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


Hi Paul,

I am ok with putting the acknowledgements in WD5. However, I do not think
that working on separate technical changes to the spec in parallel in
different WDs is a workable approach in general. There could be cases where
this works, but there are others where it doesn't. For example, the changes
related to TOSCA-4 and TOSCA-5 are heavily dependent on each other and
separating them does not work. I.e. WD5 for TOSCA-5 must be based on WD4
for TOSCA-4.

That said, I think we can go the approach of parallel active WDs for some
changes that are separated enough, but we should not force this approach.

Regards,
Thomas

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

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






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
