Dear Colleagues, We would like to make the following points with respect to section 1.3 Terms. 1. Can section 1.4 Notational Convention be placed before Terms? This would eliminate some forward references, thus making the document easier to read. 2. Can the following sentence be added just after the first sentence in section 1.3? "Note that RFC 2518 uses terms from RFC 2068 which is superseded by RFC 2616." This would make it easier for someone who starts with this document (RFC 2518). He or she would know immediately that RFC 2068 can be ignored. 3. The difference between "Version-Controlled Resource" and "Working Resource" is not clear. In some sense, they are both working resources. The only difference is that "Working Resources" disappear after check-in and "Version-Controlled Resources" do not. Confusingly, workspaces contain version-controlled resources and normally not working resources. Can we change "Working Resource" to something like "Client-Managed Resource" or "Client-Workspace Resource". After all, the main difference is that "Working Resources" are there to support client managed workspaces. In any event, a bit more description would help. How would the following be? Client-workspace Resource A "client-workspace resource" is a modifiable copy of a version resource used to support client managed workspaces. It is similar to a versioned-controlled resource, except that it is transient. It is created by a check-out request against a version resource and it is normally deleted by a check-in request. 4. The definitions of activity resource, variant resource, and variant-controlled resource are not clear. I discussions with Geoff and Jim the line was that an activity represents both a branch and a change set. That functionally they are the same. A variant seems to also represent a branch, or at least the end of one. Actually, it seem set of branches is a better description. The division does not seem very clear to us. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks, James J. Hunt Jürgen Reuter
