[xtm-wg] XTM Specification: Final Draft

[Steve Pepper <sylvia@multinet.no>]

Due to problems with a mail server I have not received any
postings to this list since Murray's note

   ANNOUNCE: Update of TopicMaps.Org XTM Repository of 2001-02-01
   dated 17:59 01/02/01 -0800

The participating members have been aware of this situation and
Sam has sent me his comments directly via another account. (They
constituted 8 papers of double column text in 8pt Courier, and
were exceedingly useful. Thank you, Sam! We have processed every
single one, and most (but not all) are reflected in the latest
text.)

I am aware that Murray has raised some issues concerning his
resignation and modifications to the DTD, but I haven't seen
these, and will therefore refrain from commenting until I have
done so.

The situation with respect to the XTM specification is as
follows:

* The editors delivered their Final Draft on February 3rd, as
   instructed. It was sent directly to all Participating Members.
   It has apparently not yet been posted to the topicmaps.org
   web site, due to the fact that the webmaster is no longer
   discharging his duties. I have therefore just uploaded it to
   the xtm-wg file area on YahooGroups.

* We are now in the final review phase, during which the editors
   will take comments up to midnight on Wednesday Feb 7th EST.

* On Feb 10th, a Review Specification will be published and, at
   the same time, sent out for balloting by the participating
   members of TopicMaps.Org. The voting period ends on Feb 17th.

The editors look forward to receiving your comments as soon as
possible.

Best regards,

Steve
