Prep work for developing a strawman schedule for DITA 2.0
Before I can develop a strawman schedule for DITA 2.0, I need to
    assemble a list of work items. We also have some volunteer roles
    that need to be (re)filled.
    

      
Volunteer roles

      
DITAweb coordinator: Alan Houser was filling this
        position. The work involves:

      
        
Administering DITAweb

        
          
Creating user accounts

          
Resetting passwords

        
        
Setting up DITAweb reviews

        

        
Working with Congility as needed

      
      

          

      
Proposal work items

      
        
Issue 297 "Allow <example> in more places". The
          stage three proposal was approved, but I don't implement the
          proposal as authored. I tried. The changes are more complex
          and internecine than anyone thought, I think. I suspect that
          the stage three proposal needs to be redeveloped, tested
          thoroughly, and reapproved.

        
Issue 27 "Multimedia domain". We need a new proposal
          that does not assume compatibility with DITA 1.3.

      
      

          

      
Freeze date by which all proposals must be
            completed

      We have some proposals that must be in DITA 2.0, but are not yet
      complete. Off the top of my head, I think the multimedia domain
      and the loosening rules for attribute specializations are
      critical. We might want to sort current DITA 2.0 proposals into
      categories:

    

      
        
Must have

        
Nice to have

        
Can fall off the table

        

      
      
Freeze data by which no new proposals are
            accepted

      
This should be decided based on the date by which all new
        proposals must be completed.

      

      

      
Spec reviews of element reference content

          

      
Based on working
          draft #11, the last PDF that I generated for the TC on 27
        August 2019, we need to conduct DITAweb reviews of the following
        content:

      
        
TBD-- long list here, I think

      
      

        

      
Spec development work items

      
Editors need to edit the following topics/sections:

      
        
<abstract>

        
<bodydiv>

        
TBD -- long list here, I think

        

      
      
-- 

        Best,

        Kris
