Noah, I know we covered a lot of this on IRC and over the phone but here it is for the record anyway.

I note the dirs are named by date? All the files are in WWW/2000/xp/Group/2/06/LC They will NOT move when September comes around ( if you ask me they should not have moved when we went to LC but that's another story ;-) ) > > * Quick rules for updating the files: do I change status > info or titles in docs for example, or does CVS do it all? CVS deals with last modified dates. The docs you will be editing are soap12-part1.xml, soap12-part2.xml and edtodo.html in the above directory. These are already marked as editor's copies ( although they still have the LC boilerplate ) > For deletions, do I leave the text and mark chg="del" or do I > really delete it, etc. Anything you 'remove' should be marked with a diff='del' attribute. This attribute only works on certain elements so you may need to play around to get the right effect. The main element I've put the diff attribute on is <p> > > * Do I need to update the editors to do lists when making > changes? Where does it live. Yes please. It lives at WWW/2000/xp/Group/2/06/LC/edtodo.html Commit your edits using cvs commit -m "Log message goes here" filename Don't forget to do a cvs update before you do any edits just in case anyone else has changed the docs ( CVS will deal with it using merging if you forget to do this, but it keeps merges to a minimum if you remember to update before all editing sessions ) > > You get the idea.

Again, sorry for all the > delays in getting "into harness". Don't worry about it, being sick is a perfectly good reason for not being available to edit, I'm just glad you are feeling better. If you have any more questions feel free to call. My number is +44 7776 231 336. I'm flying to Redmond on Sunday and will be there until Friday evening Pacific. Gudge
