10.  slides schema/assembly

Larry reported on his work to use DocBook assembly for
slides.  He found no advantages for a simple ad hoc set of
slides, but it could be very useful when reusing content
from DocBook documents in slides.  He also saw potential
in eLearning situations.

He had problems using the new slides stylesheets.
Jirka asked about support in Oxygen XML editor for slides.
We would need to get the new slides working in
DocBook XSL distributions, since that is what Oxygen uses.


11.  Review of Requests for Enhancement

*****************************************
Note that SourceForge renumbered all tracker 
items during the recent project upgrade.
The unique numbers across projects have been
replaced by a new sequence within each tracker
(now called Tickets).  You can still search
on the old tracker number.  I include the
new ticket numbers below.
