Subject: Re: [sca-bindings] Document names and URLs
Based on the discussion on last week's call, here's a new draft of the note to Mary. Is this OK? Simon - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mary, The Bindings TC discussed the naming issue and has decided to revert to the previous names in the short term so that the process of getting to public review can be expedited and is not blocked on the naming issue. The Bindings TC also decided to continue to pursue the adoption of its previously agreed new naming convention with OASIS TC Admin. The TC would like to begin publishing new versions of its documents using the new naming convention and new form of URLs as soon as possible. For documents that have already been published using the existing naming convention, the TC would like to leave these in place at their current URLs. For each of the affected documents, the TC would like to create new "latest" URLs that match the new naming conventions. For the current "latest" URLs, there are two options: 1) For each of the affected documents, use an HTTP redirect from the current "latest" URL to the new "latest" URL. These redirects can be set up as a one-time operation, so that as the documents referenced by the new-form "latest" URLs change in the future, these documents will automatically also become available at the current old-form "latest" URLs. 2) Every time a new document is published, both the new-form "latest" URL and the old-form "latest" URL would be re-linked to point to the new document. This does not require any HTTP redirects, but it does require additional re-linking of "latest" URLs each time new versions of the documents are published. The TC would be willing to accept either of these approaches. Which of them would be most convenient for OASIS TC Admin and IT Services?
