Subject: Event "XLIFF TC Call" Tuesday Feb-21 2012 - Summary
XLIFF TC Call - Summary Tuesday Feb-21 2012 === 1/ Roll call Present: Bryan, Yves, Ingo, Steven, Shirley, Victor, Arle, DavidW, Fredrik, Tom, Asanka, Kevin, Lucìa, Jung, Joachim, Paul, DavidF, Alan Michael, Christian Regrets: Rodolfo, Helena, Andrew New members: Alan Michael, Kevin O'Donnell (both from Microsoft) === 2/ Approve Tuesday, 07 February 2012 meeting minutes: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201202/msg00006.html Bryan moves to approve the minutes Fredrik seconds. No objections. Bryan: many features in the work. Since last meeting, two were proposed to be moved to 'accepted'. We will address those shortly. === 3/ Sub Committee Reports --- 1. Inline text (Yves) Minutes are here: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff-inline/201202/msg00007.html Nothing specific to report to the TC We also talked about a F2F meeting for SC --- 2. XLIFF Promotion and Liaison SC Charter (David) David: First report on State Of The Art tools is done. Also the minutes of the info-call with Interoperability Now! Has been published. IN! present XLIFF:doc as an XLIFF profile, but a few aspect of the format make XLIFF:doc not quite XLIFF compliant. Maybe TC should publish a normative note about what a profile is and is not. Idea is to start working on such policy. No-one had objection to start looking at such policy === 4/ XLIFF 2.0 (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking) Bryan described the mechanism to approve features for 2.0 DavidF: no "jail term" now, 'discarded' items can go back to proposed by simple ballot. Bryan: We have two features to possibly move: Proposed/seconded, sufficient time given for consideration on TC list. Straight to vote (as outlined here http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201202/msg00057.html ): Translation Candidates http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201202/msg00037.html http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking#XLIFF2.0.2BAC8-Feature.2BAC8-TranslationProposals.TranslationProposals Arle and Rodolfo seconded it. DavidF: need to explain about scope and resources Yves: I will work on it and think maybe 1 month will be enough. This would replace alt-trans of 1.2 Ballot: passes. Christian: I abstain since I am not yet clear about the processing expectations for this feature Yves will move the item on the wiki. DavidF: note that we don't necessarily use the old (1.2) names for similar features. Add optional format attribute for quick at-a-glance reviewhttp://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201202/msg00044.html http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking#XLIFF2.0.2BAC8-Feature.2BAC8-Addoptionalformatattributeforquickat-a-glancereview.Addoptionalformatattributeforquickat-a-glancereview Rodolfo seconded this. Bryan: may need another attribute. In summary: this would allow to use simple HTML to represent the content and structure of the document. Bryan would drive, would need about one month. Christian: agree with usefulness, but wonder about the proposed implementation. Not sure of attribute-based is the way. Maybe CSS-based solution could be as viable. Bryan: Didn't see CSS as explicit enough. Would also be an external resource. Christian: CSS can probably be internal Fredrik: that proposal has merit. Arle: Given the heterogeneity of data being represented in XLIFF, I don't think CSS would be robust enough. I think it's important to allow for a mapping from arbitrary input formats to formatting guidelines. If you use just the XLIFF elements, I doubt that you could get at this. I'd be happy to be proved wrong. Christian: looking at IN! work I see also preview capability. Maybe HTML in attribute may not be the only solution. DavidF: those discussions can continue once the feature is 'accepted' Also agree with Arle. Christian: that up to debate. Bryan: this is more like approving a 'concept'. Will go ahead with ballot, vote no or abstain if you have reserve. Ballot: passes. Bryan will move the feature. Christian: http://interoperability-now.googlecode.com/files/XLIFFdoc%20Representation%20Guide_v0.95.pdf And http://www.w3.org/Style/styling-XML.en.html DavidF: we should be ok to do those ballots on Kavi only, it would save time. Bryan: agree. We just need a process for doing it online: go to ballot if no-one objects before a x number of days. Arle: I agree with David. That would make for more efficiency. If we stuck to controversial or thorny issues in the phone conversations, I think it would allow us to work faster. === 5/ Current XLIFF business Note: Moved some items to P & L SC; some remaining things need TC approval to move 1. XLIFF and TM, Glossary, Segmentation Rules (Christian) - - Suggested we need to start thread evaluating TAUS survey 2. Using other standards vs. adding XLIFF modules (Arle, David W., Yves, Helena, . . .) No comments. === 6/ New Business None. Next TC meeting is first Tuesday of March.
