Re: Musings on PWP Offline/Online Modes

It's clear from this thread that the Locators TF's work is strongly dependent on several other aspects of PWP, in particular on packaging and offline/online approaches, and consequently on the PWP manifest, which is likely to be a key part of solving these issues.

I now see that Dave just started a thread on the manifest. Great!
Are there wiki pages or other info that would summarises the current views and decisions on the offline/online mode and packaging stories? or is everything described in the PWP editors draft?.

Sorry if I missed some bits. I'm a recent member of the IG, although I've been watching from the peanut gallery for quite some time :)

Romain.

We may not define it in a normative way in the sense of some formal language or terminology, but we have to understand what can, cannot, should, or should not be done with a PWP. And it is certainly important to know whether the realization of such a PWP processor is possible with today's technologies, what is PWP specific and what can be reused off the shelf, etc.

Such technologies may not be a part of the documents we produce, but saying "we don't care about it here" I think sends the wrong message.
