Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] DocBook Charter
/ "Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org> was heard to say: | Norm: | | May I offer some suggestions? Of course. You pointed me to SAML as a good template to steal from and that's what I did. | The Process requires a bit more | information under each of these sections. | |> Name |> The official name is the DocBook Technical Committee. It is sometimes |> unofficially called the "DocBook TC" or the "DocBook committee". | | How about just: "The name of the TC is the OASIS DocBook Technical | Committee." (Don't include any unofficial names.) Ok. |> Statement of Purpose |> The purpose of this committee is to develop and maintain the DocBook |> family of specifications. In particular, this Technical Committee |> maintains the XML and SGML DocBook schemas, a suite of extension |> modules, and a simplified authoring subset of DocBook. The Technical |> Committee plans to support a variety of schema languages and may |> develop additional modules and derived document types. | | The statement of purpose is suppose to include "a definition of the | problem to be solved." The DocBook TC is largely a maintainance organization at this point, do you have any suggestions for how that might be phrased in accordance with the process document? |> Scope of Work |> The TC is engaged in evolving the suite of DocBook specifications. |> The |> scope of the DocBook TC will be guided by the above Statement of |> Purpose. This effort will deliver on the following goals: |> * Address issues and enhancement requests that have arisen from |> experience with real-world DocBook implementations. |> * Add support for features that were deferred from previous |> versions of DocBook. | | The scope should include a statement of what is out of scope as well. Uhm. Ok. I guess. I'll take a stab at that. |> List of Deliverables |> The TC expects to update the following specifications to reflect |> issues and enhancements adopted by the TC. |> * The DocBook SGML Document Type |> * The DocBook XML Document Type |> * Simplified DocBook |> * The DocBook EBNF Module |> * The DocBook HTML Forms Module |> * The DocBook MathML Module |> * The DocBook SVG Module | | These should have delivery dates (e.g. "DocBook XML Docuemnt Type v4.0 | will be completed by 4Q 2004"). Yeah, fair enough.
