Hi everyone,

at some stage we talked about maybe going for OASIS Standard but 
everyone seems to have been pretty busy since. Our last issue (system 
identifier matching) was discussed a little in January without much 
energy. So do we want to kick the TC back into life and have a phone 
call, or declare victory and close the TC? 

Life still isn't perfect in catalog land; I started writing a 
tutorial and got somewhat stuck trying to get things to work 
sufficiently (see 
http://www.laurenwood.org/anyway/index.php/archives/2004/04/26/technol
ogy-works/; mind you, most of the problems were not really catalog-
related) and haven't finished it yet.

Making the catalogs into an OASIS Standard would cost some time but 
would also give a bit more of a fillip; we would have to do some 
marketing of course (and I'd have to finish that tutorial!)

cheers,

Lauren
