Fw: impending public review for BPEL

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

Hi spec editing team,
As I mentioned on the TC call last week,
I've asked Mary McRae who handles the admin at OASIS on things like public
review docs to take an early look at our spec and advise on any formatting
problems.  She noted that we're missing headers/footers and appropriate
pagination (which we already knew we would want to fix).  

I'm looking for a volunteer to go look
over the template and sample and then, when the time is right take the
to do to handle this formatting job.  
Any takers?  
Thanks.

Hi Diane,
 
  The Word template and sample
can be found at 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/OASIS_Specification_Template_v2.0_Legacy.dot
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/OASIS_Specification_Template_Guidelines.doc
 
  Everything else appears
to be okay - copyright, notice, metadata, etc. 
 
Mary

Thanks - Its been worked on in word but I think the problem is probably
that we've lost (or never had) the appropriate pagination and footers/headers
since I don't see them.  The link I sent you is a word doc that we've
been editing fairly actively  - the last committee draft is htm and
may possibly be better (but still no headers/footers or good paging):  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/download.php/16525/wsbpel-specification-draft%20feb%2001%202006%20no%20tracking.htm
So, It appears we have work to do on this - would you please point me to
the directions for the formatting please so I can get someone thinking
about what we'll need to do for this when the content editing is done?
If you'd look for any other problems, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Diane, 
  
  I'm not sure what's wrong with the document ... it's like the page
breaks are non-existent and there's no running footers or page numbers
or ... Do you see the same thing I'm seeing? Just before each major heading
(section 1, TOC, etc.) there should be a required page break before the
rule/line. The footers have disappeared. 
  
  Was the document originally authored in Word or some other application?
I'm wondering if you're seeing the same results I am. What version of Word
are you (or the person who wrote the document) using? I'd like to troubleshoot
as much as possible so we can spare other TCs from similar problems.
  
Regards, 
  
Mary

Hi Mary, 
The BPEL TC is doing a final edit on the 2.0 specification in preparation
for going to public review.  Our objective is to approve the candidate
following a f2f planned May 1-5 - we've been planning for a start around
May 15.   We've got a lot of work to do and I'm not at all sure we'll
make these dates, but we will try and I expect we'll make it before June
1.  This is part of a plan to reach approval as an Oasis standard
in Oct of this year.   

I have one specific question regarding how to handle the lists of editors
and TC members - many have left, and in many cases are no longer affiliated
with the companies they were representing when they contributed to the
TC.  Is there a convention for how to reference ther company?  I
see a couple cases: 
- those who contributed through a member company and are no longer with
that company.  Its not clear we have contact info in many of these
cases.   
- those who contributed through one member company for a while and then
changed and are now contributing with another member.   
In the latter case, where members are still active, we can ask their preference
I guess.   

Also, would you be willing to take a look at the latest version (clean
through chapter 9 - the remaining ones are deep in review) and let me know
if you see any changes that are required to meet Oasis criteria for public
review?   Its located here:  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/download.php/17612/wsbpel-specification-draft.doc
I'd appreciate any feedback now so that we can correct these now and won't
have a delay once the technical content is complete.  

Thanks.
