Notes from meeting today

Title: Notes from meeting today

(1) received a list of participants from Layna.  Need to clarify which of these people are really interested in participating, and which actually just want to be an observer.  Justin will compose a form email for the ones with email addresses.  Without email addresses we will have to ignore for now.  FSW will contact Handysoft to find out their intentions, as well as "Together" to find out how much they can participate.

(2) It was agreed to hold the Feb 28 demo using the same version of the ASAP spec that we used in June.  Tibco is already implemented and does not have resources now.  John says there are comments and changed in WS_Addressing that indicate we might risk implementing something incompatible if we started on that now.  It does mean that if someone wants to join, they will have to implement the "pre-WS-Addressing" version, which is too bad, but a necessary risk.

The Wf-XML demo will consist at a minimum of Tibco and Fujitsu.  We can pretty much count on Together Teamlosungen but need to make sure.  EasyASAP will be there for the asap part.  Need to check on HandySoft.  Not sure about Advantys.  This is enough to go forward on for Black Forest.

(3) Justin has been working with the XPDL process definitions from Advantys and has that working.  Similar processes from Fujitsu might have been damaged during the removal of extended attributes.

(4) WS-Addressing: two main issues: one with groups and validating.  The other with "action" field.  What should it be?  Can we come up with a profile for approaching the "action" setting.

(5) Need to send another message to Yang at FlowRing to see if he can produce the XML Schema for WfXML.
