Tony proposed and David seconded this. 3/ Work in Progress: A. Representation Guides: 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. Tony is waiting until we have the PO document available as well and these will be sent out for review together. b. NET & Windows Resources Topic moved to Profiles SC. Florian will not be able to attend the TC meeting, Tony expressed concern that we may not be able to make sufficient progress at this point. We had a debate about whether we needed to do the profile work for this as part of the 1.1 release. We will continue the review of the .NET work but will not commit to deliver this or the WIN 32 profile as part of the 1.1 release. Tony will compile the information we have at present for review and send this to the TC. c. Java Resource Bundles Topic moved to Profiles SC. Tony has submitted an initial profile document for java resource bundles Tony to provide update on Java Resource bundle profile work. This is near completion and has been posted d. PO Files: Proposed Profile document submitted by Paul Gampe: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200505/msg00011.html Will review, discuss and schedule TC ballot to approve as TC spec. This work is complete. Tony asked for comments on this. Doug mentioned some issues with their suggestions including how the proposal deals with back-slashes. Doug will email the group with his suggestions. Christian asked whether there was a complete XLIFF file which could be validated as having gone through this profile. There is also a typo in the code extract in 3.3 (just above 3.4). This has two source elements rather than a source and target. It was agreed that this is an excellent piece of work. We will review it by mail with a view to having this an agreed profile. Tony will ask to Paul if there is an XLIFF file available. The cut-off date for the review will be two weeks time. B. Open issues: a. Translation of Voice XML Issues ~ Open until resolution of namespace issue from Representation Guides. - Action Item: Mat will submit a proposal on how to handle Voice XML issues. Initial: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00016.html Latest Update: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00017.html Mat will present proposals at our next meeting. b. Extending XLIFF with separate namespaces. This is a new topic to investigate and research industry best practices for extending XML vocabularies with private or other public namespaces. Main issue relates to how and whether to permit extension for known namespaces only, and if so, which ones? What is the mechanism for limiting the extensions? Tony asked whether anyone will be able to take this on. Andrzej said he would like to but would not be able to do so until later in the year. 4/ Segmentation SC: Ballot to approve both documents passed -> http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot.php?id=766. This will be submitted to OASIS for public review. 5/ Reports from liaisons involved with other standards groups: A. W3C i18n Christian reported that ITS group was making good progress and asked that TC members look at what they were doing and make comments. B. Oscar Andrzej reported the Gilt Matrix standard has been sent to review. TBX standard has gone out for review. XML-TM has been accepted as an OSCAR standard. See http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/email/archives/200507/msg00006.html (There may be an issue with this URL as the mail was not shown in the email list when I posted the minutes) C. Trans-WS Peter reported back that the TC was completing the specification and was being done in XHTML. Some members of OASIS such as Robin Cover and Mary McRae got involved in this discussion and suggested we should review the AIR proposals and see whether XHTML should be accepted. Tony will open a ballot on this issue 6/Events: OASIS Adoption Forum in the UK: Anyone planning to attend? http://www.oasis-open.org/events/adoption_forum_2005/ It may be a good time for a TC F2F... Tony suggested this event would be a good time for a face to face. He will send a mail to the TC on this. 7/All other business - none.
