My opinion: Very simple. This is for information transfer, to the public as well as for our own use. >Where will the SSTC site/pages be hosted? At www.oasis-open.org like the >above TCs? Yes.

I would suggest that the overall maintainer create/maintain only the pages that apply to the whole TC; they can create a sub-area for each subgroup, within which that subgroup can do whatever they want.

I would say: In the first month, ten pages with significant content. After that, maybe one a week. Updates to keep the links fresh probably every week. Time required in the first month: maybe 4 hrs/wk. After that: maybe 1 hr/wk. > > Optional: > > - Neat-o "look" for the site > >Who decides what constitutes a "neat-o look"? >Models? > http://www.s2ml.org/ ? > http://www.authxml.org/ ? > >How much work is it to maintain pages like these?

I was thinking of the W3C DOM Group site (W3C member only), which has a "weasel" as a logo! :-) > > - Very active maintenance of content and layout > >What constitutes "very active"? How many updates & new pages per week (let's >say)? If someone likes generating web pages with a custom tool for no good reason, or likes to "style" web pages, I don't necessarily want to stand in their way. But I just want a functional, accurate site; plainness is not a negative and I don't need dynamic content or anything. The DocBook site is nice (and I happen to know it's generated from XML); if someone wants the tools to do this, I can point them in the right direction.
