Many of these are actually being planned for later this summer, not indeed by Jean-Gui and Damien, but: - I'm aware of some work in the near future on NVDL implementations - Peter (from SUN, about whom I think I talked a while ago) has been getting up to speed on the CSS validation code, and the improvement you suggest could be on his list. In other words, while I agree that the projects you list are useful and interesting, it does not, I hope, make the one we are discussing now less usefull or interesting. Notably, as you aptly put it later in your mail, you see some parts of the project as very useful. > I indeed don't see how you could write a slick and maintainable frame- > work without a common data model, and consequently still think this is > what should be developed first.

Damien and Jean-Guilhem are currently learning about technologies that will help them define and document the observation data model, the interface/response description, etc, and started drafting such documents. regards, -- olivier
