Hi Christian:
The changes to the charter are:
Ø
Added reference to updating
the spec to 1.2 version in order to support Segmentation / Alignment
Ø
Changed version numbers
from 1.1 to 1.2 where relevant
Ø
Removed RTF from list of
representation guides to be delivered
Ø
Removed all references to
a reference implementation
Ø
Removed reference to Localisation
Directives Library (doesn’t seem to be any progress on this)
Ø
Added reference to working
with 3rd party group (IGNITE) to implement certification programme
The revisions are limited to the final
paragraph of the text and the list of deliverables and dates.
The OLD final
paragraph was:
The first phase, completed 31 October 2003, created a committee
specification that concentrated on
software UI resource file localisable
data requirements. The next phase consists
of promoting the adoption of
XLIFF throughout the industry through
additional collateral and
specifications, continuing to advance the
committee specification
towards an official OASIS standard,
contributing to the development of a
standard localisation directives tag
library and consuming it when
available, and defining and publishing an
implementation guide for
document based content that addresses
segmentation and alignment
requirements. To encourage adoption of
XLIFF, the TC will define and
publish implementation guides for the most
commonly used resource
formats (HTML, RTF, Window Resources, Java
Resource Bundles, and gettext
PO Files), and will include reference
implementations of XLIFF 1.1.
The NEW final
paragraph is now:
The first phase, completed 31
October 2003, created a 1.1 version committee
specification that concentrated on software UI
resource file localisable
data requirements. The next phase consists of
promoting the adoption of
XLIFF throughout the industry through additional
collateral and
specifications, continuing to advance the committee
specification
towards an official OASIS standard, contributing to
the development of a
standard localisation directives tag library and
consuming it when
available, and revising the XLIFF spec to 1.2 version
to support
document based content segmentation and alignment
requirements. To
encourage adoption of XLIFF, the TC will define and
publish implementation
guides for the most commonly used resource formats
(HTML, Window Resources,
Java Resource Bundles, and gettext PO Files).
The deliverables
have changed FROM (OLD):
XLIFF TC work and deliverables adhere to
OASIS IPR policy.
