   o  Actions needed to update info?

> Probably no, it doesn't do anything. As Bruce said it just got pulled in with the attribute group. Some of the other attributes in the group are appropriate and needed. Robert will send his assessment to the alias.

OPEN


8. NEW ITEM: DITA 1.2 Survey results
   o  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201104/msg00006.html (Summary, posted by Buchholz)
   o  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201104/msg00007.html (Full, ")

> We stepped through the summary of results PPT that Thilo and JoAnn produced. Appears to be representative (24 distinct companies), albeit with not as many responses as we would wish. Thilo will send PDF because open source software did not display slide 4 of the PPT properly. We need to revieew and discuss the more detailed documents as well as the summary. We will discuss further how to apply this information, particularly to the problem of perceived complexity.
