Set a calendar goal. All items that are complete and approved by the TC make it into XLIFF 2.0 - All others need to wait for the "next train," i.e., XLIFF 2.X or XLIFF 3. Special care needs to be taken to define doneness and ensure no dependency issues between items. And "XLIFF 2.0 is complete on set date of *Month/Day/Year*" - or - B. Define a finite set of XLIFF 2.0 items. Set a cutoff date for adding items. The list of accepted items becomes our requirements document. And "XLIFF 2.0 is complete when items 1 through X are finished" (some in this camp see our current set of goals, as is, as that finite list) 11/ XLIFF 2.0 Items (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking) Note: Much gratitude to Asgeir for consolidating our XLIFF 2.0 Items Note: This will serve as our tracking page for XLIFF 2.0. If any items were accidentally dropped in the conversion, please add them here Note: We will (I think) want to move the remaining items from here (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0) under the heading of "Content that is not yet migrated to tracking page" 12/ Reports from liaisons involved with other standards groups: A. W3C i18n B. Oscar C. LRC D. OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee E. OAXAL 13/ New Business +++++++++++++++++++++++

Minutes: Present: David Filip, Arle Lommel, Magnus Martikainen, Bryan Schnabel, Rodolfo Raya, Christian Lieske, Asgeir Firmannsson. Regrets: Tony, Yves, Doug Asgeir moved to accept previous meeting minutes. Rodolfo seconded and none opposed. Arle Lommel, chair of LISA’s OSCAR joined the TC. Bryan introduced the subject of compatibility with TMX 2.0. Arle mentioned that in last OSCAR call the consensus was to work together with the XLIFF TC, extending potential agreements beyond inline markup considerations. Bryan summarized the items related to TMX listed on the agenda. Christian mentioned that he would like to know the answers from OSCAR to the comments submitted by the XLIFF TC. The public review period for TMX 2.0 end on April 10, so there is time for submitting a document to OSCAR with official suggestions from the XLIFF TC. The possibility of creating a common namespace for inline markup to be used by XLIFF and TMX was discussed. Christian’s idea of defining common goals for XLIFF and TMX was analyzed and may be implemented. Bryan will try to summarize the items discussed and start an email thread for moving forward. Call dismissed.
