RE: [ws-rx-implement] Interoperability and the F2F

[Doug Davis <dug@us.ibm.com>]

Well, if we assumed that specs wouldn't
have any huge changes then I guess we could shoot for a scenario doc being
completed around the same time as the March F2F.  That would mean
"DD/MM  - TC approves next CD"
would change to "DD/MM  - 4 weeks
before March F2F" .
 I can live with that - but I'd really like to heard from other members
of this mailing list.
thanks,

It will be desirable to get the
input  from the Interop Subcommittee (bugs in the spec, essentially
new issues if any) before the March (tentatively) F2Fin order to have enough
time to accommodate the input before sending the specs out for public review.
Doug, would that be possible with your proposed schedule for the Interop
Subcommittee?
 
Thanks,
Sanjay

Updated the proposal to make it relative to the next CD since basing an
interop 
on WDs doesn't make as much sense.  Changed dates to be relative dates.
__________________ 

In terms of presenting something to the TC during next week's
F2F, what about this: 

DD/MM  - TC approves next CD 

+ 4wks - Send a draft scenario document to the TC.
         This scenario doc should try to cover interoperability
         for the features defined in the core spec.
[*] 

+ 2wks - Final date for feedback from the TC on the doc.
         TC doesn't need to formally approve it but
we request 
         suggestions/comments by this date.

+ 2wks - Unless we totally messed up the first draft and just need
         to make minor changes based on the feedback,
we 
         produce the official scenario doc that will
be used 
         for the interop event.
         Send out an official notification of the interop
event 
         and doc(s). 

+ 6wks - Shoot for an interop event this week.
         Previous interops allowed for 6 weeks between
scenario doc 
         being published and the event itself.

[*] Questions:   

Both specs or just core spec?  Do we want people to support
ws-policy?  I'm leaning towards just the core spec.

What type of event do we want?  Personally, I like the idea of
a virtual interop but I know that the pressure of a f2f helps
force people to make the dates. 
(virtual == put up an endpoint (RMS and RMD) on the web)
 for example: http://wsi.alphaworks.ibm.com:8080/wsrm/index.html
 so people can test at will) 

What kind of results do we want to publish and how do we want to
publish them?  Generic: "it went well" - or specific "company
X 
passed 1,2,3 but not 4,5,6"  ???  Do we even want to publish
anything at all?  What does Oasis require?

thoughts? 

thanks
