Re: [dita-adoption] Action Items: 10-02-2018 DITA Adoption TC Meeting

Just now realizing that the usual WebEx connection in the agenda is missing. Could someone please pass it along to the group? (I checked the old one from a previous meeting agenda and it did not work).

Cheers!

Subject: [dita-adoption] Action Items: 10-02-2018 DITA Adoption TC Meeting

====================================================
           DITA Adoption Action Items
                  10-02-2018
====================================================
Attendees: Joe, Stan, Kathy, Scott, and Keith

1. Sample source wiki
   > https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita-adoption/ditaSourceSets
   > AI/Stan - Run a query through github.com for additional
     DITA-based sources.
   > AI/Keith - Keep on truckin' with the Strunk Elements of
     Style conversion.

2. Update our listening session planning boilerplate to include:
   > Encouragements to attendees to look at the latest, improved
     versions of specs.
   > Request specifics (perhaps as follow-up) on anything that people
     see as inadequate.
   > Do impromptu polls with the groups -- test how widely a particular point is
     shared across attendees.

3. DITA markup examples in DITA Specs
   > AI/Stan - include this topic in future agendas.
   > IDEA - consider developing a companion DITA example site
     a la HTML5 example sites. Separate from DITA specs.
   > IDEA - develop a topic about how to test/use examples in the
     DITA specs. For example, if the example is a fragment and
     the content model context is not explicit, should the fragment
     be pasted by default into a generic topic <body> for testing?
   > PUZZLE - example placement in the DITA specs? why so frequently
     at the end of the topic? why not progressive in tandem with the
     spec explanation.
   > IDEA - explore what an example set would look like if it were
     focused on features or tasks instead of XML elements. The example
     for <fig> doesn't exercise how someone actually uses <fig> with
     callouts etc..
     - https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita/blob/DITA-2.0/specification/langRef/base/fig.dita
   > IDEA - test each spec example and identify opportunities for collaboration and
     improvement. Not just throwing rocks.

4. Examples / samples by industry
   > AI/Keith - touch base with Leigh about possible samples/donations from
     medical market.
   > AI/Scott - touch base with Maria Essig and Bill burns about possible
     samples/donations from medical market.
   > AI/Stan - touch base with NANTHealth and Waters about posible
     samples/donations from Boston-area medical market.
   > AI/Stan - set up a wiki page for industry-specific samples.

5. Whitepapers
   a. Keith - "How keys should be implemented" whitepaper.
   b. Stan - DITA badging.
   c. Stan - quantifying obstacles to reuse.

6. AI/Stan - ATC meeting logistics:
   - Update the OASIS meeting calendar/notifications
   - Send an email to the ATC list re: new meeting cadence
     and fall dates.
     > Tuesday, November 6
     > Tuesday, December 4
     > Tuesday, January 8 /* change */
