executive summary: 1 - put proposed features on the wiki _this week_ 2 - template for new features is at http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Feature_example 3 - feel free to solicit features from people outside the WG full story: On today's teleconference, we agreed to frame our survey of potential deliverables in terms of "features" (which can be motivated by use cases) rather than in terms of "use cases" (which could cover one or more features). We ran out of time at the end of the teleconference, but the bottom line is that we are setting a deadline of _next week, March 10_ for SPARQL WG members to post potential features onto the wiki. That's a quick turnaround time, but we need to get started discussing features and narrowing down our possibilities as soon as possible. I will be announcing this shortly in a few public fora to encourage community members to suggest features that are important to them. Please feel free to similarly solicit feedback from outside the working group. Here's an updated version of Axel's instructions for creating new feature suggestions: 1) Check that the feature has not already been covered. http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Category:Features lists all of the features. 2a) If the feature already has a page, feel free to add to the page with new examples or implementation information. 2b) If the feature does not have a page, create a new one as follows: 3) Copy the contents of http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Feature_example 4) For feature XYZ, got to URL http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Feature:XYZ 5) Paste the copied template in 6) Fill in the details, including a) summary & description - what capability does the feature add? b) example of what the feature might look like (i.e. syntax) c) info on existing implementations d) info on existing specification/documentation materials e) any issues with backwards compatibility f) links to any related postponed issues from DAWG g) links to any related features h) potential people/organizations that would champion/advocate for the feature i) short use cases that motivate addition of this feature to SPARQL j) any other reference material Of course, you need not fill in all of this, but the more fleshed out a feature is, the easier it will be for the WG to evaluate it and decide on its merits. 7) Save the page. The feature is automatically added to the "Features" category and immediately shows up at http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Category:Features Feel free to email the list or me with any questions / comments.
