Annoucing UC&R editors

Rif WG,

We are pleased to announce that Allen Ginsberg and David Hirtle have 
agreed to serve as editors for the Use Cases and Requirements note.  They 
have already begun their job by preparing the new Use Cases template for 
the Wiki, and will be collecting and synthesizing the note from the Wiki 
submissions.

At the f2f there was some discussion about whether use case submitters 
shoudl be required to use a prescribed template.  While the reasons 
against choosing this course were legitimate, in the end we decided to 
require it, as the rapid turn-around time for the UC&R note clearly 
suggests the work shoudl be distributed instead of centralized.

So, if you already have use cases (many were already emailed to the 
group), please do the best job you can "shoe-horning" it into the wiki 
template.  In particular, the wiki template has several sections 
specifically designed to get you, the submitter, to think about how the 
use case impacts the work on RIF, e.g. what existing rule systems support 
the use case?  how does intererability factor into your use case? etc.
