Thank you Dom!

By the way, what do you mean by HR in: If you can manage HR to meet this
goal then that would be great!

Asunto: Info on Webinar & Update of Milesones! (Implementor? Please read!)

Dear Members, 

This email contains an overview of the webinar (via GoToMeeting) being held
on 4th December from 14.00 UTC - 16.00 UTC. All implementors are requested
to attend, if this causes you a problem let me know and I will arrange for
you to get a video copy of the session. I'd also ask you to forward this
mail to any developers, within your organisation, who will be working on the
test suite. The purpose of the webinar is as follows:

Provide an overview of input and output files. (Dom) Provide a narrative on
how the testing process works. (Dom) Run through commitments to testing data
categories. (Dom) Run through key dates (Dom) 

Work through one full example in Java of the Ruby data category showing
(Leroy):
	. Parsing of input file.
	. Processing input files and applying rules. 
	. Outputting conformant code. 
	. Diff'ing of implementation output against gold standard. 
	. Example code will be provided. 
	
Run through the structured approach we are taking to bug fixing.
(Dom/Leroy). 

Q&A session. (All) 

The approach we are taking to example code is showing you exactly how to
parse, process and output xml for the Ruby data category, we can show full
code for this data category as it will only be made conformant in internal
implementations, i.e. non of you have this as a data category which you need
to test. This gives you an idea as to how to apply the test process to other
data categories. Parsing and outputting can be standard and used across all
data categories across all implementations but processing and application of
rules must be developed in house. 

-------------------------------------------------

KEY DATES:

M1:     15th November 2012 - (Test files reviewed) - Ongoing process. 
M1.5:  4th December 2012 - Webinar on Test Suite conformance / usage. 
M2:     17th December 2012 - Implementors have run at least one global and
one local test file, for each of their data categories. One XML and one HTML
as well.
M3:     31st January 2013 - Test files completely run.
M4:     8th March 2013 - Data category used in application, spreadsheet
updated with conformant / non-conformant implementations.
M5:    15th March 2013 - MLW-LT review - Presentation on test process and
80% of data categories shown to be conformant. 

Please note, I have updated the spreadsheet (http://bit.ly/RWh2e0) with
these new key dates. M5 is the key, I will be pushing towards M5 over the
next few months allowing us to tweak the remaining 20%, more difficult data
cats and publicising the test suite over the remaining months. If you can
manage HR to meet this goal then that would be great! Apologies for the long
mail, I try to write fewer mails but with more content :)

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Dom
