Greg, sorry, forgot to get you into this mail in the first place.

Cheers, Michel

Hi, Michel. We'd like to start an Errata list, and the GFSG agreed in principle to this...perhaps with something like a 90-day grace period for updating/replacing documents as needed. Sort of a blend of IETF policy and a more relaxed approach that GGF has had so far. We could probably just keep a plain text or HTML errata page for individual documents, making them available from the main document link at ggf.org. Or something a little different -- this is something that we just started planning, but any ideas are welcome. -- Greg

Folks,

thanks to Ralf, there is another typo known in the spec.

Though it is not a serious mistake (it is just in an example, after all), I wonder if it is feasible to burden the GGF Editor with all these small nits and bits to update the specs.

To the GGF process experts: Does GGF provide something like a maintained errata list for published specs, similar to the IETF (e.g. an errata list for HTTP/1.1)? Or do the WG have to do that themselves? What if WG have dissolved, and errata are discovered afterwards? Is there a general need to define a process for that?

Cheers, Michel

Hi Michel&Donal,

I just noticed a minor copy/paste bug in the JSDL specs.

In the examples for the Posix extensions -51) there is:

page 50: <jsdl-posix:Input filesystemName="HOME"> output.txt </jsdl-posix:Input>

page 51: <jsdl-posix:Input filesystemName="HOME"> error.txt </jsdl-posix:Input>

it should obviously be: <jsdl-posix:Output filesystemName="HOME"> output.txt </jsdl-posix:Output>

and

<jsdl-posix:Error filesystemName="HOME"> error.txt </jsdl-posix:Error>

Besides that, I like it :-) Ralf
