Given that we as a group are committed to providing the overview capabilities in the charter and some believe strongly that it should not be merged into the primer (and also believe that it does not belong on a home page), how do we make forward progress on this? i thought elisa brought some fresh perspective to the topic with her homework on reviewing other existing documents and she had some suggestions for an outline. i also thought it would make sense to take her up on her offer to think more about outline issues as a result of her work. do others agree/disagree at least with the offer for more thoughts on the outline? > >> (2) is there a summary anywhere of the concerns (i.e., regarding the >> comment that the primer could replace the guide modulo a few concerns)? > > From memory and minutes: > * Would like it to be constructor comprehensive (Peter said close > anyways) > > * Would like it to have something to play with a la wine agent (for > further discussion) > > But we left it deliberately vague as we expect things to advance and > continue comment over time. one other thing that was mentioned, was that the straw poll was not concerning moving forward with the primer as a potential replacement for the overview. if we had taken a straw poll on that, not surprisingly, i would have voted -1 and from the comments on the call, i believe others would have voted that way as well. elisa also mentioned in her presentation the value of the example and while i and some like the wine example, we realize it has some issues. she proposed some other topics as options. we did not discuss this point further but i think we should so that we have some idea of what the example is that we are expecting to have to play with since assuming it is new content, it is worth spending some time soon thinking about it so we have enough time to get a decent agent available to play with. i will see elisa on friday of next week and if there was interest in the 2 topics she mentioned (olive oil and/or cheese), i would be happy to explore those thoughts further with her. > > -Alan > > >> >> Just checking, and thanks! >> >> Elisa >> >> >> Peter F.
