However, the files comprising the draft are for some reason not publically accessible [I can't read them either!] The rest of this is not minutes correction, just FYI > DanC said (via IRC): frank, you can chacl stuff that you put there.

For the record, I'll repeat (sort of) what I said on the telecon: my current belief is that the primer should try to introduce all the major documents produced by the WG, at least to the extent of explaining why they're there. In the case of the model theory, I don't see the primer giving a tutorial on the RDF model theory, but I think the primer should briefly describe why there is one (and give the reader some feel for whether it's important for s/he to fully understand the document, or whether s/he can give it a miss). In the case of data typing, the amount of introduction needed in the primer will depend on how much of a reader-friendly introduction is provided in the data typing specification itself. I don't have a problem with the primer being very simple and sparse, as long as our other documents provide reader-friendly introductions to their respective topics, or we contemplate still-other documents to provide that material. However, at the moment the primer seems to me to be the default "home" for that sort of material. Another "division of labor" might be OK too, provided all the subjects get covered. > FrankM is mainly seeking feedback (volunteers) But obviously not until the files are accessible! > > ACTION DanBri to make everything in primer directory public DanBri and Eric have both made attempts.
