Subject: [trans-ws] Minutes of Trans-WS teleconference
Minutes Trans-WS Teleconference - 30 January 2003, 4pm Dublin/London time 1/
roll call Attending: Peter, Tony, Bill, Gerard, Paul, Milan, Reinhard, Steven, Yuri, Andrei, Steven
2/ Minutes of previous meeting were accepted. 3/ Scope of work Loosely dividing into three issues - The Service (functionality) The technology Peter: These issues will be considered together with the emails which TC members have sent describing individual goals of Trans Web Services. TC to work towards agreement on the work to be undertaken over the next three to six months. Comments from TC: Steve: interested in broader views, like engineering, QA, not just translation. Need to define what’s included in the initial set beyond translation. Gerard – aspects mentioned could be defined under WSMCCM, which is a standard for defining workflow where participants may not know of each others. Suggests that we discuss Paul – on financial side, must be some payments standards – so we don’t have to reinvent. Peter – not in a position to fully scope our work. Translation is the obvious place to start, since everyone will have interest in this. Tony agreed with Steve that we should include other areas of localization process from the start. Bill to circulate the list of functionality, and all will reply with their ideas before next meeting. 4/ Schedule Review: Timescale for final draft deliverables as modified at this meeting (emphasis added to changes/additions): - TwS 1.0 TWS
Overview Abstract 8 weeks after first meeting (new interim milestone) - TwS 1.0 TWS Business Process Terminology
Specification; 12 weeks after 1st meeting Tony doesn’t think the present schedule is feasible – e.g. 4 more meetings to complete final version of spec is unrealistic unless we change the meeting frequency. Reinhard suggested that we initially work on an abstract introduction report, then a more detailed technical spec that lists the exact methods or tModels that will be delivered. Peter suggested that the schedule can be left as is and that the TC schedule a face 2 face meeting to thrash out the work very quickly, and in this way the TC can make up some time. TC agreed with this sentiment. 5/ Implementation – TC decided that it’s too early for this topic – need to define deliverables per item 3 first. 6/ Co-ordinating between localisation standards Gerard felt that it would be advantageous to work
with other standards bodies, sooner rather than later. Gerard will send around a mail detailing the various
file standards that we should incorporate into our work, especially with file
transfers, etc. Peter mentioned an ad hoc teleconference between the
various localization / globalization teams is scheduled for next week in order
to discuss areas of common interest and define ways of working more effectively
together. Since all agenda items were discussed, the meeting was
adjourned without motion. Next meeting
in 2 weeks – same time/same dial in instructions. Reminders and agenda to be sent in advance. |
