=== 4/ Charter Draft (David F.)
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201106/msg00003.html)
a. ACTION ITEM: All to read David's plan and comment as needed.
b. Last straw poll, "should David continue to work on the Program Charter"
received 2 yes, 9 abstain, 0 no. Let's see if people have formed opinions
and try another vote.

Rodolfo: still abstain because it's not essential (may be useful)
Not sure DavidF needs to focus on this

Arle: many things are undefined. So maybe yes DavidF need to add to it so we see more.

DavidF: agree with Rodolfo about not an essential thing, more like a reference point.
Help in keeping things in scope, for example.
Do we agree on the definitions?

Rodolfo: definitions look fine.
Arle: +1

DavidF: will make another iteration of the charter.

--- 5.1. Rodolfo has submitted XLIFF 2.0 work to SVN
a. Rules around contributing/editing
b. recommendations for Docbook tools (commercial and open source)

Bryan: Rodolfo, input on SVN and how to edit the documents?
Rodolfo: can write the main parts, Yves can work on the inline markup parts
Available on SVN.
I use eclipse and oXygen. Works fine.

Bryan: Rodolfo drives/edits/coordinates as needed.
Rodolfo: early schema is there. Could use the terminology feature as a template for a module (just as an example).
DavidF: will the modules be in trunk?
Rodolfo: yes, trunk is the living doc
We can tag milestones as we go
We can use branches for alternatives if needed

ACTION ITEM: all to look at proposed features and be ready to take ownership.
