Agenda: 1/ Roll call 2/ Approve September 1, 2009 meeting minutes: Accept, reject, or amend. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200909/msg00001.html 3/ Face to face meeting Munich, November 16, 17 A. Attendee list Yes: Bryan, and Rodolfo Maybe: Magnus, Asgeir, Dimitra, David, Christian No (yes to dial-in): Yves, Tony B. Rodolfo will check with JoAnn about meeting facility in Munich 4/ XLIFF 1.2 Errata Status Update A. Rodolfo will update the required documents and submit them for approval. B. Good news, Schemas, Samples, and Spec are all fixed and ready to be voted on 5/ Review Requirements for inline elements - Goal for today's meeting: clarify the scope and meaning of 3.1.3; resolve 3.1.5; resolve 3.1.6 (come to consensus on the requirements, then assign owners to propose wording for the spec) (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/OneContentModel/Requirements?action=show&redirect=Requirements) {here's my *score card*: 1.1. Definitions/Terminology "This section is under construction. " (additional examples have been added) 3.1.1. Common representation of 'inline' markup vs 'block-level' markup 1. [Resolved] 2. [Resolved] 3. [Resolved] 3.1.2. Canonical Representation of native content [Tabled (minutes: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200909/msg00001.html) "A roll call vote was held and it was agreed that discussion of canonical representation will be kept as a working item for further discussion." Bryan: We have spent many meeting cycles and cannot seem to agree on an answer to the question (with regard to defining scope) "Should there only be one physical representation for a given native representation (wrt codes, inline-markup, 'skeleton' data, sub-flows)?" So I request the interested parties establish a point/counterpoint email thread. When all points are documented I will conduct an email ballot to arrive at a "yes/no" decision - no later than 13-OCTOBER-2009] 3.1.3. Extensibility / Annotations ["Christian will modify item 3.1.3 and separate extensibility from annotations. Action item: Christian to extend the text to clarify the scope and meaning of the request.] 3.1.4. [Resolved] Content Manipulation 3.1.5. [Not yet addressed] XML Implementation 3.1.6. [Not yet addressed] General Scope} 6/ If something is valid XML and not disallowed explicitly by the specification, it means it is allowed?(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200906/msg00008.html) (Question captured from Yves' comment on Rodolfo's XLIFF Checker Tool) 7/ "XLIFF 2.0 will be complete when _______" There are two camps for filling in the blank A. 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) i. Yves commented that XLIFF is not a software. And we should be careful with releasing versions that do not have some specific features we know will ultimately end up there.

==========
Minutes: Present: Doug Domeny, Bryan Schnabel, Dimitra Anastasiou, Lucia Morado Vazquez, Rodolfo Raya, David Filip Regrets: Asgeir Frimannsson, Magnus Martikainen, Johann Roturier Rodolfo moved to approve previous minutes, Dimitra seconded and none objected. Bryan summarized his note about the goals to pursue during the meeting. Possible dates for a face-to-face meeting in Munich are November 16 and 17. Members are invited to confirm attendance as soon as possible so facilities can be arranged. Discussion on generic inline markup continued. Item 3.1.3 (Extensibility/Annotations) on the work list at the wiki was examined. It was agreed that current method is sufficient and provides a friendly way to extend or annotate, therefore no additional work is required. The TC agreed on inviting all tool developers to contribute their custom extensions to XLIFF for publishing in an open repository that the XLIFF TC would maintain. Dimitra invited everyone to attend Action week for Global Information Sharing (AGIS'09), a free event taking place in the University of Limerick 21 - 23 September 2009. Call dismissed.
