Rob, Thanks for sending this: At 02:28 PM 12/19/01 -0800, Rob Lanphier wrote: >[...] >If you'd like to look at an example of a project actively using >SourceForge for specification writing, look at the RTSP spec: > >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=377744&group_id=23194&func=browse > >We've just started using it pretty heavily, and it's been very nice. Questions/comments: 1. can only "Project Admins" initiate a new issue? 2. but it looks like apparently any "member" can "Add a Comment" 3. are there any export or serialized (external) formats? #2 is a nice feature (like Bugzilla) that the XML/XSLT system (of DOM and Protocols) wouldn't share -- overall content and integrity of the system is controlled by Project Admins, but they don't have to edit/enter all comments and argumentation. It could be sort of simulated in the XML/XSLT system, by putting the XML database in CVS and giving all members write access. But without some work and development, it looks difficult to restrict the general access to just the comment/description fields. Does anyone know whether or how Protocols WG and DOM WG have addressed that concern? >However, as I brought up at the face-to-face, the W3C staff is >beta-testing something very similar to this.

I looked back at the minutes, but it didn't have much detail. Do we know who is doing this investigation, how active it is, and what is its status?
