The minutes for the Web Database discussion [1] don't address what we mean by "parking" Web Database. I heard Hixie say it should be included in a call for pre-LC comments thus I included it in the related call on 4 November [2] and members of the group have an opportunity to raise issues if they think Web Database is not ready for a LCWD. However, later in the week, I participated in some hallway discussions where members of the group said they prefer Web Database be "parked" by publishing it as a Working Group Note (rather than a LCWD): [[ http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#q75 Working Group Note A Working Group Note is published by a chartered Working Group to indicate that work has ended on a particular topic. A Working Group MAY publish a Working Group Note with or without its prior publication as a Working Draft. ]] So, when we say we want to "park" Web Database, what do we mean: publish as LCWD, publish as Working Group note, something else? If necessary, we can start a CfC on this question. -Regards, Art Barstow [1] http://www.w3.org/2009/11/02-webapps-minutes.html#item12 [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009OctDec/ 0477.html
