RE: [sdd] 2.2.11

[Thomas Studwell <studwell@us.ibm.com>]

Here is the fusion between what I submitted and the agreement in this note trail. Hopefully this works for everybody.

2.2.1.11 Progress Feedback: The SDD specification MUST support the ability to include information that enables a provisioning application or installation program to construct relevant feedback for progress, dependency check failures and change execution failures.

Changes are:

1. changed "support the definition of" and "support the ability to define" to: "support the ability to include"
2. changed "which enables" to: "that enables" (even though the grammar checker in word seemed happy with either)

I think that this is good.

I like the suggestion to change allows to enables. That makes option 2 read this way:

Option 2) 2.2.11 The SDD specification must support definition of information which enables a provisioning application or installation program to construct relevant feedback for progress, dependency check failures and change execution failures.

Agree with Option 2 (avoids awkward "support the ability to define" construction), possibly with "allows" changed to "enables".

The original:
2.2.11 The SDD specification must support the ability for the author to define the information in order to specify description information for components and requirements, to allow a provisioning application or installation program to construct a relevant message in the event of dependency check failures, progress messages and change execution failures. This is intended to assist a user in understanding errors and other messages, which may occur during the deployment lifecycle process

John's rewrite:
Option 1) 2.2.11 The SDD specification must support the ability for the author to define the information to allow a provisioning application or installation program to construct relevant feedback for progress, dependency check failures, and change execution failures.

My wordsmithing that maintains John's meaning:
Option 2) 2.2.11 The SDD specification must support definition of information which allows a provisioning application or installation program to construct relevant feedback for progress, dependency check failures and change execution failures.

Please vote for an option or suggest an alternative along with the rationale for your suggestion.
