Activity 1 ManagementPublication format
Preliminary Feedback from OASIS

• E-mail received 29 November 07 from Mary McRea
• The frame with the PLCS logo that would need to
  go basically the page could just shift left
• The cover page information would need to be
  changed so that the title has a real version
  number (Version 1.0, Version 6.3.2, whatever you
  like)
• The stage (where you have Developer Draft)
  would need to be Committee Draft 01 (assuming
  this has been approved by the TC members). The
  date of approval would then appear below that.
• The file name OASIS_cover, while legal, is
  pretty nondescript maybe dexlib-v1-index? (just
  a suggestion)
• The appendices should most likely be on a
  separate page and just linked through the TOC so
  it doesnt appear like an empty document.
• Ill send more details later, but I think youre
  just about ready to go!
