Summary: should we go ahead and publish bp as it stands today? vote asap.
Following the emails of yesterday [1] [2], there's been some
disagreement about whether it might still be possible to publish Best
Practices. The chairs have agreed to hold an email vote this week;
deadline is the end of the usual meeting time (about 26 hours from when
I'm sending this). If you have a problem with this deadline, please
say so, but we don't have a lot of options. We wont physically be able
to publish until January, so if you have a procedural complain in the
next two weeks, there will be time to consider it.
There will be an informal meeting, at the usual time tomorrow, during
which people can discuss BP if they want, but the email votes will be
what counts.
The document under consideration is here (frozen):
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/4dbafa673d70/bp/index.html
and the diff from Friday's version is here:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/bp/diff-1213-1218.html
Please respond via email with a vote (+1 if you support, 0 abstain, -1
formal objection, in between to show nuance if you want) on the proposal
below. If you would vote higher with some small edit, please provide
the edit and we'll try to see if there's email consensus for it. Feel
free to make other statements, but please keep it brief. If anyone
votes -1 or if only a few people vote +1, the document will be left
unpublished (but still in its current location on the web).
*PROPOSED: Publish*
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/4dbafa673d70/bp/index.html, with
minimal edits necessary to make it pubrules compliant and fix simple
typos. We believe that the document in its current form expresses
Best Practices for publishing Government Linked Data. We understand
it might be updated by another group in the future or might remain
as-is.
Thank you for your prompt response.
