Last time I checked, there were employees of the following DMA member companies on the distribution of this list (in no particular order): Xerox PARC, Xerox XSoft, Filenet, Alpharel, Saros, Documentum, Novell.

I would hope that DMA would >participate rather than be "amused" by the efforts of the working group. I'd like to echo Steve's hope that the wisdom acquired through DMA efforts to date would make it's way into the distributed authoring and versioning specification. I have always received valuable insight into the distributed authoring and versioning issue space from my past interactions with DMA members, and I have no doubt this will continue in the future. I have also been very glad for the participation of those members of this working group who have a document management background, as I feel they have made significant contributions towards all products of this working group to date. I also appreciate it when people indicate an issue is a "rathole," since this is not always evident at the time. As a general rule, I would like this group to benefit from existing work, reinventing as little as possible. - Jim
