TEAM ACTION ITEMS
01. Team: Revisit the notes from our 10-06 LwDITA discussion (see below).

02. Team: Add comments to the DITA User's Guide wiki, especially
         the section on tasks:
          > https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita-adoption/DITA_User_Guide
03. Team: Brainstorm - How could we update our sample ATC techpapers and
          samples -> DITA 2.0 and in so doing capture the upgrade 
          costs and issues.
04. Team: Brainstorm - What would an initial list of techpapers on 
          DITA 2.0 subjects look like. 
          > Example: Use intelligent key usage approach as an
            alternative to filtering > DITAVAL profiling (best practice).

INDIVIDUAL ACTION ITEMS
01. Stan: Add to November agenda two topics for discussion
    a. How do we identify (and possibly inventory) the most useful tools
	   for groups in a DITA migration?
	b. Can we recommend to groups in a DITA migration sources or approaches
	   to finding very specific tools or solutions. For example, how
	   would a group find a plug-in or tool that would convert inline
	   <xref>s to reltables entries?
02. Stan: Touch base with KrisE and RobertA about the availability of 
    the new OASIS TC stylesheets. 	
03. Gershon: Update Word file on localization financials, convert to wiki,
    and post.
04. Kathy: Ping WHP (Dominique Touche). Perhaps invite them to join
    us for a chat. 
05. Kathy: Ditto for Kit Brown-Hoekstra (STC). 
06. Keith - go through 2019 ConVEx presentations and ask presenters to post
    PPTs to SlideShare c/o Adoption TC. Mitchell B-25 preso.  
07. Stan - Check in with Chet/OASIS on the whitepaper/master 
    nomenclature. Using "techpaper" instead of "whitepaper" 
    in the meantime.

   c. Samples/grammars are available now on GitHub:
      > https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita-lwdita/tree/spec

2. Subsequent development for LwDITA 1.x will involve 
   experiments without release commitments.
