|
Minutes for the DITA Adoption TC meeting 25 October 2010, 11 am to 12 noon ET Roll call 11:00 - Quorum Attending: JoAnn, Gershon, Doug Morrison, Kristen Eberlein,
Troy Klukewich, Su-Laine Yeo, PaulG, Deb Bissantz, Akash Dubey, Chris Goolsby,
Mat Varghese, Alessio Marchetti, Briana Wherry, Bruce Nevin Regrets from Don Rohmer, Frank Miller Next meeting: 8 November 2010, 11:00am to 12:00pm ET Noted that Tools article goes to the wrong file. JoAnn
corrected the link. Business 1. ITEM: Specification DITA 1.2 update. Nearing the OASIS
vote. November 1-15 for familiarization; Nov 16-30 for voting. Action: All members of the Adoption TC will encourage their
"official members" to vote on the specification. Approval requires that 15% of OASIS corporate members must
approve. Kris will create a spreadsheet to identify voting members associated
with Adoption TC members. 2. ITEM: Finding descriptions of DITA attributes. Topic was
discussed at the DITA TC meeting on 19 Oct. Su-Laine requested a one-page set of attributes with cross
references to the DITA 1.2 specification because the attribute definitions are difficult to find. DITA
TC is reviewing the request. May be forwarded to the Adoption TC but no action at present. 3. ITEM: Subcommittee reports Focus Area -- Doug M has suggested a Tiger Team to identify
problems and changes and execute on them as quickly as possible. Those interested in
taking part need to join the TC. No need for formal meetings. First consideration: what to do
about the Forum Asian Adoption Kickoff of the Asian Adoption SC being planned after
preliminary conversations between Mat and Gershon. Eight people have joined already
representing India, Japan, and Australia. Considering the 2nd week in November. Mat is attending Tekom
and will announce. First goal: prepare a slide deck that can be used by members
to present the adoption scenario. Help SC -- no update 4. Plus 6/7 ITEM: Discussion of feature articles Frank M has a draft coming soon of delayed conref. Gershon
still working on his article. Needs to update the style sheet and set up as plug-in. Has a list of
changes from Mary M. Hal will update the style (Gershon to send list from Mary). Gershon will enable
the plug-in. 8. ITEM: Discussion of DITA 1.2 elements that need styling
and the development of new translatable strings. Su-Laine further explained this item for Troy's discussion
with L&T Subcommittee chair, John Hunt. Troy had preliminary discussion with John but the full
intent was not clear. Will bring up the topic again because many of the new translatable strings and elements are in the
Learning and Training specialization. For next meeting: Further discussion of changes of the
template and policies on October 15. Adoption TC will need to send feature articles out for 30 day
formal reviews and receive comments through the TC comment log. Creates a considerable burden on the TC for
simple educational articles. May delay the publication process to an unacceptable extent.
The articles are already circulated to all members, including DITA TC members as they are being
discussed. New OASIS policies are threatening the committee work. Will continue this discussion at the next meeting. Discuss again at the next meeting. Adjourn 12:00 noon ET. |
