Agenda: The TC approved this special one-off meeting to work on the representation guides, which we weren't able to address at our normal monthly TC teleconference due to time constraints. No voting shall take place at this meeting. Attendence at this working meeting will not count towards TC membership requirements. 1. Representation Guides: NOTE: We'll need to revise the documentation guides to be 1.2 compliant before releasing them along with the specification. a. HTML - final profile document was approved, with minor change made by Tony and reposted (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/email/archives/200507/msg00003.html). Document will be submitted to OASIS for public review once spec and all supporting XLIFF profiles documents are complete. This is to be modified for 1.2. Tony has volunteered to change this. We agreed to hold a meeting in two weeks time to look at the issues around represntation guides. This will happen on November 29th at the usual time. b. NET & Windows Resources Initial draft of .NET Profile: Latest draft of Windows Res Data Resources (revised 21 Sep 2005): http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00011.html c. Java Resource Bundles Latest Draft of Java Resources Profile: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14554/xliff-profile-java-1.1-draft-1.zip Although the TC provisionally agreed at last meeting to have a ballot starting September 30th, a number of issues arose during the review which require discussion in a teleconference. The issues are documented in the following mails: a. Handling escaping and replaceables in XLIFF -> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00013.html b. A number of issues in this email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00023.html 1/Differentiate between different Java platforms/versions 2/Address XML-based properties 3/Provide pointers to Java pages on internationalization 4/Sketch the Extract&Merge Paradigm 5/Handling of references (especially to non-textual resources) 6/Approach for comments c.survey of existing parsing tools ->http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00025.html These issues have not yet been addressed - need final word on escaping. d. PO Files: No licensing issues exist with the work that was submitted to the XLIFF TC by Paul Gampe. The proposed final PO file document submitted for ballot: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14854/xliff-profile-po.zip The ballot achieved a simple majority, and therefore PASSED and results are here: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot.php?id=851 This representation guide will now be distributed along with the other resource type guides.
