Minutes: Present: Doug Domeny, Eric Mader, Bryan Schnabel, Rodolfo Raya, Milan Karasek, Tony Jewtushenko, Asgeir Frimannsson, Christian Lieske and Magnus Martikainen. Rodolfo moved to accept the minutes of the previous meeting, Magnus seconded and none opposed. The following topics were discussed: • Bryan mentioned that the DITA XLIFF presentation was successful. The recordings and presentation materials will be linked to the TC home page. • Face to face meeting: four voting members will be in Wiesbaden during TEKOM and that’s a good opportunity for meeting. Wednesday afternoon seems to be the ideal time. Bryan is trying to arrange the facilities with TEKOM organizers. Tony suggested contacting Mary McRae to check if it would be possible to have guests in the meeting. • Bryan summarized the changes needed for XLIFF 1.2.1, noting that they are necessary for XLIFF 2.0. • Doug committed to finish the schemas for XLIFF 1.2.1. We may need help for maintain the schemas for XLIFF 2.0 • Rodolfo will host the specification and schemas drafts in CVS. Once they are approved by the TC, we will ask Mary to upload milestones to the official OASIS repository. • While discussing the goals for XLIFF 2.0, Rodolfo requested to move item 4 of the Potential goals (Define a multi-lingual "Localisation Kit" format) to “Must Have” feature. • Asgeir suggested connecting the page with goals to the page with ideas using links. The “Goals” page will list the list of features and the “Ideas” page will include the development details. • Rodolfo’s request about <seg-source> content has been addressed. Split operations can be done with the new segmentation system; Merge operations still need to be discussed. • Magnus suggested to create a new attribute identifying the target of a note when it is a <mrk> element. Christian suggested using ITS markup for that. Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that if this is the only use for ITS, it might be overkill. Bryan suggested delaying the resolution until we know if the attribute suggested by Magnus is enough or if we really need to incorporate ITS. Magnus will draft an implementation on the “Ideas” page. • Christian commented that the need for allowing XML in skeletons is still there. Bryan noted that there was a discussion and possible implementations have been proposed. Christian will review them. • Asgeir mentioned that we need to clean up the schemas for version 2.0, putting only the essential stuff in the core implementation. Magnus agreed, stating that this idea motivated him to propose this change in last face to face meeting. • Bryan will send out details for the face to face meeting when he has the agenda items. Call dismissed.
