Meeting minutes 2018 08 09

Attendance: Robert Anderson, John Pashley, Jarno Elovirta, Radu Coravu, Lief Erickson, Roger Sheen, Shane Taylor, Frank Wegmann

Item 1: Any updates about prior releases?

3.1.2 hotfix branch open, collecting items. Will try to release soon after Roger comes back.

Radu hoping that it includes a fix for extra libraries showing up with PDF. If you unzip 3.1.1, in the pdf2 FOP lib/ directory, there are a lot of extra libraries (many versions of some libraries). Need to double check 3.1.2 doesn't have this.

Item 2: DITA-OT 3.next Development status and updates

3.2 project board: https://github.com/orgs/dita-ot/projects/5

Robert adding lots of minor items to clear out backlog.

Jarno working on plugin repository code, rewriting plugin installation / integrator process: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/pull/3028

Item 3: Doc updates and plans, update on documentation call

Will create hotfix branch after the call so that we can add 3.1.2 release notes

Radu remarked on search not working quite as expected, Roger hasn't had time to investigate yet (has been out of office), but need to investigate. Example, dita.xsl.strings as search term doesn't bring up anything, but strings as term brings up the page on that extension.

Survey from Lief closed on Monday. Survey ran 3 or 4 weeks, got 49 responses. Lots of interesting data, still to be analyzed, will expand on the data in other venues after analysis.
