Subject: RE: [xdi] Weekly TC telecons
Bill, Sorry for the slow response -- I was offline during the Thanksgiving break and am still catching up on email. I very much endorse the idea of returning to regular unofficial calls, the same way the XRI TC does, and Thursday 3-4PT is a good time slot for me (the XRI TC calls are 4-6PT). Anyone else on the list, if is this is NOT a good time slot for you, please email the list and propose and alternate. Otherwise *silence will be deemed consent*. Bill, you mention starting Thursday the 8th, however I assume you meant Thursday the 7th. Right now Marty Schleiff, Laurie Rae, Gabe Wachob, and I are meeting in S.F. on that day (the day after the Internet Identity Workshop which runs from the 4th through the 6th). The meeting is to go over the XRI $ Dictionary specification draft that Marty and Laurie and I have been developing. Since there is very strong synergy between the XRI $ Dictionary and the XDI $ Dictionary, I think we can justify taking an hour to have an XDI TC call before the XRI TC call at 4PM. I like your suggested agenda items, and agree that they will take several meetings to get through. Also I know Andy Dale will be on an extended break with his wife and family through the end of the year, so we'll want to hold final decisions on some of these topics until he's back. As a final note, the priority of finishing the XRI 2.0 spec cycle has not changed -- myself and others on the XRI TC still need to give that top billing until it is done. That's the primary factor delaying my having more time to put into XDI. However steadily more synergy is developing, particularly in the dictionary work, so I am in agreement that we need to start ramping up the XDI TC work starting with this call on Dec. 7th. Again, if anyone on the TC would like to participate in weekly calls but cannot make a Thursday 3-4PM PT time slot, please email the list with an alternate proposal. Otherwise, let's plan on restarting weekly calls on Thursday, Dec. 7th, 3-4PM PT. I will send out a telecon number and agenda the day before each call. (I'll sync up with Bill to structure the agenda items he suggests below.) =Drummond -----Original Message----- From: barnhill_william@bah.com [mailto:barnhill_william@bah.com] Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 10:54 AM To: xdi@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [xdi] Weekly TC telecons Hi all, I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday, and shopping afterwards. I'd like to propose a new regular time of Thursday 3-4 PT on a weekly basis to ramp up the XDI work done within the TC, ne4xt on on Dec. 8th. This will allowus to meet while XRI is finishing road to 2.0. Proposed agenda items for upcoming meetings: 1) XDI Charter 1a) Where do we stand on a revised draft 1b) A review of progress against the charter 2) XDI Schema 17 2a) Vote to finalize as XDI schema 1.0 3) XDI Dictionary 4a) report from Marty 4b) Dictionary Extension Proposal concept 4) SVN? Anyone know if it's up after move? I tried it using http://svn.oasis-open.org/xdi and server is up, but won't let me in with OASIS userid and password. Correct URL, or what? 5) XDI Services 5a) Service payload XDI, but we need to specify types expected, what they mean, and how they are used 5b) SOAP binding 5c) Bill's proposal (to be published before meeting) 6) Doc content re-use 6a)We have lots of XDI presentations, white papers, etc out there. Is it possible to get them contributed to the TC? Ideally contributed in XHTML form. 6b)I've been working with the DITA 1.3 toolkit. It has some quirks, but generally works well. I propose all new XDI documentation is created in DITA using separate concept files mapped into a topic hierarchy, allowing us to re-use things like definitions, explanations, examples, etc. 6c) Survey of interest in a TC sub-committee to investigate pros/cons of XITA ("zita"), a concept of a next generation DITA that leverages XRI's unique qualities for specialization, and stores all content as XDI including maps and topics, and stores schema and stylesheet fragments as XDI-wrapped XML data. The above will probably be spread over 2-3 meetings, I'd imagine, assuming Drummond/Geoffrey approve all the above agenda items. Thanks, Bill
