Thoughts on the F2F agenda

[Kevin O'Donnell <kevinod@microsoft.com>]

I haven’t seen any agenda for the XLIFF TC F2F meeting yet, so wanted to share some ideas for consideration. This is just food for thought – I’m interested in hearing what else people want to discuss and/or what default agenda items are planned.

 

·        Completion of XLIFF 2.0:

o   Review any public comments / formulate response or recommendation

o   Plan timeframe and activities between now and release of XLIFF 2.0

·        Promotion of XLIFF 2.0:

o   How should this happen, what are the targets, how will we track progress?

o   Does it need a dedicated subcommittee?

o   How will we collect feedback from industry during 2.0 adoption/rollout?

o   What is needed to create healthy ecosystem around 2.0?

·        Consider certification authority for XLIFF 2.0 compatible tools?

o   Independent body that could certify compliance of XLIFF 2.0 tools, to encourage correct adherence to standard

·        Discuss process for making extensions publicly available and nominating them into the standard

·        Conformance criteria for XLIFF 2.0

o   What/how/when/etc. – I haven’t seen much detail regarding this

·        Future for XLIFF standard

o   Do we need 2.1, 2.2, etc. or do we jump to 3.0? What timeline should we consider for future versions?

o   Brainstorm potential features/direction for XLIFF 3.0

§  Convergence / connection with other standards

Thanks,
