6. Future of DocBook
    No major changes in the near future.
    Some discussion about Markdown/AsciiDoc. We don't see an immediate need for the TC
    to address simplified markup languages for DocBook.
    Bob: should we consider promoting DocBook more strongly, esp. since assemblies provide good
    support for modular methodologies.
    Scott: worthwhile to do some promotion
    Scott: we should consider support to deliver DocBook content to augmented reality platforms.
    Scott: there is an augmented reality committee at OASIS, which is still in early stages and moving slowly.
    Scott: possibly add hooks/metadata that would make it easier to integrate content into AR systems.
    TC agreed that we will keep an eye on these standards and projects.
    Scott: we may also want to consider delivery to eLearning platforms.
    Scott is on the DITA TC eLearning subcommittee, so he will keep an eye on that work.
    Here are a few links related to AR and eLearning:
    AR: https://developer.apple.com/arkit/
    AR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Reality_Markup_Language
    AR: https://github.com/jeromeetienne/ar.js
    eLearning: http://tincanapi.com/
    ACTION: Bob will use this information to put together a note to complete Action f.
