Minutes of the XLIFF TC October 1st, 2002

1/ Attendance: Jonathan Clark, Christian Lieske, Mat Lovatt, John Reid,
Yves
Savourel, Enda McDonnell, David Pooley, Gérard Cattin des Bois, Peter
Reynolds, Ian Dunlop, Bryan Schnabal.
Apologies: John Corrigan, Mark Levins, Tony Jewtushenko, Reinhard
Schaler

2/ Bryan Schnabal was welcomed as a new member of the TC.

3/ Minutes of the last meeting were read and agreed. John proposed them
as a
correct record and David seconded this.

4/ We noted Oasis new procedure for reviewing specs. This will now be
done
monthly instead of quarterly.

5/ XLIFF work in progress
Formal Extensibility - Yves mentioned that only John had sent him a
list of
values he would like included. The deadline for submitting values is
October
9th. Christian has suggested that we should look at the XUL
specification
and see if this or some of it can be used.
The issue of validating XLIFF if it uses another namespace was
mentioned.
Yves suggested one possibility was to not provide validation for
values. It
was decided that Jonathan and Peter would write to Karl Best and ask
how
other Oasis groups deal with this issue and we would decide on this
issue at
our next meeting.
Embedded XLIFF - There was some discussion as to how the localisation
directives proposal will work. Enda volunteered to try and use this
with
another schema to see how effective it would be.  Gerard was also asked
to
send the TC his thoughts on embedded XLIFF before the next meeting.
Embedded XLIFF will be the main topic at the next meeting.
Context-group - John has considered sending a proposal  to review the
context-group element but has decided against this at present.

6/ Schedule review and progress
It was agreed that October 9th would be the date for publishing the
next
version of the working draft. We will aim to have release candidate 1
by
October 29 but this is dependent on resolving all outstanding issues
before
then. It was agreed that as the Embedded XLIFF (Localisation
directives) was
the issue which needed most work and would be the primary agenda item
for
our next meeting. 

7/ Face to face meeting
This will take place on Monday November 4th. We will have a test run of
the
video conferencing facility on the preceding Friday. Jonathan has
offered
his teleconference facilities for the face to face meeting.
Yves and Christian's presentation to the LISA meeting will be on
November
6th.

8/ LRC conference
Patrick Gannon of Oasis is scheduled to speak at this.

9/ Next meeting: October 15th.
