Subject: Implementations and Interop

Moving forward, I
think it is extremely important that we have validated multiple interoperable
implementations of XRI parsing and resolution before we should call our
specifications final. Toward that end, I would
1) Like to hear who
is implementing the current draft specifications (and who is these
implementations publicly).
2) When we could set
up a interop event (probably a "virtual" event to start) to test both
interoperability and to validate that the specification is understandable and
unambiguous.
Toward these ends, I
have set up a set of pages on our wiki (linked off of the front page
at http://xri.oasis-open.org/xri under
Interop and Conformance Testing).
For a "virtual
interop" event (which should also lead to significant feedback on the spec
itself), I propose we have participants set up resolution servers and implement
resolution of a variety of test XRI deployments which excercise multiple
features. Participants testing client implementations should then run all tests
against all participants testing server implementations. I actually think we
have some interesting interop testing issues with proxying and lookahead that
we'll have to think through as we get closer.
I propose sometime
in late February for this first interop event - this implies the resolution
specification will have settled down a while before this. I certainly hope
this is the case.
At some point,
we will publish these test "cases" in some more formal way beyond the
wiki. We'll certainly want to publish *results* moving forward.
For those
contributing to the spec, I would especially encourage you to go over to the
wiki and start building out the test cases. This is *absolutely* critical if we
are going to have a usable spec in the wild.
THANKS
-Gabe
