Re: Technology options

I was actually quite surprised that there was so much divergence in what 
people thought that the working group was supposed to deliver.  The 
Face-to-Face helped to clarify some of the differences, but I'm still not 
completely sure about some of the use cases that people think are supposed to 
be covered.

That said, I think that there is soon supposed to be a wiki page containing 
the stories that were discussed at the Face-to-Face.  My belief is that some 
examples of how the various technologies handle these stories would be useful, 
and I plan on adding this information when this part of the wiki is set up.

In any case, any working group member is free to add just about anything to 
the wiki.  If you feel that this kind of information is useful now, feel free 
to start adding it for the technologies that you feel should be considered. 
If other working group members think that this is useful to do, then they are 
likely to add their own information in.
