Plan to simplify our agendas: more emphasis on the XLIFF Wiki

Title: Message

Hello,

 

I regret that I had 
to take unexpected time away during July (thanks to Tony for chairing the 
meeting).  But I'm back now, getting our XLIFF activities back in 
focus.

 

One of the steps I'd 
like to take to make our path a little more friendly is to simplify our meeting 
agendas.  So I'd like to try a new approach starting with the agenda I'll 
send this Friday regarding our August 21 teleconference.  

 

In short, I'd like 
the meeting agendas to contain far less information.  So I've updated our 
wiki (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff) 
with the details.  I plan to send a simple agenda that links to the 
appropriate details on the wiki.

 

I envision an agenda 
that might be as simple as something like this:

 

1. XLIFF 2.0 Goals 
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0Goals).

2. XLIFF 1.2 
Remaining Steps (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/RemainingApprovalSteps)

3. XLIFF 1.2 Recent 
Accomplishments

 a. FAQ Updated 
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/FAQ)

 b. White paper 
Updated (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFFWhitePaper)

 c. Affidavits 
submitted (some URL)

4. Reports from 
liaisons involved with other standards groups

5. New Business / 
Adjourn

 

I think this new 
approach will be friendly assuming attendees are online during the 
teleconference.  One of the only advantages of the old way (loading the 
agenda up with details) is that somebody away from their computer could still 
follow along.

 

Please let me know 
if you have strong preferences one way or the other.  If nobody expresses 
great love for the old agenda format, I'll try this new approach to see how we 
like it.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan
