RE: [dita] draft spec status, proposed schedule for vote

We haven't had a lang spec update since September, and it's 
almost 1000 pages (admittedly, most of it repetitive attribute descriptions, but 
still), and one week isn't much time, especially when most of us have other 
things to be doing in our jobs and there are other people in our organization 
that need to find time to review.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "call for 
one last final review from the TC starting at next year's first meeting (Jan 
2)".

If what you mean is that we'll have final versions of the 
arch and lang specs in all our hands this week, I think that works. 

If we don't have the specs in our hands until Jan 2, a vote 
on Jan 9th doesn't work.

Subject: [dita] draft 
  spec status, proposed schedule for vote

  

Don and I are close to having 
  final versions of the spec with all comments to date recovered. My hope is 
  that we can call for one last final review from the TC starting at next year's 
  first meeting (Jan 2), then have a formal TC vote on the specs on the next 
  meeting (Jan 9th). 

Does that sound 
  do-able, or overly optimistic? 

Hoping to kick off the new year with a new milestone,
