Folks, firstly, here's FLE's fist take on the Experience document. Secondly, and that's what this mail is mainly all about, I had a chat with Greg Newby about the documents process regarding ByteIO. As a summary, our situation is kind of special, because during the Interop test, we found issues that made us change the XML renderings for the specification to ensure interoperability. No doubt there are groups in OGF and elsewhere that may be in th the same situation when they do interoperability, but the point is that the current OGF documents process has a definition hole for this situation. After a longer discussion with Greg we agreed that this needs fixing in the revision of GFD.1 which is currently in public comment, and that Greg will address that. The consequences for us are hence as follows. 1) We still need to return the Interoperbility document t GFSG with changes coming from the PC period. I will take care of that. 2) The Experience document we are writing at the moment will go through its own PC period as normal. How ever, this document will explicitly mention and document that as a result of the interop tests, we had to change the XML rendering for the Specification, hence obsoleting the relevant appendices of the Functional Spec and the WSRF rendering, where appropriate, The document then will also explicitly mention that the online version of the XML and WSDL will reflect the latest version of the XML and WSDL. 2.1) We therefore need to add a chapter to the Experience document that describes the changes to the XML and WSDL as outlined above. THat way, we update the spec without having to go through the fairly heavyweight process of a new set of requirements documents. Cheers, Michel
