Subject: [xcbf] [Fwd: [chairs] draft of template for OASIS specs]
Dear XCBF Members, Please note the following. John, this is likely to have the greatest impact on you, though I note you have already had a look at DocBook. Any comments from anyone on the list? How should XCBF react to this "OPT-IN request for participation"?

This is an OPT-IN request for participation. As the number of OASIS TCs increases it is becoming more obvious that we need standards for the documents that our TCs produce. Having and using templates for our specs will go a long way towards producing more consistent results and improving the quality of the work that OASIS TCs produce. Norm Walsh and Eve Maler of Sun have, over the past few months, put together some draft templates for TCs to try out and comment on. These are based on DocBook, and have been successfully used by a couple of TCs that Norm is editor for. The templates are available at http://www.oasis-open.org/spectools/ My intent is to have the TCs try out these templates and provide comments, then have Norm and Eve make fixes to complete the templates. I will be recommending to the OASIS Board that the TC Process require use of a standard template for all OASIS specifications; once the templates are complete they would be considered the official template that will be required for use by TCs. I have set up a mail list for the purpose of discussing these templates. Please go to http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl to subscribe to the spectools list, or send a message to spectools-request@lists.oasis-open.org with "subscribe" as the body of the message. Please use this list to send your comments or carry on discussions about the templates. </karl> ================================================================= Karl F.
