Folks,

We are, as of today, very slightly behind Christophe's roadmap for the vocabularies document.

There's only one to-do still marked in the document, concerned with adding a link to a sample inter-vocabulary mapping. Alasdair can add that very quickly, when he returns from holiday at the end of this month. Once that's done, I suggest Sébastien makes a release of WD 1.11, calling it PR, and entering the RFC period (or whatever the version numbering scheme requires; it confuses me).

That will mean...

RFC period: 7 July -- 11 August (5 weeks, over the summer) TCG review: 11 August -- 15 September
PR submission to Exec
Exec review: 15 September -- 29 September REC (assuming all reviews pass).

Any objections?

I've made a couple of minor wording changes to the document's advice about constructing vocabulary terms, based on my experience converting the AVM vocabulary. The current editors' draft is as usual at [1], with the diffs as usual available at [2].

All the best,

Norman
