Here is the current status of the WebDAV Working Group. DOCUMENTS: Requirements: "Requirements for Distributed Authoring and Versioning on the World Wide Web" <draft-ietf-webdav-requirements-00.txt> Judith Slein, Fabio Vitali, Jim Whitehead, David Durand Editor: Judith Slein Latest draft: May 30, 1997 Judith's recent posts have summmarized recent developments on this document. The last open requirements issues were discussed at the Orem meeting, and are in the process of being resolved by the working group. Once these issues are resolved, a new revision of the requirements document will be issued, and this document will begin a working group last call for comments period. This comments period is scheduled to last until August 20. Depending on comments received during the last call period a new draft may be released. On September 5 (earlier if no new requirements draft needs to be issued), I will call for consensus on the requirements document. If rough consensus is achieved, I will submit this document to the IESG for issuance as an Informational RFC. The current plan is to keep the access control requirements and the requirements in draft-ietf-webdav-requirements as separate documents. Protocol: "Extensions for Distributed Authoring and Versioning on the World Wide Web" <draft-ietf-webdav-protocol-00.txt> Yaron Goland, Jim Whitehead, Asad Faizi, Steve Carter, Del Jensen Editor: Del Jensen Latest draft: July 13, 1997 This draft collects the locking, collections/namespace, and properties drafts together, and represents the work of the WebDAV Design Team. A draft on versioning is being prepared by Jim Whitehead. Based on the feedback received at the Orem meeting, I feel that while this document still needs significant work, the overall design is relatively stable, and at present it appears that no further Design Team meetings will be needed. Future modifications to the draft document will be submitted and discussed on the mailing list. Currently, there is a goal of developing a new draft before the Munich I-D submission deadline on July 30. Scenarios: "HTTP-based Distributed Content Editing Scenarios" <draft-ietf-webdav-scenarios-00.txt> Editor: Ora Lassila Latest draft: May 31, 1997 This document gathers together scenarios of use of Web distributed authoring and versioning technology. This document needs to be refined so that the scenarios in the document cover all of the WebDAV requirements. I am still waiting to receive a schedule from Ora on when this document will be updated. Access Control Requirements "Proposed Requirements for Access Control within Distributed Authoring and Versioning Environments on the WWW" Not yet submitted as Internet-Draft Editor: Jon Radoff This document was discussed at the Orem meeting, and received significant feedback. It now needs to be revised based on this feedback, and submitted as an Internet Draft. MEETINGS Orem, Utah Working Group Meeting July 14-15, 1997 Novell, Orem, Utah A working group meeting was held last week at the campus of Novell, in Orem, Utah.
