See also minutes/action items from 10 January 2023. COMPLETED - Eliot; now that I've done this, which led to questions about 'how does it apply to direction & language?', I don't think I still have an action item, do I? - Kris; I'll check, probably not. Kris & Robert: Consider Eliot's latest e-mail about Cascading attribute values and consider where adjustments are need in regard to text and examples 06 June 2023: Kris: Share DITA TC bookmarks Eliot: Respond to dita-comment e-mail (https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-comment/202304/msg00000.html) - Kris; I worked on backlog; we'll discuss later in meeting 5. E-mails on dita-comment a. DITA 2.0 Learning and Training Content specialization https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-comment/202305/msg00001.html ([email protected], 24 May 2023) - Kris; 1.3 L&T stuff is in our 2.0 repo; Scott and Eliot, will you take on task of updating L&T to 2.0? - Eliot; yes, Dawn, did you have content to contribute? - Dawn; yes, Brianna had done a bunch, will check with her. ***ActionItem: Dawn will check with Brianna on extent to which she's updated L&T for 2.0. ***ActionItem: Scott and Eliot will start to update L&T files to work with 2.0 base. ***ActionItem: Eliot will respond to dita-comment item on L&T from 24 May 2023. b. is there a DITA 2.0 homepage with links to the latest draft specification? https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-comment/202306/msg00000.html ([email protected], 14 June 2023) - Kris; we probably want to point him to the publicly acccesible pages for draft DITA spec and draft techcomm spec; can someone do that? - Eliot; I can do that - Scott; he's already gotten a PDF... - Kris; but it's a specific PDF, not the page with the updated versions, which will always give him the latest one. If we give him the publicly accessible pages for those 2 PDFs, he can always get the updated versions. - Eliot; what is the page? - Kris; I go from the TC public front page -> documents -> drafts https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php? document_id=70699&wg_abbrev=dita for base - Eliot; I can find the one for techcomm. ***ActionItem. : Eliot will respond to dita-comment item on getting the latest draft spec, from 14 June 2023. 6. DITA 2.0 backlog DITA 2.0 Backlog - Kris; for overview of content; primary question is; are these topics eneeded? I'll volunteer for abbrev forms because I'm working with Mayo's botched use of it. any other volunteers? especially for glossary ref? - Eliot; I'll take that, along with gloss entry, gloss group, and glossgroup, but NOT the whole list of glossary ref elements. Christina; I could do overview DITA topics. - Kris; I'd like everyone to take the basic DITA stuff and see if we really need them. We still need overviews, but we need to reassess what should actually be in there. - Robert; When I look at it, it appears to be original PR for when DITA was new. I still think having it makes sense, but it's not a requirement for 2.0; and in any case, is this the right content? - Scott; and also, is this the appropriate location for it? - Christina; it actually looks like 'concepts around using DITA', rather than the elements themselves, so maybe it should be in something called 'How DITA Works'? - Robert; I don't think it's a problem to have a section like this, but I don't know if this is all correct. - Leroy; I do think it needs to be in the spec, or else easliy linked to from spec. - Christina; definitely, there should be a way to easily access this from spec. - Leroy; what's the problem with keeping it in? looking at specs, if content moves from version to version, it can be a problem if it moves around in the spec. - Robert; I think it's fine to leave it in, but it's written as a PR announcement for DITA, as if DITA is still brand new. - Kris; 2.0 is a major release, and we've done a major overhaul for spec content; we need to do same thing with this. We haven't so far; the DITA contents section probably hasn't been touched since 1.2.. . Wrt overview of DITA maps, I overhauled that content for 1.2 and moved it into the section on DITA maps and their usage; we need to see if this is appropriate and how should we say it. e.g. some content should actually be single-sourced from our @ sections. Christina, I'd be glad to put your name next to DITA topics. - Christina; I'll look at it with a fresh set of eyes; there's a lot of good stuff, but maybe it can use some work. - Leroy; I'd like to work on this with you. - Kris; if it would help to have me present, I'd be happy to be there. - Kris; please everyone look at this stuff - Leroy; I'm glad L&T will still be in 2.0. - Kris; L&T will not be in 2.0, but we'll update it to so it supports 2.0. We just didn't have the resources to work on it. 12 noon ET close -- Ms. Nancy Harrison Document Name : DITA TC Meeting Minutes 18 July 2023 No description provided.
