Hi
Bruce,
Thanks
for taking minutes. Regarding item #4, on the broken links in the PDF file,
this issue was not resolved before the meeting. IIRC, there was an action item for
Seth to address the links that were broken as a result of the production
process, and another action item for Kris to fix the links to an obsolete
topic. I think Kris might have volunteered to fix the other broken links that
are in the source topics as well.

o http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201007/msg00012.html
(Sirois, 13 July 2010)
(Not XSD errata.) Eric Sirois will create a new package. Moving link to public
location requires TC vote. On next week's agenda.
3. ITEM: Kris's list of "items we failed to capture on a
wiki page"
o http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201007/msg00054.html
(Eberlein)
- Add consistent metadata to DITA files, especially copyright
- Clean up inconsistent tagging, especially vis-a-vis
normative terms
- Improve linking
- Correct any build errors
- Remove old revision tracking information
- Clean up SVN, remove any duplicate files
Agenda items 3 and 5 remain open for input, particularly from
Robert.
ACTION: Kris: combine items 3 and 5 on the agenda.
4. ITEM: PDF broken links
o reported by Su-Laine Yeo.
Resolved before start of meeting.
CLOSED
5. ITEM: DITA source file provenance (per Eberlein)
o "One item for today's meeting would be to better aggregate the
various items concerning the DITA source files that have been proposed for
activity during the public review. I've gone searching and located the
following lists:"
- Work plan: Items that can be completed during the public
review:
- http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/workPlan2
- DITA 1.2 specification: Authoring and editorial issues:
- http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_1.2_specifications%3A_Authoring_and_editorial_guidelines
Combine with item 3, see action there.
6. ITEM: Testimonials from organizations using DITA 1.2
o http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201007/msg00048.html
Seth listed a page for this. Needs a more prominent location. This location
needs to be publicly accessible, and the public needs to be able to edit so as
to provide their testimonials, but not able to modify others' submissions. Don:
they could use the comment mechanism, and someone on the TC could transcribe
into the internal location. Link to comments is on the TC's public frontpage.
ACTION: Don: add to agenda for next week item to step through this
process.
ACTION: JoAnn: update the Adoption TC paper on this.
7. ITEM: Conditional processing of rev attribute
o http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201007/msg00035.html
(Yeo)
ACTION: Don: track this comment and its resolution on the TC's
wiki.
ACTION: Kris: clear up ambiguities on this in the spec.
CLOSED
8. ITEM: Use of Syntax elements
o http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201007/msg00044.html
o Other inputs to gather? (Pickett, Vasquez, others?)
Tony will register this item on the Adoption TC's feature article list. Need to
advise him of relevant resources, such as Deborah Pickett's SVG handler.
Eric will look into IBM materials that can be released. The algorithm has been
documented for an inline WYSIWYG syntax editor developed at Cisco, and that
spec may be available.
CLOSED
9. Announcement: New white papers from DITA Adoption TC
o http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201007/msg00043.html
(Eberlein)
Noted with congratulations.
