Minutes: DITA XML.org EdBoard Meeting June 2008

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

Attending: JoAnn, Don, Su-Laine, Bob, Carol

1. New wiki page
EdBoard decided to create a new wiki page, "Top myths about technical writing" as a way to capture traditional practices or ideas that may have become antiquated. 

AI: Bob will create the page <already done>. JoAnne will ask EdBoard to seed page over the next week. Su-Laine will announce it to the yahoo list when the EdBoard's week is up; she'll invite people to add their own suggestions for myths.


2. Sponsored links box
Carol is going to add a "Sponsored links" box under the Sponsors' logos in the right column. 

AI: Carol to get links from Sponsors and create box.


3. Poll
EdBoard agreed the poll should be removed after one month. We decided to replace current poll with Su-Laine's suggestion: What has been the most challenging aspect of your DITA implementation? Su-Laine also suggested an idea for a future poll: What output formats do you currently not have that you would like to have?


4. Yahoo list
JoAnn reminded us to be on the look-out for fodder in the yahoo-list.
