Dear All, I have just uploaded the Wiki version of our draft report, so now everyone in the group can contribute with its edition. Issues: 1) HTML -> Wiki Because of their quite distinct syntax, transforming the HTML Draft into a wiki was a manual process that demanded a lot of time. Even taking for granted that I was learning wiki syntax while editing the document, which certainly increased the time toll, the process was painfully slow. Should we had to do it on a frequent basis then we would definitely have to write a script for it. 2) Wiki -> HTML In our last telecon, I was assigned with an action item for trying the other way around (translate wiki to HTML), but unfortunately I still did not have the time and opportunity to go through the scripts suggested by Giorgos. Nonetheless, I have the feeling that this is not something we want to do on a frequent basis. In other words, I still believe we must define a date to freeze the edition so the editing team can work on translating the wiki to a final HTML report. We will discuss this in the next telecon, but I suggest in advance that we set such date to at least three weeks before the XG's end. 3) Figures I dug into moinmoin's documentation and figured out how to display images directly on the wiki. Basically, you have to attach a graphic file (say: UncertaintyTipe.png) and then simply refer to it this way: attachment:UncertaintyType.png without brackets or any other syntactical element. You can see the result in section 3 of the wiki, which contains the original figures from Mitch's Uncertainty Ontology displayed. 4) Titles When you want to enter a level 5 title, you have to insert the text between 5 "equal to" signs ("====="). This worked fine for all sections with the exception of Appendix A. I was not able to figure out why. Help on this is greatly appreciated. 5) Subscription So far, only myself and Peter are subscribed to the page, which means only the two of us will receive an email notification when the page is edited. I strongly recommend everyone to subscribe to this page. 6) Anne's initial draft Anne was the first to write a draft report in wiki format, so I just used her page to insert the translated draft. In order to reference to her initial draft, I left it in the bottom part of the page. 7) Schedule We are getting closer to the end of our XG assignment and there is a lot to be done with respect to documentation. We have roughly three months to finish our final report, which I believe is a challenging task given the complexity of the subject. Thus, I'd like to ask for your full, proactive participation in editing the wiki. There are names of the editing team as coordinators in some sections, with their respective deadlines for finishing that section. However, this is just an internal assignment within the editing team to make sure we have a minimal configuration management, and should not restrain anyone from actively participating with the edition of all sections. All the best, Paulo
