RE: [cgmopen-members] Resources & Products

["Cruikshank, David W" <david.w.cruikshank@boeing.com>]

I would agree with #2 or #3.  Currently when I am asked for recommendations
on products, I refer them to the CGM Open web site and then I have to refer
them to which are actual vendors.  I think a resource area would be
appropriate addressing various type of products.

thx...Dave

CGM Open Members --

I would like your thoughts on an idea that was raised and discussed again 
at Orlando:  vendor CGM products referenced from a section of the 
"Resources" page on our web site.

This was discussed a while ago (Newport Beach meeting?), and we concluded 
that we didn't want to be putting web pages of product specific stuff on 
the site.  But that doesn't mean we couldn't create a reference section, 
for example.

Possibilities:

1.) nothing:  as now, only member links from "Members" page (for all
members)
2.) minimal:  from a ../resource/ page, links to vendor members who have 
CGM products
3.) moderate:  on a ../resource/ page, listings of vendor product names, 
with brief (1 sentence) description, and links to member sites for 
details.  Could be:  by vendor, by product type (viewer, editor, 
transcoder, toolkit, ...), or a combination.
4.) maximal:  the full-info idea that was rejected at Newport Beach

What are your preferences?

Regards,
-Lofton.
(CGM Open Program Director)
