Public v. private URLs to sca-bpel email archives

[Anish Karmarkar <Anish.Karmarkar@oracle.com>]

Please use the public URLs to sca-bpel email archives in minutes, 
issues, emails, JIRA or anything else.

Each email in OASIS KAVI's email archives has two URLs. One URL is 
member-only and the other is a public URL. Given that the emails are 
accessible public, I don't quite see the point of having member-only 
URLs. But that is what we have and we have to live with it.

Since all our work is publicly accessible and the fact that JIRA (or 
what ever we use for issues) will be publicly accessible, it makes sense 
to use the publicly accessible URL rather than the restricted URLs in 
emails, minutes etc. These URLs will invariably get cut-and-pasted all 
over the place and we'll end with with a URL in JIRA that is member-only 
  unless we are careful.

For example, the f2f meeting minutes can be accessed using the public URL:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bpel/200709/msg00033.html

OR the member-only URL:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-bpel/email/archives/200709/msg00033.html

If you access the email archive from the public page of the TC you get 
to the public archives. If you access the email archive from the member 
page of the TC you get to the member-only archive. Both of them are of 
course exactly the same thing. As is obvious from the URLs the access 
restriction is based on the URL prefix.

If in your emails you are using URLs to emails that start with 
http://www.oasis-open.org then please remember to change it to the ones 
that start with http://lists.oasis-open.org


Thanks.
