I agree that it would be good for all requests to revise the canonical 
version of Tite, maintained in SourceForge, to go as tickets in 
SourceForge.  But we also want to make sure there is ongoing 
communication between this canonical version and Apex's fork (which they 
call Tite 1.1: 
http://accesstei.apexcovantage.com/Content/documents/TEI-Tite_guidelines__1.1.pdf 
).

We are promised a document from Perry Trolard describing changes made in 
this fork so that we can consider making these in the canonical version 
as well.  While I suggested we do these before tackling any of my 
revisions, it might not really make a difference.  After all, my errors 
are problems in 1.1 as well.  Likewise, we would like Apex to continue 
informing someone on Council about any further changes they decide to 
make in their fork.

We should also make sure that we communicate back to Apex any changes we 
make to the canonical version on our own (not at their suggestion) in 
case they want to incorporate any of these into their fork.

Do we need a designated Council member whose job it is to maintain this 
communication with Apex?
