We'll also try at least one person calling in through Skype and see if that will help with long-distance charges. We can set up a Skype conference call for 25 people but we would all have to be on Skype. Let's discuss that option. Is it possible that someone in the membership has a toll-free conference call number that we could use? With the wiki in place, we don't need a web conference.

4.1 Review the purpose of the DITA Adoption TC

With thanks to David Hollis for his excellent suggestion on the agenda.

" Since this is the start of a brand new, full TC, I would like to suggest that there is the opportunity to step back from the minutiae, and consider the bigger picture. What does it mean to adopt DITA?

Specifically, I would suggest carrying out a SWOT analysis for DITA adoption. I feel this could draw out a number of threads, and put the work of the TC in context."

4.2 Discuss the DITA/XLIFF webinar.

Explain what XLIFF is and how it works with DITA.

4.3 Discuss the maintenance of dita.xml.org and the need for a Focus Area Subcommittee

4.4 Begin to define the TC activities and establish a roadmap for 2008-2009.
