We got several, but may perhaps need another.

Larry: I haven’t been able to get one yet, but I’ll continue to look around.

Dick: I could do one, but we aren’t using assembles.

Norm: Craft one that covers what you think you do and send it along.

Norm reports that he’s trying to get his employer to submit one, but
it’s just weeks before our annual user conference so it’s a struggle
to get the attention of the right folks.

Continued.

Mostly done. Bugs in Saxon :-(

> 6.  Publisher's and eLearning subcommittee reports

No report.

> 7.  XInclude 1.1 status.

Moved to github, http://github.com/w3c/xinclude.

Norm: We’re still looking at getting done this summer, I think.
Hopeing to change the test suite to remove dependence on DTD-based
IDs.

> 8.  DocBook 5.1 release

Waiting on SOUs.
