Re: [dita-adoption] OASIS DITA Adoption TC -- Agenda 15 April 2009

[mathew varghese <mathew.techwriter@gmail.com>]

JoAnn,

I've sent my write-up on the new PDF transform to Robert for another
round tech review. I'm currently working on documenting the working of
the OT. Robert has posted some content and I'm using it to come up
with a better flow chart than what's currently in the OT User Guide.

Best regards,

Matt
