RE: [dita-adoption] DATC Minutes for 30 August 2010

Thanks
Bruce. Gershon, could you please let me know when the "Tools and DITA
Awareness" article is on the wiki? 

Everyone:
If you have comments before the article is on the wiki and those comments call
for significant rework or expansion of the article, please send them to me
directly.

 

Cheers,

Su-Laine

Reviewed Open action items briefly.

 

Business

 

1. Discuss the process for getting the Asian Adoption SC up and running
(Varghese)

 

- Members urged to encourage new membership with an interest in the
Asian Adoption SC. Gershon has got three new people to join Oasis who will join
this TC, two from India and one from China. Matthew has two or three likely
prospects.

 

ACTION: JoAnn: Add Asian Adoption SC to home page 

ACTION: JoAnn: Clean up action items

ACTION: JoAnn: ask Carol Geyer to make an announcement in her weekly XML News.

 

2. ITEM: Discussion of the Tools Awareness article begun by Su-Laine.

 

- Gershon: some areas need more detail and depth. Cannot now point
to specifics, as it is too long since he reviewed it.

- Definition of DITA awareness: What does "appropriate styling" mean?

- A few relatively minor recommendations recorded by JoAnn for Su-Laine; general
consensus that this is appropriate for users evaluating tools, and a first step
in providing adopters a basis for evaluating claims by vendors.

 

ACTION: All: review this document during the next week.

 

We may be able to review this document in the wiki. Gershon is
working on a DITA-to-OASIS-Wiki plugin, will use this as working case. 

 

We will review and vote on this at our next meeting in two weeks.

 

3. ITEM: Review status of Feature Article assignments. Revise as necessary.

 

No change noted

 

4. ITEM:"Improved link management in DITA 1.2" feature
article (Kris Eberlein)

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-adoption/document.php?document_id=30211

Skipped. Su-Laine has offered to provide an initial draft.

 

5. ITEM: DITA tools evaluation checklists and test suite (Gershon)

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita-adoption/factSheet

 

- Gershon hoping to complete shortly so we can review before our
next meeting.

 

NEW ITEM: DITA 1.2 elements needing styling and translatable
strings (Yeo)

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-adoption/email/archives/201008/msg00016.html

 

- Briefly mentioned.

 

Adjourn 12:00 noon ET.
