DITA TC Wiki: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/FrontPage

8:00-8:05 PT Roll call

STANDING BUSINESS:

Approve minutes from previous meeting:

- Accepted with no objections

BUSINESS:

1. Action Items:

    - 26 April 2016: Robert Anderson: Add many, many items to Wiki pages (COMPLETED)

2. Announcements: none

3. Continuing item DITA 1.3 errata

    - Link: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA%201.3%20Errata

    - Kris re-ordered page into categories and set up @rev, fixing all that can be

       fixed for now.

    - Still many open content model topics

    - Catalog files: Robert will complete by next week.

    - Code to generate topic models needs to be updated and tested.

ACTION ITEM: Robert and Eliot: work together to update and test content model

      generation software.

    - Style sheets: Bob working to make stylesheets for errata more automated,

       especially the way they handle metadata.

ACTION ITEM: Nancy and Bob: work together to create metadata requirements

       for builds, specifically, what needs to be automated for builds. Will consult

       with Kris.

       

    - SEO: need someone to take on task of figuring out how we can improve

       Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for errata. Keith Schengili-Roberts will

       take on the task of researching this area. Keith said that metadata may

       not do the job. Google ignores Dublin Core metadata, but may look at

       RDF metadata.

    - Schedule: would like to get 1.3 errata out by December; it would be nice

       to have it out before DITA Europe.

ACTION ITEM: Kris and Joe Storbeck: set up DITAweb for reviews and get

       Joe set up with permissions to work in DITAweb as an admin.

       

4. Continuing item: Work on committee notes

    - "Why Three Editions"

       + No update, continued.

       some material in MS Word to DITA.

    - Listening sessions give people using, or considering using, DITA the opportunity

    - Stan has guidelines for hosting listening sessions, and JoAnn encourages people

       to consider holding sessions in their local area or while traveling.

       This provides a structure for learning about and discussing DITA.
