Re: [xliff] Minutes of the XLIFF TC August 6th. 2002

Hi Peter / Mark:

We discussed removing it but did not agree to it.  Acording to
my notes,  we would make the changes as discussed and leave the final
decision on keeping or removing the section to the final review of the
spec.  If you prefer,  we could take a vote on keeping or removing
the section at the next meeting - I can add a specific agenda item to it.

Any other comments or suggestions?

Regards,

Tony

Hi Peter,

I had thought we agreed to remove
the 'Naming Convention' section from the specification altogether. If I
have got this wrong I would like to formally propose removing it from the
specification on the basis that it constitutes a TC policy or guideline
as opposed to information relevant to the actual XLIFF specification.

Regards,

Mark

P.S. Due to vacation, please accept
my apologies for the next meeting

Minutes of the XLIFF TC August 6th. 2002

1/ Attendance:  Jonathan Clark, Tony Jewtushenko, 
Mark Levins,  Mat Lovatt,

John Reid, Peter Reynolds, Yves Savourel, Mirek Driml,
Reinhard Schaler,

David Pooley.

Apologies:  John Corrigan, Enda McDonnell, Christian
Lieske

Observer: Bryan Schnabel.

2/ Minutes of the last meeting were agreed as a correct
record.

3/  Work in progress

Migration policy: This was agreed unanimously in an
email ballot with 10

votes in favour.

Formalized Extensibility: Yves presented the work
on Formalized

Extensibility. He raised the issue that there had
been little feedback on

attribute lists from the TC members. It was decided
that Yves would complete

work on this document which would then be sent to
TC. Members could have a

day to reply with clarifications before this went
to a ballot vote.

Embedded XLIFF: Yves presented this document and said
there were three ways

Embedded XLIFF could be implemented. These are:

1/ Embedding a Full XLIFF Document

2/ Embedding One or More XLIFF Constructs

3/ Embedding Localization Directives

Yves suggested that the TC should look at this to
decide on Embedding

Localisation directives.

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200206/msg00013.html

It was greed that we would look at this and discuss
it later.

Yves will send out a snippet of this specification.

Working draft

Naming conventions: There was a discussion on this
which decided the

following changes to the list in the Elements and
Attributes section (1.1.1)

of the section on Naming Convention (1.1) :

The wording for item 3 is changed to 'Hyphen is the
preferred means of

creating composite names'.

Item 4 and 5 were deleted. Deletion of item 5 was
proposed by John and

seconded by Mark and agreed unanimously after some
discussion.

Item 6 is changed to 'A single attribute definition
will exist for each

attribute name'. For example coord refers to co-ordinates
and nothing else.

In section 1.1.2 it was agreed that the second paragraph
be changed to say

'semi-colon as a list separator for values' instead
of 'semi-colon as a

concatenation separator for values'

With section 1.1.3 it was agreed that the second
paragraph would be removed

and the references to Processing Instructions will
be removed from  the

description of <context>, <context-group> and
<prop-group>.

Section 1.1.4 - The second sentence which refers
to 5.3 filenames will be

removed.

There was also some debate about whether or not there
was a need to have the

Naming Conventions section in the published specification.

Group-order: It was agreed that the spec would be
modified so that the

ordering was systematic and this will be enforced
by the schema.

The issues raised by Christian were deferred to the
next meeting when he

should be present.

4/ LISA Conference

It is planned to have a face to face meeting with
video links at the LISA

conference. Tony will confirm the date for this after
consulting with those

traveling to Heidelberg. Christian will be asked
to organise the video

conference at the German side. The meeting will take
place at 5 PM (Germany)

to give all members of the TC the opportunity to
attend.

Yves and Christian have sent out their draft presentation
which was very

positively received. They would like case studies
for this. Mark agreed to

do a case study on the Domino Global Workbench tool.
It was suggested we

should have a number of similar case studies of XLIFF
being used.

5/ Next meeting: September 17th. 2002
