 * EEBO TCP: Reaching consensus with EEBO TCP [SR] (see http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/EEBO/ for summary of problem, and links to tickets)

Could someone (SR, JC, PS?) explain the big picture, here — what is the exact task (making sure EEBO TCP is TEI P5 conformant?), and why is it important?

More Details on Agenda topics

 * Discuss possible revisions to step-by-step instructions in release procedure
 * Should step 1 (creating P5/ReleaseNotes/readme-X.X.X.xml) happen at the same time as step 4 (freeze on commits)?
 * Should we do steps 1 through 5 farther in advance so we can check that the version numbers etc. show up in the right places in files resulting from the build process?
 * Immediately after a release, should we change the version number in the repository to next release number (e.g., "2.5a", with "a" for "alpha") so people won't be confused looking at the last successful build and seeing the old version number. Then immediately before a release, when we put out the call to TEI-L to look for typos, we can change the "a" to "b" (e.g., "2.5b") and then when we actually release, remove the "b".
 * Should we have the date of a build be auto-generated? It will make it clearer that people are looking at something that's evolving, and it will also make it easier to diagnose the occasional case where one of the Jenkins servers stops updating.
 * proposals for &lt;standoff&gt; -- have Javier join the discussion?


 * i18n: how to take forward updating of the translations


 * Development of Pure ODD [LB and SR]. See paper at http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/Talks/2013-09-acmdoceng/rahtzburnard.pdf and the code at https://github.com/TEIC/pureodd
