Re: Note structure (Was: Design principles to Note)

Thanks Tyler. The rework looks great. 

There's only one thing potentially missing in the rearrangement. While 
much of "Attacks" was redundant with "Use Cases", we don't have enough on 
attacks that overwrite or otherwise disable security context information 
in existing user agents. We you going to flesh that out in 
NoteProblemsWithCurrentUserInterface? If not, I'll call for a volunteer on 
that. 

Maritza and I definately own getting the Verification section going. If no 
one else wants to volunteer for them, I'll also take a crack at Design 
Principles and Assumptions. But I'm happy to have someone volunteer for 
those as well. I can tell already that I have the propensity to under 
estimate the time it takes to properly chair, and over volunteer for other 
work. So I just want to make sure I don't hold up the full draft of the 
Note. 

As you say, the pieces absolutely must be there by January 15th. So I'd 
like to ask everyone to aim for January 11, to give the team some time to 
react and integrate feedback on any "hot" issues before the full draft of 
the Note.

Note structure (Was: Design principles to Note)






Hi all,
 
I've reconfigured the NoteIndex a bit to fit the content people have 
agreed to provide and to cover the areas we've been talking about. See:
 
http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/NoteIndex
 
The third level headings in that index won't appear in the actual note, 
they're just there to keep track of why I reordered things the way I did.
 
The third major section "What the solution should look like" is to contain 
the Design Principles / Assumptions / Verification material that Mez 
refers to in the email below. Mez, are you and Maritza going to draft 
those sections of the Note? If so, I think we've got volunteers for most 
everything else.
 
There are some outstanding Action items for text in the NoteGoals, 
NoteOutOfScope and NoteUseCases sections. After those are in, I'll mop up.
 
We've got volunteers for the NoteUserAgents and 
NoteSecurityContextAvailable sections. I'ld like to work on the 
NoteProblemsWithCurrentUserInterface section, but Phil should really add 
some content there as well. He did after all write a book on the subject.
 
Everyone adding content should fill out the NoteReferences and 
NoteAcknowledgments as they steal (err, author) their sections.
 
Hopefully the above is a feasible amount of work to get done by January 
15th. If so, I'll convert it into the W3C's XML format for the 22nd, which 
will give us all a week to ponder it before our f2f on the 30th, 31st.
 
I love it when a plan comes together...
 
Tyler

Subject: Design principles to Note


I propose we include Design Principles we will use to inform and support 
our recommendations in the Note. It was at one time what I meant by the 
References section, but it needs to be separate from a pure list of 
references. Either as part of a larger "verification section" 
(generalizing our User Testing Veriffication section) or as part of the 
Assumptions section, or a new section. Tyler (or anyone), suggestions for 
structuring this. 

I've put in bold items in our SharedBookmarks section that form the basis 
for those Design Principles (which Martiza and I started on as ACTION-20 
and ACTION-21, and are now in the wiki): 
http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/SharedBookmarks

I encourage everyone to do two things:

1) If you have other references for our SharedBookmarks, add them, always 
including some annotation on why they're (potentially) pertinent to our 
work. 

2) Take a look at the proposed Design Principles I've put in bold. I don't 
propose that we slavishly follow them, I don't propose that we will not 
have others, but I do propose them (and any modifications) as a documented 
basis in the Note for one of the sets of assumptions we'll use (see last 
bullet item in:)
