Today's notes: no quorum - good discussion though

Title: Message

Here are my notes 
from today.  They are admittedly sparse and incomplete (and hopefully not 
too inaccurate).  Since we did not achieve quorum (needed one more 
attendee), I'm sending these not as official notes, but as documentation of 
several very good points that were made in this *non-official* 
meeting.

 

I very much hope 
that anyone with a different or better recollection of any topic feels welcome 
to comment.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan

 

==========================================================

Agenda:
1/

Peter, Tony

 

2/ Approve previous meeting minutes: 
Accept, 
reject, or amend. (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200707/msg00001.html)

# No vote - did not 
achieve quorum

 

3/ WIKI updated
 A. XLIFF 2.0 Goals 
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0Goals)

# Rodolfo: We should not tie all of the goals to a 
specific release version (i.e., 2.0). Some of the goals should be attached 
to point releases, and made available with or without passage of 
2.0.

# Christian: We should vote on passing 
1.3, or other point releases.  We've already voted to focus on 2.0, 
not point releases

# Rodolfo: Not proposing point releases - Just want to 
not hold up good deliverables, like Representation Guides, or Release of newly 
licensed, update xliffRoundTrip Tool by tying them to a specific 
version

# Andrzej pointed out the moving from 1.1 to 1.2 took 
years

# Bryan: Some of the goals lend themselves to being 
requirements for our next official release; some are more suited as goals that 
should be implemented as soon as they are complete.  Bryan volunteered 
to create a survey which lists all of the documented goals, 
and asks members to classify each according to whether they think 
it should be a requirement for XLIFF 2.0, or a goal to be implemented 
along the way

 B. Approval of 
XLIFF 1.2 as an OASIS Specification: Remaining Steps 
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/RemainingApprovalSteps)

# Rodolfo will call 
Mary to arrange for final title, filename, and file posts.  This will be an 
informal call that should result in correctly named and posted files by the time 
we meet next.  If Mary would prefer, we could invite her to a special 
meeting hosted at our regular number, with optional attendance by other TC 
members

# Bryan has begun 
work on the whitepaper - will seek input from others soon

# Doug, Christian, 
and Rodolfo have crafted the FAQ nicely - it seems to be in good shape.  As 
always, others are welcome to contribute

# Bryan outlined the 
certification guidelines recently posted to the wiki.  He will send 
personal notes to qualified TC members.  Rodolfo will send a note to 
specific LISA members.

 

4/ Representation guides
 A. ICU Resource 
Bundle Profile, proposed by Eric Mader (Eric to give a brief overview, TC could 
then decide if we want to schedule separate side-meeting for Eric to present the 
guide in detail)
 B. Other potential representation guides

 

5/ ISO submission

 

6/ XLIFF Webinar? (http://www.oasis-open.org/events/webinars/)

 

7/ Reports from liaisons involved with other 
standards groups: 
 A. W3C i18n 
 B. Oscar 
 C. Trans-WS 

 D. LRC 
 E: OASIS DITA Translation Subcommittee 

 

8/ Any Other Business

# Christian briefly 
discussed his proposal for an official XLIFF guide for subsetting the XLIFF 
XSD.  He will begin an email thread with Doug which, when it's ready, will 
eventually move to the  list
