Scott reported that the Publishers subcommittee met last week,
and agree to start on version 1.1 of the Publisher's schema.
They closed three tickets, and will post a call to the mailing
list for suggestions for new features.

5b.  Google Summer of Code

Dick suggested that if we have projects for mentored students,
we should add them to a DocBook proposal.  He has set up
a Wiki site at docbook.xmlpress.net.  There is a small
stipend for mentors.   The deadline for proposal is
early March, so action is required soon.
Dick said he would write the proposal.

The committee agreed that we have completed this phase of the work
and need to roll it out.  We await Norm's update to the schema
and Bob's update to the stylesheets.
