Project main activities

The following slides report status and progress for each main activity per 22 January 08

Activity #1 – ManagementPublication format: Preliminary Feedback from OASIS

E-mail received 29 November 07 from Mary McRea The frame with the PLCS logo – that would need to go; basically the

“page” could just shift left The cover page information would need to be changed so that the title

has a real version number (Version 1.0, Version 6.3.2, whatever you like)

The stage (where you have “Developer Draft”) would need to be Committee Draft 01 (assuming this has been approved by the TC members). The date of approval would then appear below that.

The file name – OASIS_cover, while legal, is pretty nondescript – maybe dexlib-v1-index? (just a suggestion)

The appendices should most likely be on a separate page and just linked through the TOC so it doesn’t appear like an empty document.

I’ll send more details later, but I think you’re just about ready to go!
