OASIS DITA TC: 17 August 2004 meeting reminder

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings, DITA TC colleagues.  This is a reminder for Tuesday's regular

telecon, from 11 AM to noon EDT.

Again, I'm switching our developing Spec into higher priority this week

so that we can make some progress on it.  Please review our extant Intro

draft in either the CHM or PDF versions in the Documents area of the

OASIS DITA TC page.

(Apparently the Documents area does not allow public access to docs in

the Temp folder, so this morning I have moved the PDF set into the

Contributions folder, which should cause it to be listed in Documents.)
