Re: [chairs] updates Kavi status

[Pete Wenzel <pete@seebeyond.com>]

I'm not certain that solution will work....  People without an OASIS
login are not able to chase links that terminate in the TC Member
section (the one with "workgroup" in the URL).  The "Share With
General Public" option must be selected for each document, in which
case it automatically appears in the flat list on the TC's public
homepage (which has "committees" in the URL) that Norman is taking
issue with.

You might, however, be able to place a link to such an HTML index file
on the TC's public homepage, and hope that people use that, rather
than the "Documents" link, to make sense of your public document
collection.
