Re: [dita] Groups - DITA TC Meeting Minutes 2 July 2013 uploaded

[Nancy Harrison <nharrison@infobridge-solutions.com>]

Joann (and others),

The document loaded in the repository includes the record of the
discussion of 13114, and the fact that it's ready for a vote next
week.  And when I added it to the repository, I included in the
accompanying message all that information.  However, the message
forwarded by OASIS cut off the narrative in the middle, at the point
where the minutes include an opening angle bracket.  OTOH, if you
actually go to the OASIS repository and click on the link to the
minutes from there, the minutes in the repository are complete and
include all the content.

So, for this week, if you want to read the entire minutes, I'm afraid
you'll have to get them from the repository.  From now on, I'll avoid
including angle brackets in the copy I include in the email.
