Business
 
1. Discuss the process for getting the Asian Adoption SC up and running (Varghese)
 
- Members urged to encourage new membership with an interest in the Asian Adoption SC. Gershon has got three new people to join Oasis who will join this TC, two from India and one from China. Matthew has two or three likely prospects.
 
ACTION: JoAnn: Add Asian Adoption SC to home page
ACTION: JoAnn: Clean up action items
ACTION: JoAnn: ask Carol Geyer to make an announcement in her weekly XML News.
 

2. ITEM: Discussion of the Tools Awareness article begun by Su-Laine.
 
- Gershon: some areas need more detail and depth. Cannot now point to specifics, as it is too long since he reviewed it.
- Definition of DITA awareness: What does "appropriate styling" mean?
- A few relatively minor recommendations recorded by JoAnn for Su-Laine; general consensus that this is appropriate for users evaluating tools, and a first step in providing adopters a basis for evaluating claims by vendors.
 
ACTION: All: review this document during the next week.
 
We may be able to review this document in the wiki. Gershon is working on a DITA-to-OASIS-Wiki plugin, will use this as working case.
 
We will review and vote on this at our next meeting in two weeks.
 

3. ITEM: Review status of Feature Article assignments. Revise as necessary.
 
No change noted
 
4. ITEM:"Improved link management in DITA 1.2" feature article (Kris Eberlein)
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-adoption/document.php?document_id=30211
Skipped. Su-Laine has offered to provide an initial draft.
 
5. ITEM: DITA tools evaluation checklists and test suite (Gershon)
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita-adoption/factSheet
 
- Gershon hoping to complete shortly so we can review before our next meeting.
 
NEW ITEM: DITA 1.2 elements needing styling and translatable strings (Yeo)
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-adoption/email/archives/201008/msg00016.html
