5. Review prototypes of documentation for the various packages (base, technical content, and complete). The Kavi repository now holds a ZIP file that contains CHM and PDF file versions for each of the three packages:
o http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201002/msg00032.html (Eberlein, 8 February 2010)
o Action from previous meeting: Kristen to double-check on OASIS HTML requirements for specs
o Anything to discuss this week ahead of closing this item? (Don suggests we can close this today. See Sanity Check below as revised New ITEM.)
>The "how to" item is closed; moves to general tracking.
>Regarding "packaging"--Kristen reminded us that this was not fully decided last week. Gershon asked for discussion.
>Gershon moved to have a single document (HTML and PDF and source) with both parts in one deliverable (arch and lang ref) with all TC-approved specializations. Kristen seconded. Jeff asked about outputs--Kristen checked with Mary (editable source, PDF, HTML required). Bruce asked about users being able to produce subsets--Don noted this was the intent of the production topic that Stan is working on. No objections; motion carries.
>Jeff asked about zip file grouping. Do we also go back to a single zip? Gershon noted that Adoption TC is working on supporting the Jarno tool for generating shells, so this idea is certainly okay--divides spec from practice. Discussion about merits of one vs several zips. Consensus to go with 3 zips: 1 for DTDs, 1 for XSDs, one for DITA Source. Jeff wonders what constitues the single spec? More discussion.
Single zip, followed by sublinks for overview (html), PDF single , HTML (set for the map), DITA Source, DTDs, XSDs as independent zips. Consensus on this plan. The packaging aspect is closed; note continuation of how to below.
6. Acknowledgments in DITA 1.2 spec -- what should they contain?
o http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201002/msg00033.html (Eberlein, 9 February 2010)
>Kristen summarized. Concerns are how to avoid leaving out anyone who has done a lot of work. Consensus: Criterion is that list must include those who have actively contributed as Members during 1.2 development(proposals, authors, commenters, implementors of the DTDs and XSDs).
>Action for Gershon to prepare this list.
7. Any other spec items to discuss?
>Nothing new
8. Revise schedule to accommodate the following items:
Nothing new
9. Heads-up about future changes
>Nothing new
10. Low(er) priority items:
>Nothing new
2. New ITEM: Subcommittee catalog distribution (SIDSC example)
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201002/msg00048.html (Park)
>Seth reviewed the request. He recommends using the existing 1.2 practice (subfolder parallel to base, named by SC, include catalog, then subset DTD and schema directories). Jeff agreed with the suggested practice, but questioned the comment about SC's not connected with a specialization.
>Discussion--agreed that this falls into today's current Committee Draft process (has had the TC's purview, is not a spec).
>Consensus: The DITA TC will use the Committee Draft process to approve SC subsets of information as TC-approved deliverables.
3. New ITEM: Stan Doherty's request for Sanity Check on build process:
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201002/msg00052.html (Doherty)
>Stan wanted to make sure what we are delivering on this request (prep files?
>Kirsten: several issues: 1) consensus on modular parts, 2) whether to distribute ant scripts (giving this to the Toolkit absolves the TC of managing tools)
>Don suggested that OASIS also can be home for style tools (tantamount to current situation for Word and ODF templates for specs).
>Discussion on this to be continued on the list.
Ongoing checks:
8:50-8:55 Announcements/Opens
8:55 Adjourn
>Meeting adjourned at the top of the hour.
