DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 13 May 2008
Chaired by Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>
Minutes recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com>
The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 13 May 2008 at 08:00am PT for
60 minutes.
1. Roll call
We have quorum.
2. Approve minutes from previous business meeting:
* date : 6 May 2008
* URL : http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00014.html
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00018.html (Ogden comment)
Accepted by acclamation.
3. Business:
1. ITEM: Subcommittee reports (as needed)
* Note: We'll try a standing item here for a while, for better TC/SC
efficiency and communication.
2. ITEM: DITA Adoption SC -- OASIS suggestions by Mary McRae
Mary addressed the TC on the benefits of having the DITA Adoption be a
full TC rather than a SC.
The TC requested further discussions on this item before making any
decision (though no decision or vote is required to form a TC).
ACTION: Mary and Don will invite the ODF Adoption TC chair (Erwin
Tenhumberg) to join our TC meeting for a questions and answers session,
to find out what works and what's not working with the "Adoption group
as a TC" model.
CONTINUED.
3. ITEM: mime type for DITA -- OASIS comment about process
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00012.html (Hennum, draft 2)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00011.html (McRae)
Mary: Any registration must happen at the OASIS level, since a TC has
a termination point and the TC members come and go, therefore OASIS
staff should be the contacts.
ACTION: Erik to remind folks on the list to respond to the fragment
question.
CONTINUED.
4. ITEM: DITA 1.2 Packages
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00023.html (OASIS comment about process)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00025.html (Ogden comeback proposal)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200805/msg00026.html (Hunt amendment to Learning SC package)
Mary: There can be only one standard. For public review, spec votes,
OASIS standard ballot, etc. must all contain everything the TC wants to
be considered the standard. The TC must package only a specification.
Packages can be assembled outside of the official OASIS spec.
Mary suggested the DITA-OT could offer packages.
Gershon suggested the dita.xml.org site could do that.
The TC could provide best practice documents on how to package modules
for a particular profile (e.g. machinery industry).
Anything like this needs to be voted on by the TC as committee draft.
For it to be a spec, it needs to go through the full spec process.
Discussion about the packages. Essentially each package is a profile,
so the spec needs to address conformance in terms of the profiles.
--out of time; meeting adjourned--
