I’ve
uploaded our proposal to the Standards folder of the
document section here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/41520/extended-ct-proposal.odt
Given
that both proposals seem to address the majority of the
defined use cases, I think it would be useful to have a
discussion about the two general approaches that have been
suggested before we get too far into the details of markup
examples. I agree that analysis of those details is an
important step, but first we need to make a higher-level
decision regarding the tradeoffs between a new XML-generic
approach and an extension of the existing functionality. I
think it would be useful to discuss those tradeoffs among SC
members, to determine whether we have consensus on either of
the two approaches currently on the table.
What
do others think? Should we schedule some time to begin that
discussion?
Regards,
Doug
Doug, John,

Thanks for getting this proposal to the SC on schedule.
Yes, please do upload to the documents section at
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-collab/documents.php
in the Standards folder
(it does not seem possible to upload documents to our wiki)
We need to have a single way to reference your proposal and
the existing one and I suggest:
"extended-ct-proposal" for your proposal to extend the
change tracking mechanism
"generic-ct-proposal" for the existing proposal for an
xml-generic approach to change tracking
(I think it would be wrong to use company names and
potentially confusing to use A and B)
We have some 60 Use Cases and in order to evaluate the
proposals we need to see as many of these as possible as
worked examples. Please would you look at these and do as
many as you can, and upload in a zip to the Use Cases
folder:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-collab/documents.php
Any that you are not able to do, please indicate if they are
outside the scope of your proposal or just not yet covered.
I think it best to add this info to the wiki page so I have
made
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/ChangeTrackingUseCases
into a tabular form so for each proposal we can record the
status, e.g. 'Completed', 'To Do', 'Out of scope'
It would be useful to do something similar for the wiki page
on Requirements so I will add a table to that page also.
Best regards,
Robin

Attached is a proposal for improving the
existing change tracking specification in ODF 1.2, as
previously mentioned. Robin, please let me know if we should
upload this to the wiki.
We’re looking forward to discussing this
proposal after people have had a chance to take a look. John
has pulled together the bulk of this proposal, so he can
answer any specific questions about the details.
Regards,
Doug
