  • 1.  Validation state in XLIFF 2.0

    Hi all,
    
    What is the process to follow to add possible features to 2.0? (not content-related)
    
    For example, I'd like the issue of the approved/state attribute to be solved. Should I just add an item in the wiki?
    
    
    Just a summary:
    
    Currently a trans-unit can have a approved attribute set to "yes' and the state attribute of the

    Hi Yves,
    
    I think you can go to this page http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking and find the text at the bottom of the page that says 'To create a new Feature, please use the form below, and enter a wiki-name such as "NameOfMyFeature" that identifies this feature. You will also need to edit this page and include the feature under the relevant section.' This is the tool Asgeir built for adding XLIFF 2.0 features for consideration.
    
    As we have informally identified Asgeir as the Wiki Gardener, it might be prudent to ask him to comment on this procedure as well.
    
    By the way, I am also in favor of just using the state attribute to track status, and deprecating "approved."
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bryan

    Thanks Bryan, I missed that bottom line.
    I'll wait for Asgeir's input.
    Thanks

    Hi Yves,
    
    Yes, I think at this stage we should just follow the 'pattern' used for the other features.
    
    The easiest way is probably just to navigate to an url like:
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/Feature/Blah
    
    (Blah is here the descriptive wikiname title for your feature)
    
    Then select create new page by clicking on the template called 'FeatureTemplate' on that page. That will fill in the information you need.
    
    ...or you could as Bryan mention use the information at the bottom of the feature-tracking page.
    
    Hope this makes sense - Suggestions to improvement welcomed :)
    
    cheers,
    asgeir

    Asgeir,
    
    I just used your feature/template to add the conformance clause feature to our list.  And it worked great. I think this tool and your directions are pretty straightforward.
    
    And I also added the conformance clauses requirement to our XLIFF 1.2.1 quick turn requirements page.
    
    Thanks,
