Andreas and Jem, This sounds pretty good. I think I start with this approach in the Technical Strategy document activity as well. I may come to you for "how to create the version tag" question at some point. On 3 Oct 2006, at 06:13, Andreas Savva wrote:
I've been talking with Jem about re-organizing the trackers and we agreed on the following proposal. If you have any comments or suggestions please respond.
Background: OGSA-WG maintains one tracker per document per version, for a current total of 12 document trackers. (The number of artifacts per tracker vary.) Half of these trackers are for already published documents: they are marked 'closed' and will not be used again. Since many of our documents are likely to be revised again we'll have to set up more trackers. For example, work is already starting on a third version of the Glossary, the Roadmap is expected to be updated periodically and so on.
Proposal: To keep the total number of trackers down and keep the tracker summary view usable the proposal is to re-organize the trackers so that each document has at most 2 trackers associated with it: an archival tracker and a current tracker.
The archival tracker will hold artifacts of *all* past versions of that document. Artifacts will be tagged with an appropriate "Document Version" value so that it is clear which version they relate to (e.g., version 1.0, 1.5, etc). The current tracker will hold all new artifacts, including any artifacts that were deferred in previous versions.
In terms of process, new artifacts will be put in the current tracker. When a document is published all closed artifacts from the current tracker are tagged with the document version and moved to the archival tracker; all deferred artifacts remain on the current tracker and are set back to the open state.
