Proposed change in UBL 2.2 distribution regarding spreadsheet files

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Fellow UBL TC members,

In the UBL 2.0 and UBL 2.1 distributions the only pairs of .ods/.xls 
spreadsheet files were the individual pairs found in the mod/common/ 
and mod/maindoc/ subdirectories.  There was no pair of .ods/.xls 
spreadsheets for the entire model of all maindocs and the common 
library as we maintain as a Google spreadsheet.

I propose we add the one pair of .ods/.xls spreadsheets to the mod/ 
subdirectory and we abandon the mod/common/ and mod/maindoc/ 
subdirectories with 132 files (soon to be over 180 files).  Getting 
rid of 180 files will certainly reduce our file count.

Note that even though the maindoc worksheet names in Google are 
abbreviated on export (because of what I have reported as a bug for 
supporting only short 31-character worksheet names), it seems that 
OpenOffice and Excel allow very long worksheet names.  I will edit 
out the prefix and suffix of the model name for the sheet name so 
that "UBL-Catalogue-2.1" becomes "Catalogue", but I won't abbreviate 
other parts of the name in the distribution the way they need to be in Google.

Do you think our users will accept navigating only the one pair of 
large .ods/.xls spreadsheets of all components, or should I also 
create UBL 2.2 versions of the individual pairs of .ods/.xls for each 
maindoc as we did in previous distributions?

Thank you for your feedback on this.

. . . . . . . . Ken
