Hi all I haven't been following the progress in this group for quite a while, as a matter of fact I do not even know if this channel is still official. I've been asked by Greg from UKRI STFC in UK (in CC) about the status of the Open Enumerations registry at https://github.com/OGF-GLUE/Enumerations I recall David Meredith was taking care of merging pull requests but I do not see any updated procedure anywhere and I think he is no longer actively doing the merges. I wonder how we should go about it. Right now most of my research group is on vacation and I do not know how much NorduGRID/ARC is interested in being part of this. If Greg and UKRI STFC are interested in maintaining the registry I will gladly give them rights to approve merge requests. My only complaint after a quick look at the current pull requests https://github.com/OGF-GLUE/Enumerations/pulls Is that some of the new strings are not all lowercase. I would prefer they are all lowercase at least, to be consistent with the rest of GLUE2. But I do not know what happened in GLUE2.1 and how much you kept consistency. I must sadly say I lost interest long ago in the group activities mainly for the lack of consistency in some that I believe were critical decisions so my enthusiasm about the subject is low. About the pending merge requests, I think the namespaces in the pull requests are all well formed, one should check case by case how much they conform to the expected values and how good the descriptions are, I remember we had different opinions about these details as well but I forgot what it was about. I have the feeling the word ServiceType is overused as there is some confusion about what is a GLUE2 ServiceType and what is a GOCDB servicetype, but as said I've been far from this and lost track. I'd say from my side as long as it doesn't affect ARC/NorduGRID negatively I don't really care about which strings end up in this registry. I think the main point is, was there ever consensus on this document which defines formats and other similar things? http://redmine.ogf.org/dmsf_files/13224?download= Clearly not since the document suggest scheduled venues for the merges that clearly never happened. Sad. But partly also my bad for not following up. Would be nice to update such document and the information on github with the actual procedure including pull requests.
