Subject: FW: [chairs] your input on OASIS functionality enhancements
Note the #1 item on this OASIS TC chair's list of new features he'd like to see from OASIS. I believe the demand for persistent XRIs is latent throughout Internet infrastructure. =Drummond -----Original Message----- From: Bill Pope [mailto:zpope@pobox.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 7:14 AM To: karl.best@oasis-open.org; Chairs OASIS Cc: jamie.clark@oasis-open.org; jeff.lomas@oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [chairs] your input on OASIS functionality enhancements Thanks for the performance improvements. There still seem to be some delays with email distribution, but better than it was. Persistent, referenceable URLs for documents is highest on my list. Agree completely with others comments about the attendance tracking system. =bill -----Original Message----- From: Karl F.

Last spring we rolled out the new collaborative tools from Kavi, including membership roster management, balloting, email lists, document repository, action items, etc. While the rollout didn't go as smoothly as we had hoped I think that we've got most of the bugs worked out. We've recently updated the attendance notification scripts (and as a reminder, these rely on your keeping your rosters and meeting attendance current), and our IT staff has over the holidays upgraded the Kavi software so you should see some significant performance improvements. We have also recently launched the OASIS Standards Registry for the purpose of sharing information about the status of our technical work. We're asking our member organizations to submit information about their implementations of OASIS TC specifications. We'll also be working on synchronizing some aspects of the registry data with the information stored in the Kavi database so that we don't have to enter identical information in two places. I've had on my list for some time now the development of a document management system, including functionality for persistent URLs, version control, checkin/out, etc. I gathered some input from you last spring and summer, and we're going to resume putting together the design for this system so that we can then start development. It's evident that this functionality is needed by our TCs, and we want to be able to deliver this soon. I would like to hear from you what other functionality is crucially needed by the TCs for their operation. While our development resources are limited and so we must concentrate on those things most important to the largest number of our members, we want to hear from you what sorts of things we ought to be working on. (We would also be interested in hearing about any development resources that any of our member companies could contribute to our infrastructure efforts.) Please reply to this list or to me directly over the next couple of weeks so that we on the OASIS staff can make our development plans for the rest of the year. -Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
