Subject: RE: [soa-rm] SOA-RM draft in OpenOffice
|
Matt, Thanks for the explanation. What you are saying is very troubling
indeed. This whole process as you describe it is not very open. One person having complete and total control on how the draft is
written and organized is very troubling. It may seem very appropriate to have
one single copy of it that is not accessible by others, but there are so many
disadvantages to this approach. When a regular member of the TC modifies a draft and uploads it to the
Oasis site, it does not mean that his/her modifications are permanent.
Incorporating the modifications directly into the draft gives the author all
the flexibility of expression, and it makes the document available to the TC
for further discussions until the day of the vote where certain things may be
adopted and others may be rejected and the editors of the spec would then do
the clean up based on what was adopted and what was rejected by merging it into
another draft with a different version that is also uploaded to the site. But
this is not what is most troubling. What is most troubling is the fact that the
whole set of place-holders and sections seems to have been fixed forever. What
if a member wants to add other sections, or even modify the whole organization
of the draft? I guess your answer would be that the time for adding
place-holders was gone. Thanks, Hamid. P.S. When you are done with your DocBook version, would you please at
least upload the DocBook version? -----Original Message----- Hamid, 2 things: 1) You are not an editor of the specification. You do not sign up
for any sections when that was happening last week. 2) FYI, editors of the specification send their work to me in vanilla
MS Word format. I take the submitted content and work it into the
master document. There is only one copy of the master specification in
play. This master document *may* be maintained in docbook. I am working
on the toolchain for that at the moment. -Matt Hamid Ben Malek wrote: > This may sound like a stupid question: How can we edit the spec if
