seth's status: Authors, can we meet our 19 October deadline for the 3rd review?

If you asking whether Authors will have all wiki 
feedback incorporated into the source by Oct 13, I'm behind because I missed the 
'go' signal. I can have that work complete by the 19th for my topics. Moving 
content between the archspec and langspec has not been done.

 

All of my "review" topics are complete, except for the XSD 
coding topics in specialization/constraints:

  xsdShellDoctypeCodeReq.dita
  
constraintsDomainDesignPattern-xsd.xml
  schemamod.dita
  
xsdGeneralCodingReq.dita
  
xsdStructuralSpecializationReqs.dita
  
xsdAttributeDomainSpecializationCodeReq.dita

Subject: 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.
