Status Reports
ndw's implementation in good state, aiming for a 2.0 release by Balisage
Steven apologises that his implementation was down for a while earlier this week
JL's implmentation online
passing all tests older than a week
Sent everyone details on the XPath features; might try to get QT3 tests running against it.
ACTION: JW to get QT3 tests working on his XPath feature
Michael: Fixing test failures; only remaining gaps are insertion tests.
ACTION: Michael to close and re-open pull request #115
TFJH: not had much time to work on my implementation: think I'm going to step back from the committee meetings and spend more time on github/tests/balisage/JayParser
Steven: proposes reducing committee meetings to monthly for a while (second Tuesday of each month)
Tom: proposes keeping the same diary slot for other breakout meetings, e.g. balisage papers
Testing
JL: I find it hard to navigate: I could do with a way of just seeing current tests
NDW suggest cloning a second copy for ease of comparison
Instructions for pulling a given branch is available at the bottom of a given PR
Balisage
Steven: What has got to be done, and who is doing it?
NDW: happy for Michael to kick off with a summary of the V1 release
… or Steven?
<norm> Norm: I said Steven, but I don't care who does it.
Sessions are 45 minutes (30 mins talking, 15 mins questions)
Michael: the answer to "when can I use it" is "you can use it today"; lots of demos would be good.
Tom: a schematron based demonstration would be good: cf Jirka's paper in XML London (link to follow by email)
ACTION: Tom to set up a schematron demo
Michael: it would be good to show we get the same results for some sentence across the implmentations. Suggest Oberon language as a candidate.
NDW: the grammar for extracting docbook bibliographies would be great
Steven: That's the one I was intending to do.
JL: I have the XPath one to do.
ACTION: Michael to look at FXSL library for a source of XPath samples
JL: we are hampered by not being able to include one grammar in another (e.g. ISO dates in ISO lists)
Michael: for now, I would suggest simple macro expansion to build grammars outside of iXML
ACTION: Steven to introduce: prose by 1st July ready for conference proceeding
ACTION: all to produce proce precis of demos and implementations by 1st July ready for conference proceedings
website and implmentations
NDW: I propose putting the spec and grammars in a /1.0/ directory for future proofing
Steven: we can redirect the existing URLs to the latest version
ACTION: NDW to update web CI to produce such a webpage
<Tom> Next meeting: 12th July 2022 AD
Tom: suggest pragma paper authors meet this time next week
