Authors, can we meet our 19 October deadline for the 3rd review?

Authors, below is a table that contains my assessment of the work to be
done before the 3rd review opens. (John Hunt, I haven't added an
assessment for the L & T topics since the subcommittee doesn't
expect to be finished with the review until 13 October.)

Please look over the following table and get back to me as soon as you
can with the following information:

  
Are the authoring assignments correct? (If so, no need to let me
know)

  
Do you need someone else to take over part of your current
assignment? (Seth, I know you wanted someone else to own a topic or two
...)

  

  
Can you meet the 13 October deadline? If not, what deadline could
you meet?

  
Would having help from someone speed up the progress of the work?

  

Elliot and JoAnn, I'd like to volunteer to work on the "Introduction to
DITA" topics if that would be helpful.

that currently in the Language Reference topics.
