amended (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201005/msg00000.html).
Minutes accepted by acclamation. Don moved,
Kristen
seconded. Postponed Gershon's report on DITA Adoption TC
meeting to
next meeting. ACTIONS: 1. Kris to remove references to "head schema" in
spec. 2. Eliot and Paul to discuss Schema example with
Eric Sirois
to determine if it is valid. 3. Gershon to post a request to members of the TC
to handle
the PDF formatting issues. 4. Kris to contact Mary McRae about whether
temporary URLs
are needed in the heading of the specification release. 5. Kris to talk with Robert Anderson about
creation of TOC
outline numbering in Spec Web Page release. BUSINESS: 1. Don turned floor over to Kristen to direct
discussion
about status of review round 4. Kris referenced 6 items on Wiki page that are
critical for
OASIS approval. http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/FrontPage
Kris stated that the review was on track. Review
comments at
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/TechReview4#Reviewstatus.3AHandlingreviewcomments
Discussion of some of the comments. Kris asked for
any
recollection of "head schema" and the sense was that the term was
supposed to be removed. Kris turned the floor to Gershon to discuss the
processing
area. Gershon discussed his priority tagging notation
for dealing
with comments: Substantive with yellow icon must be addressed;
Substantive with
blue icon are nice to be addressed, include organization issues,
content not making
sense to reviewers, etc.; Editorial with green icon is wordsmithing,
but not
critical; remainder of categories are not essential to complete before
the 1.2
spec is released. For example, see LEGEND section on http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/processing-ditaAddressing4
Kris asked Eliot or Paul to address the
Configuration,
extension and constraints section. Eliot has looked through the
comments, did
not see anything too onerous. Paul requested input on items in red from
other
members of the call. The first issue was raised by Robert Anderson, but
he was
not on the call. Michael summarized Robert's objection to the wording
about the
DITA doctypes, which position is shared by many. Next issue was over the inconsistency over use of
FPIs
versus URNs in the DTD topics. Most instances use FPIs, one used a URN.
All
examples are correct, but the consistency is at question. Agreed to use
FPI in
all examples so as not to confuse the reader by implying significance
where
none exists. Next substantive issue was an invalid schema
example for
discussion with Eric Sirois. An editorial issue about reference to SVG DTD was
discussed. A substantive issue about topic name for "Module
Entity
Declaration File" was raised--improper topic name. Eliot to examine. Kris stated there are two weeks (May 18th)
remaining for
these comments to be addressed. Less important editorial comments to be
addressed in a second pass if time permits. John Hunt joined the call to discuss two comments
from Kris
about "unnecessary levels of nesting". John agreed to address these. Kris mentioned that most of the changes to the
language
reference were minor editorial changes or typos, and these could be
left to
Robert to address at his discretion. 3. PDF Formatting Issues discussion. Problems with hyperlinks and text in table cells. Kris asked if Gershon needs help. Gershon was
willing to
send an announcement to the TC to ask if someone could take this issue
on. 4. DITA 1.2 Spec overview Kris to contact Mary McRae about temporary links
on top of
spec. 5. DITA 1.2 TOC Page Kris to speak with Robert Anderson about how to
create
outline numbering in web-based release of DITA spec. 6. Review action items 7. Don adjourned the meeting at 1200 EDT. Thank you, Glenn G.
