- Move includes.nav*.sgml to share/sgml/navibar.ent and
<lang>/share/sgml/nabibar.l10n.ent.
- Move includes.sgml and includes.xsl to
share/sgml/common.ent, share/sgml/header.ent, <lang>/share/sgml/l10n.ent,
and <lang>?share/sgml/header.l10n.ent.
- Move most of XSLT libraries to share/sgml/*.xsl and
<lang>/share/sgml/*.xsl.
- Move news.xml and other *.xml files for the similar purpose
to share/sgml/*.xml and <lang>/share/sgml/*.xml.
- Switch to use a custom DTD for HTML document. Now we use
"-//FreeBSD//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional-Based Extension", which is
HTML 4.01 + some entities previously pulled via
"<!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes;" line.
The location of entity file will be resolved by using catalog file.
- Add DOCTYPE declearation to XML documents. This makes the followings
possible:
* Use of &foo; entities for SGML in an XML file instead of defining
{$foo} as the same content.
* &symbolic; entities for Latin characters.
- Duplicated information between SGML and XML, or English and
translated doc, has been removed as much as possible.

|
|
yes vote.</li>

<li>Core secretary to deal with the details of voting, notification,

</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Without Objection</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Any core member may ask core, via email, if they can take
|
|
some mundane action, subject to a quick sanity check of the
|
|
rest of core.</li>
|
|
<li>If no one objects within 48 hours, then that person may proceed
|
|
(or sooner if (2/3 * core-size) members agree).</li>
|
|
<li>If there are any objections, then it will be resolved via the
|
|
issue voting procedure.</li>
|
|
<li>Core secretary may send the OK to proceed message, as the
|
|
secretary deems appropriate.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any committer also use this mechanism so long as at least one
|
|
core member says 'yes' and the previous paragraph is otherwise
|
|
followed. It is intended to be used for mundane matters that
|
|
need a quick sanity check, but don't need a more heavy weight
|
|
and deliberative process. It is believed that the subset of
|
|
core present for any given 48 period are sufficient for both
|
|
sanity checking mundane matters and recognizing non-mundane
|
|
matters that need to be handled via the issues voting
|
|
procedure.</p>
