Rational intends on implementing most of the DeltaV options, except for working resources and variants. We will probably implement those options as well if there is sufficient client demand for them. Cheers, Geoff From: "Eric Sedlar" <eric.sedlar@oracle.com> Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 15:03:31 -0800 Oracle plans on implementing most of the DeltaV options, with the notable exception of Variants. In addition to end-user clients, we may also be using DeltaV internally to communicate between middle tier and data servers. --Eric -----Original Message----- From: ietf-dav-versioning-request@w3.org [mailto:ietf-dav-versioning-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Lisa Dusseault Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 11:50 AM To: Jim Amsden; ietf-dav-versioning@w3.org Subject: RE: Versioning TeleConf Agenda, 2/2/00 (Friday) 12-1pm EST > We have struggled with how to handle core vs. advanced > vs. options since the beginning of Delta-V.

Xythos is planning to implement core and only core, unless and until some interoperable DAV clients also implement some of the more generally useful extensions such as checkin/checkout, baselines, variants or labels, or until a customer requires such options. "Expressed interest" is a vague statement, you could say that Xythos has expressed interest in various extensions, however as I've stated we may not implement any extensions anytime soon. Any other document management vendors care to discuss what options they plan to implement? Lisa
