proposal)
Robert suggested waiting for the team to start creating packages
before discussing further. It's easy to create different packages.
JoAnn asked (wrt the MI package proposal) how users would add back
the software domain for cases where users document machinery that
includes software.
Gershon suggested identifying common use cases and writing detailed
tutorials that guide users step by step to create the "canned"
specialization they're after (e.g. MI plus software).
The TC agreed to prepare some packages and get some usability
testing on them.
ACTION: Robert to prepare a set of sample packages
ACTION: Robert requested the Chair to move this item to the end of
the agenda until the packages have been created.
ACTION: JoAnn and Gershon to put some use cases (scenarios) together
and then write a starter document to walk users through specializing
packages to get a combined kit that meets their needs.
