DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 20 November 2013
=============================================================

The DocBook Technical Committee met on Wednesday, 20 November
2013 at 1:00pm ET.

Agenda

1. Roll call

Norm, Larry, Scott.

2. Accepting the minutes [1] of the previous meeting.
3. Next meeting: 18 December 2013

Proposed 11 December instead.

Please respond in email if you object.

4. Review of the agenda.
5. Review of open action items

  a.  Norm to publish an XSD for 5.1 when it is finished.

Continued.

  b.  Norm to follow up on RFE 3491860 license tag

Completed; discussion continues.

I think the relevant thing is RDFa. Scott observes that Dublin Core may
also be able to handle this case.

ACTION: Scott to follow up with an example using Dublin Core and
Publishers.

  c.  Norm to talk to OASIS about some examples of
      internal published items, such as draft specs and
      non-normative customization layers.

Completed.

  d.  Norm to update the catalog distributed with DocBook
      to support "www".

Completed.

6.  OASIS website issues

We have two options: we can store stuff in the SVN repo:

  https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/docbook/?sc=0

or we can vote (within the TC) to publish a ZIP file of stuff on
docs.oasis-open.org.

Norm: I think we should try to migrate oasis-open.org/docbook to the
Subversion repository.

ACTION: Norm to attempt to migrate oasis-open.org/docbook to the OASIS
subversion repo.

7.  Publisher's and eLearning subcommittee reports

Scott: I need to schedule a publishers meeting, there are a couple of
RFEs. We have to decide if we want to do a 1.1.

8.  Transclusion in DocBook

XInclude 1.1 is in CR:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude-11/

I've started a set of stylesheets to implement the DocBook
Transclusion options.

9.  DocBook 5.1 release

Now that we can put stuff in subversion, we can make some sort of
announcement of the first CR.

10.  Review of Requests for Enhancement

Agenda items for next month:

Should RDFa be part of DocBook 5.2
Should Dublin Core be part of DocBook 5.2
