To: ietf-dav-versioning@w3.org From: "Jim Amsden/Raleigh/IBM" <jamsden@us.ibm.com> Message-ID: <OFBC5E159F.13FD1F71-ON85256962.0056B4B8@raleigh.ibm.com> Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 12:05:02 -0400 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.
