DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 3 October 2006

(Recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com>)

The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 3 October 2006 at 08:00am PT
for 60 minutes.

1.  Roll call 

    We have quorum.

2.  Approve minutes[1] from previous meeting (26 Sept)

    Accepted by acclamation (moved by Don, seconded by Michael)

3.  Business:

    ITEM 1: Canvas for TC additional TC rep on Machine Subcommittee (Kravogel)
        
        Chris updated the TC on the current SC member list. Currently Chris is 
        the only DITA TC member, and would like another one or two DITA TC 
        members on the SC. In addition, none of the SC members are currently 
        active in the machine industry, and ideally prefer at least one or 
        two SC members who are currently active in the industry.

        ACTION: Chris to invite TC and DITA-users and we'll see who accepts. 
        Revisit this item next week.

    ITEM 2: Ongoing review of 1.1 drafts:

        Architectural Spec[2] (Michael Priestley)

            Michael: Some reviewers suggested reorganization of some chapters 
                since it's currently difficult to follow. TC agreed for Michael
                to go ahead and rearrange as needed -- reorg based on 
                functionality instead of based on attributes.
                Also add a topic that summarizes indexing.

        Language Spec[3] (Don Day)

        XSDs[4]

        DTDs[5]

    ITEM 3: Indexing updates (Paul Grosso)

        index-see proposed wording[6]

        index-sort-as proposed wording changes[7]

            Bruce: Global sort order can be set externally to the XML in the 
            publishing application, and therefore should not be set by the 
            author at the index term level.

        index-see-also proposed wording[8]

        indexterm proposed wording[9]

        DECISION: TC agrees to accept Paul's proposed changes to the lang spec
        referenced above.

4.  Announcements/Opens

    None.

-- Meeting adjourned at 09:00 --
