(1)(d) A list of deliverables, with projected completion dates.

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

Another piece I suggest we start working
on:  "(1)(d) A list of deliverables, with projected completion
dates".

However, I'd suggest we discuss this
as if it said "a list of prioritized list deliverables".  From
a practical standpoint, it is impossible to project completion dates until
we have a good idea who will be joining the proposed TC.  Those who
do line up to join the TC can huddle before we submit the charter and turn
the prioritization into projected dates.

So far I've heard the following items
(in no particular order)

1) A conformance test of ODF documents
and implementations, i.e., test the formal shall's and should's, etc.
2) An Acid-style test of ODF implementations,
i.e., feature and rendering-oriented, essentially highlighting ODF features
that are not widely implemented (or implemented correctly) but are desired
(by whom???)
3) A comprehensive test suite of atomic
(single feature) tests
4) A formal profile of ODF for portability
and archiving, aka ODF/A
5) A formal profile of ODF for browser-based
applications
6) A formal profile of ODF for mobile
devices
7) A report on best practices for authoring
portable documents
8) A periodic interoperability report
on the state of ODF interoperability, with specific recommendations for
implementors.

What did I miss?

Let's get the list complete, and then
we can have a round of scoring, where we each prioritize each deliverable
on a scale of 1-10 (10 is highest priority).  We can use that to inform
the overall priorities and eventual the projected schedule.
