want
*one* file uploaded to the document repository as the official minutes
for the meeting.

With the exception of the minutes for the January 18th meeting, when I
take minutes I upload a file to the document repository AND copy the
contents of the files to the e-mail that it is automatically sent to TC
members when a file is uploaded.

Using TXT files probably facilitates this process, especially for those
TC members who use non-HTML-rendering e-mail clients.

Best,

Kris
