RE: [office-collab] Use Case coverage for extended-ct-proposal -request

Wiki updated. However, I do have a few concerns.

The list of cases under “Multiple Changes” and “Other” seems somewhat arbitrary. I’m not comfortable thinking that “Multiple Changes” is a definitive list of multiple change cases that are particularly sticky for ODF. There are likely redundancies and omissions thinking from the perspective of such a list, somewhat of a suite of test cases. Indeed, there are new multiple change cases I added to the supplement 1 doc based on questions Ganesh raised. How are we accounting for those?

The “Other” list does not explain at all what each case is.

This concerns me as it seems these lists are being looked to as a formal yardstick. So, I’m a bit concerned that the Wiki lists are based in large part on the set of examples that happened to have been created prior to the SC. Many of them are valid and valuable, of course, but there are certainly omissions and likely redundancies.

Subject: [office-collab] Use Case coverage for extended-ct-proposal - request for details

John,

Please would you update the wiki page for Use Cases to indicate for each Use Case whether or not this is covered in your proposal or not?

I suggest if a Use Case is covered (i.e. included in your proposal document) but not demonstrated (i.e. worked example available), you indicate 'To do'. If it is not covered by your proposal mark as 'Out of scope', or other comment that may be appropriate. From the email discussions it appears that a category 'In scope but not yet defined' might be appropriate.

I am requesting this as SC Chair in order that the members have the best possible information on which to base a decision. It is important that all members understand the scope of the extended-ct-proposal.

It would he helpful to have this information as soon as possible, so if you can complete it this week (by 3rd April) that would be good.

Thanks,
Robin
