You're the chair, right? :) (I noticed that numbering afterwards.)

| That is the point. We had an agenda for deliverables, and clearly

| expand constantly our original scope, my concern is not to be caught
| by this expansion and not being able to cope with it - even at the
| speed of light.

Well, I've said all along that I didn't believe in the schedule, and
that's because I saw all these issues (and more) coming. Their
appearance doesn't worry me in the least. In fact, if they hadn't
started to crop up by now I would have been frantic, because I knew
they were there.

We're getting there.

| Absolutely. I've been unhappy about the requirements document all
| along, believing it to be far too fuzzy around the edges, but felt
| it would be more productive to shut up and let the work continue.

| You are aging, aren't you ;-)

Yeah, right. 8^)

| Position (2) is actually a new thought to me. I didn't think anyone

* Bernard Vatant
|
| Maybe I've kept a low profile on it, but it's been in my mind from
| the very begining.  Thinking about it, I should keep it low anyway
| in this TC framework if we want to achieve something in a reasonable
| time span. So I agree we stick to (1) - and eventually open a new
| workspace for (2) when the time is ripe.

I agree. We should do TMs for now, and then, before we finalize, do
experiments with RDF etc to make sure we haven't assumed too much.
Doing it that way will make our lives a lot easier, I think.
