None for 5.1. Time to start considering what to do for 6.0?

Dick: If we don't have something big to do, we should probably do a
5.2 instead of a 6.0.

Jirka: I think we should wait until we have implementations of 5.1 in
the field before considering 6.0.

Any other business?

Scott: I put in a formal RFE to Oxygen to create a DocBook assembly
manager similar to the DITA maps manager. It's already got some
support.

None heard.
