Review of the agenda

 Review of open action items

  a.   Extension for synopsis elements

              (Issue #111)

  Need ALL to test before we can have a proposal to vote on. Larry has tested. No issues. Requester is already using in a local variant. Larry thinks it's in good shape. Need someone that is really good at schema to
  test (Jirka?). ACTION: Bob to ask Jirka to review.

  Regarding new synopsis element:

           Bob will ask Jirka to document  and test the schema

           Larry says the Definitive Guide will need to be updated to document the schema extensions,
  which will require some expertise.

           Bob suggests that perhaps we could ask Norm to update the Definitive Guide.

           Larry offered to collaborate with Norm or whomever will work on this and to draft useful
  descriptions of the multiple programing constructs  (the  C++ vs. python extensions for example)

           No timeline was determined for either Jirka or Norm s efforts

  b.            Bob to request schema change to Jirka/Norm to add the fix for 112 refentry in sect 1 CONTINUED.

  c.       Bob to discuss with Jirka to create a beta with DocBook Library (
