Re: [uiml] Schedule of items to be completed before voting on the Committee Specification

["Robbie Schaefer" <robbie@c-lab.de>]

Hi all,

 

some items to be considered:

 

- check if all used examples are consistent with the specification

- minor point: check that examples use english names and are not potentially offensive

  (Not everyone knows that "Sex Pistols" is a punk band ;-)

- check all elements if they require some of the new elements as children (e.g. I found out that

  <when-true>, <when-false> and <by-default> should have <variable> as child)

- Construct 4.0 DTD from the fragments of the spec

- Even better, construct schema (The <alias>-Element is a nice example where the DTD is not

  sufficient)

- Create Metamodel from schema/DTD as Jean did with the 3.1-Version

- Add the newly introduced Elements to section 3

- Check if some other terms have to be defined in section 1.4 such as "Layout"

- Provide (Informative) References for other specs and languages e.g. CTT etc.

 

I have found several small points for improvement/corrections in the document. How should we proceed?

Should all the TC-members edit with "track changes" on in parallel and James tries to update the input

he gets or should we pass the document as a token sequentially?   

 

Best regards,

Robbie.

Subject: [uiml] Schedule of items to be completed before voting on the Committee Specification

Hello all,

 

I have begun to assemble the list of items that we need to finish before the draft specification will be ready for consideration as a committee draft.  As I was putting this together I realized my individual view is probably not sufficient and that I very much would like your input on what still needs to be done. 

 

Please take the next week to review the specification draft I posted to the list last week and send me any items that you believe should be added/edited before the committee takes the specification to a vote.  I will compile everyone's inputs into a schedule to complete the document.  Please send me your inputs by the end of the day on Wednesday, February 28, 2007 and I will post the schedule by March 3, 2007.

 

Thank you,

James Helms
