Greetings, The "Common HTTP Implementation Problems" (CHIPs) Note [1] is now one-month old, and given the comments we received on it (mostly editorial), we are likely to publish a new version in a few months, so thanks a lot to people who submitted comments, through this channel or others. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/chips/ I would like to start encouraging another kind of submission, "techniques". You may have noticed that the CHIPs "Techniques" page at [2] is currently just a placeholder. We would now like, with your help, to make this page live. In order to do this, we are going to make several call for submissions. This is the first one, aimed at implementors (related to checkpoints marked [SS] or [SI] in the document). Others (for users of these servers, Frameworks, languages) will follow. [2] http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/12/chips-techniques * Call for Submissions. Round One : Implementors * Seen with implementors' eye, the Guidelines developed in "Common HTTP Implementation Problems" are, basically, of two kinds what HTTP Implementations (Servers, Proxies, but also Server-Side Frameworks or Languages, etc.) should *do*, and what they should *allow* their users to do. A technique Submission would thus go through all applicable checkpoints, and would ideally answer these questions: - If the checkpoint is about what the product should do, does your product actually do it? - if "yes", can you describe quickly how? - if "no", can you explain why? Is it a choice? - If the checkpoint is about what the product should allow, does your product actually do so? - if "yes", can you give (an) example(s) of how to do it, pointers to some documentation, code samples? - if "no", can you explain why? Is it a choice? * Modus Operandum * You may publish your submission by either: - Publishing it somewhere on the Web, and announce it to the publicly archived list www-qa@w3.org - Send the submission directly to the publicly archived list www-qa@w3.org A list of submissions will be maintained at [2]. [2] http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/12/chips-techniques Feel free to contact me directly (<mailto:ot@w3.org>) to sort out any detail or answer questions about this submission process. Thank you. olivier. -- Olivier Thereaux - W3C - QA : http://www.w3.org/QA/ http://www.w3.org/People/olivier | http://yoda.zoy.org
