RE: Editor Procedure - Editorial non-semantic Changes & acknowledgements

["Lipton, Paul C" <Paul.Lipton@ca.com>]

Hi Thomas,

Let's put it in WD5, as we are voting on WD-4 this week. 

Regarding the base that WD5 is derived from, we talked about keeping the changes in WDs separate and using the previous CSD as a base for all WDs. When we reviewed timelines, you said you were OK with it. That said; I realize that it is more work for the editors and pointed that out, in fact. The advantage to the approach is that it makes it perfectly clear to the TC what changes are associated with what issue. It also allows the TC to change its mind and exclude a WD from a CSD, which can be very handy. The disadvantage is that the editors have to merge the changes from the WDs that are contributing to a specific CSD, so we will try to keep the number of WDs per new CSD low. 

For example, I had imagined that if TOSCA-4, TOSCA-5, and TOSCA-3 are all approved in the next 2-3 weeks, that their WDs would constitute a clear batch of somewhat related changes and should constitute CSD02, which we could publish before the end of April. It would require that the editors take the changes from 3 documents and merge them, although in many cases they would be in different parts of the document and it would not be that hard. 

If you are still OK with this approach, then WD5 (like WD4) should be based on the good TOC version of CSD01. As agreed, purely editorial changes like spelling (associated with TOSCA-10) can be put in any WD that is convenient to the editors (maybe not right before of vote :-) ), as needed, such as WD5. 

Does this make sense? Are you agreeable? 

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

the current WD is WD04 for TOSCA-4. We could stick the acknowledgements section into this WD as well. For the list of people to put into the section, I exported the roster from Kavi and took all Members and Voting Members plus Chairs.
Let me know, if putting this into WD04 is ok, or if we should wait for WD04 to be finalized and then having the acknowledgements in a WD05 based on WD04.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Just to be clear, let’s stick the acknowledgements section, fixed footer, etc. in WD05. You’ll have to figure out if TOSCA-10 needs to be noted again for WD05, of course. My intuition is yes, but I am not sure.

Also, Simon and I will provide a list of members and voting members for the acknowledgements. I can’t imagine that the TC will object if the acknowledgements section also contains up front:

“The TOSCA TC would like to thank our editors, Thomas Spatzier and Arvind Srinivasan, for their outstanding work and commitment.”

Thanks,
Paul
