I forgot to post these slides to gridforge. These are the ones where we discussed the various simplification issues on our 8/2 call. I had previously emailed these to this list, but I updated them with notes about our selected resolutions of the issues. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/viewDocument/projects.dfdl-wg/docma...

For those editing the core document..... I want to specifically call people's attention to a part of the "Core" document called "Hints to Authors and Editors". This is a list of ideas for how we can write consistently. Mostly simple stuff like "use present tense not future tense", etc. You'll also want to read over some of the early parts of the document as they now call out things like error types so that we can be consistent about the way we identify error situations and classify them as to what type of error they are. Also, if you are not listed in the Contributors at the end of the document (e.g., Tom S.) and you would like to be, then please add yourself there. ...mikeb Mike Beckerle STSM, Architect, Scalable Computing IBM Software Group Information Integration Solutions Westborough, MA 01581 voice and FAX 508-599-7148 home/mobile office 508-915-4795 Mike Beckerle/Worcester/IBM@IBMUS Sent by: owner-dfdl-wg@ggf.org 08/09/2006 12:47 PM To dfdl-wg@ggf.org cc Subject [dfdl-wg] Latest Working Docs Posted There are 6 documents in this zip.
