RE: 30-day Public Review for XLIFF V2.0

Dear Felix, all,

I am planning to issue an Announcement in Localization Professionals group on this Public Review later today, and I'll mention W3C and ITS there, too, so we ride on OASIS brand as well, just a little bit ).

Regards,
Serge

Hi David,

Thanks Felix for re-sending,
well, there is obviously no mandatory action, since this is a standardization process run by a different consortium.
Anyway, OASIS public review is a near equivalent of a W3C last call. So it would be good if WG members, especially those interested in the ITS<->XLIFF mapping reviewed the spec for potential issues.

If that's OK I'd like to put that on the agenda for Bled, e.g. a 2-3 hour session to review the mappings + the XLIFF 2.0 last call? Is that too long or not enough?

Best,

Felix


Same as in W3C last call, there is a commenting facility (mailing list) and all comments received within the Public Review window through this facility and the normal working list must be resolved.
I18n people might be interested in directionality handling, normalization etc.

Best regards

Hi all,

FYI. I assume that no action at this point is needed from the MLW-LT group - David et al., please let us know otherwise.

Best,

Felix
