New ITEM: Data types and default values * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00000.html (Anderson) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00017.html (Grosso's recommendation) Paul Grosso and Robert Anderson recapped the discussion. General consensus that the specification needs to use XML terms and DTD syntax, but that there is a need for Adoption Committee to devise materials that help bridge the gap between technical specifications and information that general users need to know. Su-Laine Yeo asked whether the specification could point to Wiki pages for discussion. Don suggested that the spec point to specific, normative resources for XML information. Don Day raised the issue that the XHTML version of the spec is referenced by several help systems. Michael Priestley reminded us that we do not have the opportunity to post a version of the spec (whether official or unofficial) somewhere where people can add comments or annotate it. Michael Priestley suggested that we raise the issue again on general OASIS communication lists. Su-Laine Yeo again suggested that specific parts of the spec link to resources on dita.xml.org. Michael asked whether we could bring other TCs (such as ODF) into the discussion. Su-Laine Yeo also suggested linking the spec to non-normative sites. Actions: 1) Michael Priestley will send e-mail to Gershon, presenting background on this issue. 2) Gershon will take this item to the OASIS DITA Adoption Committee, ask them to open discussion with OASIS about ways to make specification commentable. 3) People should give suggestions of non-normative sites to Robert Anderson (via e-mail). 4.
