1. DITA 1.3 progress

Progress between 19-26 February 2013: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201302/msg00061.html

Update on deadlines: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201302/msg00062.html

Proposal #13056 - Robert expects to have an update by next TC meeting

Proposal #1310? - ChrisN will have update on that soon.

Hopefully, we'll be discussing both of these within the next few weeks

Kris will reach out to TC members responsible for a single proposal 

to get deadlines for those proposals.

In response to question from Mark Myers, TC reviewed requirements for a Stage 3 proposal; it needs to be complete except for 'contains/contained by' tables; if a proposal owner needs feedback in preparing it, they should contact appointed reviewers or send mail to the TC list for feedback, prior to the item coming up for discussion in the TC..

Kris asked that submitters provide 'real' examples where examples are called for, ths accuracy and completeness of these affect their eventual incorporation in the spec, as well as our decisions about the proposals.

NEW ITEM:

Don broughtup the issue of the status of the Yahoo dita-users group; He would prefer that this group continue to be the one used by users, to avoid fragmenting the community, and the problem with including angle brackets in text appears to be fixed. MichaelP agreed, though with the caveat that if another problem comes up, and Yahoo responds as slowly as they did with this, we should make a change.

TC discussion generally agreed with this position; folks will do some more testing of the Yahoo list to be sure the problem is fixed.

4. 11:30 AM ET: Presentation and discussion with Christian Lieske and Felix Sasaki about ITS locNote

This is in response to TC's question; how well is ITS @locnote supported in translation tools?

    Background: As an outgrowth of active discussions about product names, reuse, and translation, JoAnn Hackos suggested that we consider adding a mechanism comparable to its:locNote to DITA. Eliot Kimber proposed some options, which we discussed, but TC members very much wanted to know how well its:locNote was supported by current translation tools.  The 

presentation was followed by a brief discussion

1.  Intro to W3C ITS (includes info on relationship to XLIFF, and use of ITS in tools/frameworks)
