http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00007.html
(note,  October meeting was not in quorum - last quorate meeting 20 Sept 05)

3/ Work in Progress: 
A. XLIFF 1.2 Specification update issues: 

Two drafts of the XLIFF 1.2 spec have been distributed : 

  draft-xliff-core-1.2-20051411: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200511/msg00003.html
  draft-xliff-core-1.2-20051411b: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200511/msg00004.html

Discuss if the work on 1.2 spec is complete,  especially with reference to additional modifications suggested by Magnus in this mail: ->http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00022.html
Summary of Magnus' proposal: 
1/deprecate a number of attributes used exclusively for file-format specific uses
2/Relax the requirement for name atribute in context group, and allow it to be optional.
3/Add extension point at xliff level to support custom xliff document wide metadata.
4/Deprecate  element in favour of using xid
5/Deprecate the restype attribute in favour of using the  element

At the last teleconference, although not in quorum,  the participants recommended that we adopt only items 2 and 3,  and defer the others to a subsequent release.

B. Representation Guides: 
NOTE:  We'll need to revise the documentation guides to be 1.2 compliant before releasing them along with the specification.

a. HTML - final profile document was approved, with minor change made by Tony and reposted (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/email/archives/200507/msg00003.html). Document will be submitted to OASIS for public review once spec and all supporting XLIFF profiles documents are complete. 

b. NET & Windows Resources 
Initial draft of .NET Profile: 
Latest draft of Windows Res Data Resources (revised 21 Sep 2005): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00011.html

c. Java Resource Bundles 
Latest Draft of Java Resources Profile: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14554/xliff-profile-java-1.1-draft-1.zip 

Although the TC provisionally agreed at last meeting to have a ballot starting September 30th, a number of issues arose during the review which require discussion in a teleconference. The issues are documented in the following mails: 

a. Handling escaping and replaceables in XLIFF -> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00013.html
b. A number of issues in this email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00023.html
1/Differentiate between different Java platforms/versions
2/Address XML-based properties
3/Provide pointers to Java pages on internationalization
4/Sketch the Extract&Merge Paradigm
5/Handling of references (especially to non-textual resources)
6/Approach for comments
c.survey of existing parsing tools ->http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00025.html 

These issues have not yet been addressed - need final word on escaping.

d. PO Files: 
No licensing issues exist with the work that was submitted to the XLIFF TC by Paul Gampe.
The proposed final PO file document submitted for ballot: 	http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14854/xliff-profile-po.zip
The ballot achieved a simple majority,  and therefore PASSED and results are here: 	http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot.php?id=851

This representation guide will now be distributed along with the other resource type guides.

C. Open issues: 
a. Translation of Voice XML Issues 
~ Open until resolution of namespace issue. 
- Action Item: Mat will submit a proposal on how to handle Voice XML issues. 
Initial: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00016.html 
Latest Update: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00017.html 

Await update from Mat on any concrete proposals... 
Mat was not online and we need to resolve the namespace issue. 

b. Extending XLIFF with separate namespaces. Addressing this issue is deferred until the new year (when Andzrej has volunteered to spend some time on research). 

4/XLIFF TC Re-Charter:
The revision to our version number,  delivery dates as well as dropping a number of deliverables means we must recharter our TC.  A proposed charter revision was sent to the group,  and is available to review at the following URL-> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200511/msg00005.html

We'll review and hopefully be ready to conduct a ballot or agree to an online ballot.

5/XLIFF 1.2 Certification activities: 
There is some planning work under way to introduce a certification programme for tools providers who will be generating XLIFF. The programme will be external but the TC will have opportunity to influence and approve testing and certification process. Additional details will be presented by Reinhard as they develop.

Overview of the ignite program which the LRC has proposed and had accepted as an EU project. See:
