Three now have final recommendations, which I'm running past KH and LB (after splitting off a separate issue to a new ticket for one of them); the other is problematic, and I think we'll end up recommending no for the moment, and address the issue again as part of our general biblio review.

Posted latest summaries to SF, along with some requested examples for one ticket. I think one is resolved, one close to resolved, and the other two still in discussion.

KH and I have responsibility for four tickets relating to biblio issues in the current round of council deliberations, and it will make sense to get those squared away before proceeding much further with the rest of the review. I spent an hour reading and summarizing the tickets, adding my current opinion, and forwarding to KH and LB for theirs.

I'm increasingly coming up against the problem that our changes can only really be specified once other decisions still pending, on other feature requests, have been dealt with, since these will validate or invalidate the guiding principles we used when writing the proposed modifications. Grrr.

Put a bit more work into the changes.

Forging on with the review of changes made and still outstanding in Guidelines 3.11.

Beginning work trawling through our proposed revisions to 2.7 and 3.11, to see which of them LB already implemented, and which still need to be filed as bug reports or feature requests, and which need further consideration or should be abandoned. So far I've dealt with 2.7.

Continuing comments on contentious tickets, and three new tickets to vote on.

Spent an hour working through feature requests on SF for a council vote.

It's likely SB and I will be teaching an intro to XSLT at DHSI next year, so I've started putting together a basic outline for the course. I've got to the end of day two so far.
