ODF 1.2: Next Steps

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

The 60-day public review for the ODF 1.2 Candidate OASIS Standard which 
started on June 23 [1] ends today.  I have copied all public comments 
received during the review period to-date into JIRA. 

The next steps for the TC are described in TC Process 3.4.1:

"The TC must acknowledge the receipt of each comment, track the comments 
received, and post to its primary e-mail list the disposition of each 
comment at the end of the review period." [2]

In the past we've done this by indicating the resolutions in JIRA and then 
exporting this information from JIRA into a spreadsheet. This "disposition 
of comments report" is then checked into our doc repository and a link to 
it sent to the TC emailing list as well as the public comment list.   That 
satisfies our requirement to track and respond to each comment.

Barring any additional comments that arrive today, the last day of the 
review, the comments we need to report on are OFFICE-3702 through 
OFFICE-3716. 

As you've probably seen by now, I've taken a pass over these comments, the 
ones we discussed in today's TC call, as well as the others, and proposed 
resolutions for them.  In most cases the resolution was already implicit 
in the existing  comments, e.g., an enhancement for ODF 1.3 or an Errata 
item for ODF 1.2.

However, there are two issues for which I see no comments and no 
resolution:

http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3710
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3711

These are both from Thorsten Zachmann and are both related to 
draw:enhanced-path.  Could someone with expertise in graphics respond to 
these comments? 

Also, please review the resolutions I've entered in OFFICE-3702 through 
OFFICE-3716.  If there is any disagreement, now is the time to raise it. 

Regards,

-Rob
