      >> Would like to check in build scripts in the near future
      >> Action item (John): Write build document and circulate for
commentary

> Would be useful to have a Wiki for DTP
      >> Who can make changes?
      >> Can documents have sections with different change permissions?
      >> Perhaps uid/pw like Eclipse newsgroups to avoid spamming for
public-editable documents
      >> Publishing PDF side-by-side makes it easier to create and read
some Wiki content
      >> BIRT has a Wiki that can serve as an example
      >> Action item (John): Look into creating a Wiki for DTP

changes

dates/requirements are established

> Accessibility (Section 508 compliance)
      >> Desired for DTP
      >> Required to sell into US government accounts
      >> Other Eclipse projects do not seem to declare S508 compliance (?)
      >> What is the DTP obligation and strategy for this?
      >> Action item (John): Talk to Bjorn and others to get a sense of how
to proceed

> Check-in process
      >> Connectivity has ideas about a check-in process
      >> Would be good to adopt across DTP

dtp-dev for discussion
