ALL: Test v5.2 b11 ( https://github.com/docbook/docbook/pull/218 ) STATUS: Bob finished testing of the latest 5.2 schema, so if there are not any other issues we can issue an informal beta to the mailing list for further input and review before we create the OASIS product. b. Time to send to the schema to the list and get feedback. Refer people to the stylesheets that Norm has updated for processing. c. Norm to package as v5.2 Candidate 1, notify the TC to review before sending to public. Social media presence for DocBook Purpose: To raise awareness of actions (votes, calls for information, etc.) a. Announce v5.2RC1 to the mailing list for further input (see 3b) Remaining items for v5.2 Committee Spec Proposed an optional attribute of  namespace (or ns or nsref)  to all the syntactic elements (the new ones as well as the existing ones like variable and constant) including namespace, since namespaces can contain other namespaces. The namespace attribute should point at an xml:id on a namespace element. Beta 12 incorporated packagesynopsis, so will add a packageref (see issue 229) Completion schedule for v5.2 Remanining issues NEW: 228 Embedding an indexterm inside indexterm/primary or indexterm/secondary should not be allowed Status: nested indexterm is not meaningful.
