Re: [sca-assembly] Exit Criteria Proposal - updated

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

Curious, the differing interpretations
of language.

It was certainly my intention to capture
the notion that there must be 2 SCA runtimes EACH OF WHICH conforms to

all the normative statements in the
Assembly spec.  Given that my actual wording confused folks, then
perhaps I
need to tweak the words:

"The Concrete Exit Criteria for
the SCA Assembly V1.1 specification are that 
there shall be at least 2 independent
SCA runtimes each of which are compliant
with each normative portion of the specification
as described in Section
12.2 of the SCA Assembly V1.1 specification"



I think that this should make it clear
what is required.

I also think that we should not try
to extend the exit criteria beyond this, since I believe that we can agree
on this
formulation, but that adding anything
more is likely to lead to unproductive conflict.

Hi,

One thing I think needs clarification is "two SCA
runtimes". Do the two SCA runtimes have to be "conformant"?

Specifically, does the following case satisfy the exit
criteria:

1. Three runtimes that on their own implement only a subset
of the normative statements such that no single runtime implements all
normative statements
2. When taken together there are always at least two runtimes
that implement a normative statement.

If this scenario satisfies the exit criteria, it raises
the possibility that there may be no "conformant" SCA runtimes.


Or, is it the case that the two runtimes must be "conformant"
to all normative statements?

This meets the terms of the Charter and I believe that it is clear and
straightforward.
