Subject: Review the spec...
Well, it seems to me that, even though we're not meeting this week, those of
us who were going to the meeting committed to spend 2 days reading through
the spec. and discussing our comments. Since that time is presumably still
free, I recommend we all do the spec. readthrough we were going to do
anyway, and just email our comments to the list. I'll leave it up to you
whether you want to send them in one big email, or one issue at a time.
Once we do this, I guarantee we will make significant progress this week,
even without the meeting. The progress we make on the protocol really is
directly related to the amount of time we spend working on it. So, not
holding the meeting this week is a bummer, but it would be far worse if we
didn't hold the meeting AND that time got captured working on something
else. So, go lock yourself into your office, take the phone off the hook,
and read the protocol spec. at
http://www.webdav.org/deltav/protocol/draft-ietf-deltav-versioning-03.txt
I'm going to aim for getting my comments out by the end of the day
Wednesday -- hope you all can do the same (or faster!). And, of course,
even if you were not planning on attending the meeting, you should also feel
encouraged (or dare I say, obligated) to also send in your review comments.
With all of us pushing, this spec. will be done in a jiffy. If we all wait
for someone else to do the work, it'll take longer, and we'll just get
frustrated. Though the choice to hold this meeting is out of our hands,
what is still very much in our control is the rate of progress we make on
the protocol specification.
