A subcommittee Wiki is now up [2]. The committee is looking at how the new DocBook assembly can be adapted to course assembly. 9. Finalize indexterms in footnote (RFE 2821653) Proposal to allow indexterms in footnote was accepted. It was already allowed, just deprecated in the documentation. ACTION: Norm to better document indexterm in footnote. 10. DocBook assembly schema. Still need to resolve syntax for related links in assembly. ACTION: Bob to restart discussion on the TC mailing list. Scott raised the issue of adding info to module and other assembly elements to support metadata. Norm had added info in order to hold a title that would override the title in the resource it pointed to. Bob objected to using info for override content as well as metadata for assembly elements. It was agreed that they need to be differentiated. ACTION: Bob to initiate discussion of info on TC list. 11. Transclusion in DocBook. We received a use case from a user. Still not sure if DocBook should do this or if another standard should be pursued. ACTION: Jirka to write up requirements document for transclusions in DocBook. 12. Linking in modular DocBook.
