Subject: Great news for collaborative work on oBIX
See below -----Original Message----- From: Drummond Reed [mailto:drummond.reed@cordance.net] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 5:40 PM To: 'James Bryce Clark'; chairs@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: 'Wachob, Gabe'; geoffrey.strongin@amd.com; marc.lemaitre@cordance.net Subject: RE: [chairs] Wikis Jamie (and Mary and the rest of the OASIS staff who worked on this), I was ecstatic to announce this to the XDI TC members last night, who were no less ecstatic that they now had a home for the lightweight collaborative work of the TC for which wikis are ideal. You made an excellent choice in MoinMoin, and the OASIS team also did a super job configuring them and providing a clean interface. I simply cannot tell you how helpful this will be in the work of the XRI and XDI TCs. I thank you, and all the members of these two TCs thank you (and my wife thanks you, and my sons, and our two cats, and...) =Drummond ================ Drummond Reed CTO, Cordance Corporation Co-Chair, OASIS XRI & XDI TCs http://public.xdi.org/=Drummond.Reed -----Original Message----- From: James Bryce Clark [mailto:jamie.clark@oasis-open.org] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 12:31 PM To: chairs@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [chairs] Wikis A number of OASIS TCs have asked for Wiki capability. Wikis have proven to be a useful "scratch space'" tool in communities like ours. The most stable, capable commonly-used Wiki engine that our tech staff have identified is MoinMoin, which several OASIS-related communities use. We plan to make Wiki pages available to any TC that requests it,. Our tech staff has installed a Wiki server and is running a beta test with the XRI and XDI TCs. Expected ground rules: (a) global public readable, (b) write access to TC members, (c) the IPR Policy applies, and (d) archiving of intermediate drafts is intermittent (as with all Wikis), so any permanent artifacts should be moved to the regular TC document repository. As the beta testing TCs do their work, you may find it interesting to watch. See: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri and http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi For more on the MoinMoin engine specifically see: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FrontPage For more on WIkis generally, here's one of many possible resources: http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks Any other TCs that are interested in being part of the beta test, particularly those with robust activity and a strong likelihood to use the resource, should let us know. (Directly, please, not by cc to this broad list.) Our plan is to be done with the testing phase, and integrate a Wiki link into the TC page menus, by late July. This new, optional facility is only one of several significant improvements we're planning to OASIS document handling capabilities in the next few months. Among other things, with the assistance of our Technical Advisory Board, we shortly will be posting a revised plan for naming and location of all TC work product. We expect that this will make uploading, and finding, our work much easier. Regards JBC ~ James Bryce Clark ~ Director, Standards Development, OASIS ~ jamie.clark@oasis-open.org
