Subject: Plan for Last Call
Good news! The members of the Delta-V design team feel that the WebDAV
Versioning Specification has reached the point that it is ready for Last
Call. We would like to submit by the end of this month (September). So if
you can, give the spec a thorough review and if you have any pressing
issues you'd like addressed before last call, let us know within the next
week. The duration for last call will be six weeks giving plenty of time
for review as well as a few weeks before the December IETF to address any
issues that come up. We'll address these issues at a Delta-V working group
meeting and design team meetings during the December IETF with the goal to
resolve all remaining issues.
I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in producing a quality
draft covering a complex subject area. We've got something here that will
really make a difference enabling client applications to access resources
managed by a number of repository managers. In particular, I'd like to
thank Geoff Clemm for his tireless efforts in editing the many drafts, and
for his attention to detail and thoughtful explanations of difficult
concepts. Thanks to everyone, we've tamed the versioning beast!
So let's all gear up for the big push to get this thing through last call
so we can get some implementations in the works and continue our journey
down the path of draft proposed standard.
