BUSINESS:

1. Action Items:
    - 26 April 2016: Robert Anderson: Add many, many items to Wiki pages (COMPLETED)

2. Announcements: none

3. Continuing item DITA 1.3 errata
    - Link: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA%201.3%20Errata
    - Kris re-ordered page into categories and set up @rev, fixing all that can be
       fixed for now.
    - Still many open content model topics
    - Catalog files: Robert will complete by next week.
    - Code to generate topic models needs to be updated and tested.

ACTION ITEM: Robert and Eliot: work together to update and test content model
      generation software.

    - Style sheets: Bob working to make stylesheets for errata more automated,
       especially the way they handle metadata.

ACTION ITEM: Nancy and Bob: work together to create metadata requirements
       for builds, specifically, what needs to be automated for builds. Will consult
       with Kris.
       
    - SEO: need someone to take on task of figuring out how we can improve
       Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for errata. Keith Schengili-Roberts will
       take on the task of researching this area. Keith said that metadata may
       not do the job. Google ignores Dublin Core metadata, but may look at
       RDF metadata.
    - Schedule: would like to get 1.3 errata out by December; it would be nice
       to have it out before DITA Europe.

       Joe set up with permissions to work in DITAweb as an admin.

       to consider holding sessions in their local area or while traveling.
