Just so the other editors know, with Gudge's help I went through the cycle of making a modest change (issue 357). I might find a little time this weekend, but mostly will be available to help part time Mon and Tues. So, I'll check in then. If anyone wants help over the weekend, try the home phone 1-781-860-0689 (9AM - 9PM East Coast.) Thanks to all for the help & patience. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Martin Gudgin" <mgudgin@microsoft.com> 08/23/2002 07:44 PM To: <noah_mendelsohn@us.ibm.com>, "W3C Public Archive" <www-archive@w3.org>, "Jean-Jacques Moreau" <moreau@crf.canon.fr>, "Marc Hadley" <marc.hadley@sun.com>, "Nilo Mitra" <EUSNILM@am1.ericsson.se>, "Henrik Frystyk Nielsen" <henrikn@microsoft.com> cc: Subject: RE: Noah Got CVS 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
