Subject: Progress report on XRI Res 2.0 WD11 ED06
Good news and bad news: The good news is that editing is proceeding very smoothly,
with that nice sound of all the pieces falling into place with no (repeat NO)
new issues arising (yet ;-) The bad news: I’ve used up 1.5 days of the 2.0 ideal days
I predicted it will take for ED06 and I’m still not quite halfway done. The
reason is simple: besides rewriting section 12 from scratch, the decisions we
made about Redirect and Ref processing ripple throughout the entire spec. Not
just in the text, but in all the flowcharts. (I knew the flowcharts would need
updating, but I didn’t expect a complete overhaul.) Back to the good news: in that overhaul, the new Redirect
and Ref processing rules make the flowcharts considerably simpler and easier to
follow, so it will be worth it. Updated estimate: since I have to fly to San Diego and back tomorrow,
I will get at most a half-day’s writing time on the plane. I will need at
least another ideal day beyond that to complete everything. Since Thursday and
Friday are each half-booked, that means it will take me into early next week to
complete ED06. Monday I fly to Boston, so I will likely use that plane trip to
do the final editing, then post ED06 next Tuesday morning. I’ll leave it to Gabe to decide whether we should hold
our XRI/XDI telecon this week (my vote is no so I can use the time on the
spec). In any case, I’d ask everyone to please reserve time next Tuesday
and Wednesday, Oct. 16 and 17, to review ED06 carefully and compile
comments/feedback so we can hold a full-scale final review telecon on Thursday
Oct. 18. We should be down to just nits by that point, but with a spec of this
size, even dealing with nits could take a few days, and we absolutely want to
compete the Committee Draft vote before the end of the month. =Drummond |
