RE: [all] Publication postponed - new schedule (Re: [all] call for consensus: publication of requirements as first public working draft)

This version looks good to me, areas of additional thinking seem to be called out clearly.

Thanks,

Jan

Hi all again,

at

you can see how the published draft will look like. This is auto-generated from the wiki via the W3C XSLT servlet and works only if the wiki content is valid. So if you (editing people) encounter problems, check validation of the wiki content via
http://tinyurl.com/its2req-validation

At Dave and all: after your edits on Thursday night, I will go through the doc again and prepare it finally for publication, with the time schedule indicated below.

Best,

Felix

Hi all,

thank you for your good feedback. I decided to postpone the publication. I should have explained the W3C process here more clearly: if a WG is proposing more than editorial edits (like deleting data categories from the draft) after a call for consensus, we cannot publish - the W3C mgmt won't allow this.

So here is the new plan: today I will
- add Moritz' figure

- leaving undecided data cats in and say in the draft: all data categories are only proposals and not stable. Important is to get feedback along the lines of http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Requirements#Feedback.

- move the end-to-end use cases, as Dave said (thanks for the reminder)

- make my edits, mentioned in the previous mail in this thread

- add a "status of the document section" (this is necessary for publication)



After Dave's Thursday night edits, I will make the HTML conversion and send another call for consensus on Friday morning, if there is no request for changes (except spelling etc.) by Tuesday, I will request publication which should be done around Thursday - Friday - so at least we have a small overlap with LREC :)
Best,

Felix

All,

this is call for consensus for publishing the requirements document
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Requirements
as a first public working draft. For those of you who are new to the W3C process: we need a decision by the working group to publish the draft under the "TR" directory
http://www.w3.org/TR/

this evening (European time) I will do the following:
- Implement issue-10 in the draft
https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/10
- generalize all comments like "ARLE: ..." to "working group comment: ..."
- add a "status of the document" section at the top of the document
- convert the document to HTML and send the so-called "transition request".

Please reply to this call for consensus if you have any concerns about the publication. Of course the document still has issues. Note that the publication will be a *first* public working draft, so we will have plenty of opportunities to change things. Note also that publishing asap is helpful for getting wider feedback, e.g. next week at the LREC conference which some of us will attend. So if there are no very severe issues, I encourage you to agree with the publication.

Please give any feedback in this thread by tonight 11 p.m. CEST.

Thanks,

Felix
