The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.

* Action Items

- (Not completed) Work continues on defining the default values.  Ma
Yue

is working on collecting values from Lotus Symphony.  -- Rob and Helen

to follow up with Ma.

- (Completed) Oliver is working on text field proposal: Status is below

- (completed) Feedback is being sought from David Faure

- (completed) bullet lists with constant strings: Status is below.

- (in progress) Florian will check with Ecma to see if disposition of

DIS 29500 comments regarding date counting conventions can

be made public and sent to the ODF TC: Florian reported that the

disposition of these comments can be made public, but the comment

numbers mentioned by Rob seem not be related to date counting

conventions. Rob will follow-up with Florian to find the proper comment

numbers.

* WG effort in DIN on defining a mapping between ODF 1.0 and Ecma-376

Rob has send a couple of questions to the WG to get a more information

about the effort. The TC will await the answers of the WG before

continuing the discussion.

* Accessibility Guidelines Document

The Accessibility Guidelines document currently has not conformance

clause section, which all documents for which a Committee Specification

ballot is conducted must have. For informative documents like

accessibility guidelines, it is however sufficient if the conformance

clause section states that there are no conformance clauses.

The TC unanimously agreed to add the following Conformance clause section:

"This document is intended to be an implementation guide, and contains

no formal conformance clauses."

* Proposals, as listed at

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument_v1.2_Action_Items#head-d117ebdb1531adf3aa1dbb5fb619a2298f88ac0e

- text input field:

The proposal has been withdrawn by Oliver and Florian, but they intent

to submit a more general proposal for fields for a post ODF 1.2 version.

To simply the discussion, it was suggested to have a Wiki page where

post ODF 1.2 ideas may be discussed

(new action item) Michael to set up a Wiki page

- source tables for charts

The current proposal to have a xlink:href attribute which allows

references into the current package seems to be sufficient:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200801/msg00029.html

A voting on this proposal may take place in the next meeting.

- Chart legends

The current proposal to allow text:p elements within the chart:legend

element seems to be sufficient:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200802/msg00001.html

A voting on this proposal may take place in the next meeting.

- Bullet lists with constant strings

ODF supports bullet lists with constant strings by setting the numbering

prefix to the constant string value, and a numbering format "no-number".

An enhancement for for ODF 1.2 therefore is not required.

- Automatic Style Names

The current proposal is ambiguous regarding the use of the term 

"document". Michael will revise the proposal.
