    Dear all,

    Please find below last Tuesday's meeting minutes.

    Best,

    Lucía

    ....

    Attendance: Mihai, Rodolfo, Lucía, we have quorum.

    Administration

    R: I move to approve March 18, meeting minutes – https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/meeting-minutes-15

    L: I second.

    R: Meeting minutes approved.

    Technical

    XLIFF 2.2. Committee Specification. https://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.2/cs01/xliff-core-v2.2-cs01-part1.html

    New translation memory standard.

    R: There is still an editorial issue with one of the links (Rodolfo explains them), the OASIS administrator has been informed and she will looked into it.

    L: I will send her a reminder.

    R: That is all we have for today on that topic. Once we have the technical issue solved, we will announce the new version of the standard.

    New translation memory standard.

    M: I asked OKAPI people how they feel about it. Having a new spec based on XLIFF. They said that it was a good idea.

    R: That is good news that they think is a good idea, Okapi is used along the industry.

    M: We used XLIFF as a TM.

    R: We need to write a document explaining how to use it properly.

    M: We might also need to check if we want to incorporate some of the features that are in TMX, like the fact that it can contain more than two languages.

    R: we can start drafting something. I wrote the spec of TMX 2.0. It got released for public review before LISA bankrupt. The inline elements were from XLIFF. We could do something like that.

    M: I also agree that we can reuse instead of redefining everything.

    R: We need to have a parent element that allows us to be multilingual and not just bilingual.  We can reuse other elements/attributes. It is a matter of starting working on it. I propose that we wait for XLIFF 2.2 to be announced and then we will start working on it.

    L: I agree. No new business for today, meeting adjourned.
