Finally, it will develop or contribute to open source tooling to facilitate document drafting and review . This TF would of these deliverables.
While this TF will operate under the purview of the TSWG, but it is fully expected to be a polyglot TF having participation and contributions across all ToIP Working Groups in ToIP.
The STTF needs to provide policies and directives for:
Document Format:
- Markdown (we currently require this is the format for documents going to WG/SC reviewcurrently required for ToIP specifications)
- Kramdown
- something else
Document rendering:
- Spec-up (this is our primary specification authoring tool)
- Respec
- MKdocs
- something else
...
- How should normative vs informative sections be distinguished?
- Do we require any Internationalization and localization of specifications?
- What format should references and citations have?
- Format and capitalization of terms and definitions
- iso lower cases all term definitions, but their usages can be capitalized, but not other formatting is applied
- IETF capitalizes terms and definitions and their usages... and sometimes italics/bold are applied (cite)
Document versioning:
- methodMethod
- publication Publication deliverable / permanent links
...
(W3C is intentionally omitted as they have a well established feeder organization through the CCG)
