Agenda

1. Roll call
2. Accepting the minutes [1] of the previous meeting (17 July 2016, revised 19 September 2016).
3. Next meeting: 19 October 2016
4. Review of the agenda.
5. Review of open action items

  a. Norm to review the non-normative XML Schema version of 5.1 to make sure it has all the latest changes.

  b.  Norm to complete his XInclude implementation.
       Closed. The Working Group for XInclude has closed down, so in the short term, the current version of XML Calabash (14 August 2016) is the latest.

  c.  Bob to investigate assembly for XInclude equivalents.
       Completed: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201608/msg00003.html

  d.  Bob will discuss with Norm how Publisher's fits into the Github structure.

  e.  Scott will verify that the items accepted for Publisher's 1.1 are represented in a schema, make that schema available, and respond to the email.
       STATUS: Scott verified the missing version, but could not find the source files. He will re-create them, but it will take some time.

  f.  Jirka will contact Norm about transitioning the DocBook schema files so that he can make edits to them as we proceed with changes beyond version 5.1.
      STATUS: Jirka is sorting out access issues on docbook.org, but he expects to complete this action before the September meeting.
