Hi Adam,
I will try one more time.
If you do not communicate with us in a straightforward manner ("like human beings," as Marcos says), we will simply not be able to understand what you are saying. Multiple paragraphs to answer a simple question; a list of links that honestly looks like you are trying to pull some SEO spam trick; telling us our own names---these are not things that we can helpfully respond to.
Let us repeat Marcos's questions. If you would like anyone to respond to you, please respond to each of them in turn, in one sentence each:
> Like, it seems you are doing all this fancy stuff with XML, RDF, etc. It all sounds like it's going well for you. Where are you getting stuck? Are you getting stuck?
> What do you need exactly?
> Where is stuff breaking for you?
> What browser are you using?
Once we have a dialog established, with your short one-sentence answers, we can then dig into the relevant topics in more detail (although hopefully still with more brevity than your previous responses and link-collections).
I hope you can understand that if you cannot have a conversation with us in a normal fashion, you will get no responses, just as happened to your [webcomponents] and [Editing] emails. Claiming that you do not like how we talk is not productive, no matter how many social sciences you cite as your reasons. Remember that this is our forum and you seem to be approaching us for ... something, although it is not clear what. If you want that something from us, you need to give us something to go on. This mailing list is not the place for "letters," mind you: it is the place for conversations. The one-sentence requirement above is in place because this conversation has gotten off to such a rocky start, and we need to get it going again by making sure it stays a conversation instead of a screed.
I hope you can take this feedback in the spirit it is given.

Subject: Re: Digital Textbooks and Locally-stored Student and Educational Data
Daniel Appelquist,
Thank you. My response indicating browser interprocess communication across platforms as necessary for multivendor education technology workflows (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2014Aug/0011.html) did, in my opinion, address the gist of Marcus’ concerns, “what is missing from the Web platform” in its last four paragraphs; I opted not to respond to his specific letter, however, due to topics of tone and the imperative metadiscourse.
Recapitulating, I did, at least in part, answer Marcos’ request for information in the subsequent letter (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2014Aug/0011.html) but did not respond to his specific letter for reasons pertaining to rhetoric, speech act theory, discourse theory, communication science and other social sciences. I hope that I have clarified, in that regard. Furthermore, the accusations of the topics being irrelevant to the Web, to Web architecture, that my letters on the topics of Digital Textbooks and Locally-stored Student and Educational Data have been flooding or spamming this mailing list are offensive to me.
I will review the structure of the Technical Architecture Group; the website (http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/) indicates: Tim Berners-Lee, Daniel Appelquist, Domenic Denicola, David Herman, Yehuda Katz, Sergey Konstantinov, Yves Lafon, Peter Linss, Jeni Tennison and one open seat.
A specific architectural topic, which I hope is interesting to the group, is multiplatform interprocess communication, facilitating multivendor education technology solutions; there are features for education technology, applications interoperating with digital textbooks in education workflow scenarios, such that the browser as desktop application and interprocess communication across platforms is an architectural and logistic concern. I would like to get towards the technical topics and to discover more technical topics which enhance education technology and digital textbooks.
I agree that discussing the venue to discuss the topics is productive to addressing numerous concerns and enhancing technology stacks in numerous ways. There could be multiple appropriate mailing list venues to get traction on these important topics, including at the W3C; it could be that one or more specific W3C groups are appropriate to discuss the topics and discussion towards specific architectural concerns.
Kind regards,
Adam Sobieski

Dear Adam,
After reviewing your posts and Marcos's reply I am forced to agree with Domenic: you really need to address Marcos's questions if you wish to engage in any kind of discussion here. If you're interested in addressing specific issues of web architecture that relate to your problem statements then please elucidate us as to what those might be. I do not think anyone here is being disrespectful.
More constructively: the TAG may not be the right community to air these issues. Are you aware of the web publishing interest group? http://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/Main_Page This is an activity that may be more appropriate to the discussion you are trying to start. And if there are specific architectural concerns that emerge from those discussions we will be happy to take them up at that time.
Daniel Appelquist

Domenic,
I was dissatisfied with the perceived level of respect from Marcos, his interpersonal tone, his informality, his interpersonal rhetorical stances, his attempts to utilize directive metadiscourse with me, that he attempted to do so in front of others, and thus it seemed that the best etiquette was not to address him.
I am also disappointed with both a lack of respect and of professionalism from you. It seems to be that both he and you would rather disrupt the productive topics broached, that both he and you are unwilling or unable to discuss the scientific, technological and highly relevant topics substantively.
It is my preference to resolve the dispute that both he and you apologize to me in front of the W3C Technical Architecture Group at this time.
Kind regards,
Adam

Hi Adam,
We're going to need you to address Marcos's earlier points before we can respond to any of your messages.
If you're not interested in a dialog, please stop spamming the list.

Subject: Re: Digital Textbooks and Locally-stored Student and Educational Data
W3C Technical Architecture Group,
A related topic is educational data and cloud storage, educational data such as notes. A browser topic, from a larger number of topics integrating browser software into platform-independent educational workflow scenarios, is interoperability with notes software. Interoperability between digital textbooks and notes software pertains to numerous topics including scholarly and scientific communication, referencing and citing content from documents in browsers, including to specific chapters, pages, paragraphs, sentences or selected hypertext.
A concern about notes software is cloud storage:
http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/01/08/15cloud_ep.h33.html http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/marketplacek12/2013/11/lawsuit_filed_in_new_york_to_halt_inbloom_program.html http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/DigitalEducation/2014/07/federal_data-privacy_guideline.html
It is important to discuss these topics at the W3C, that we can discuss these topics comfortably at the W3C, with digital textbook standards discussions ongoing at the W3C. Web scientists and technologists are cognizant of unfolding discussions elsewhere, points of view, various sides of discussion topics and cases and laws with regard to student data privacy. Scientists at the W3C include proponents of student data privacy; protecting student data privacy is a part of the discussions pertinent to unfolding digital textbook standards.
Though Web-based applications are popular at the W3C, browser interoperability with multivendor desktop applications facilitates educational workflow scenarios with local storage and computation. Complexities to browser interoperability, interprocess communication, with desktop applications include that each browser software is designed for and compiled for numerous platforms and that each platform has different component object and interprocess architectures. Interprocess communication is platform-specific, e.g. iOS, Android and Windows.
The desired features for digital textbooks, advancing digital textbook features, pertain to interprocess communication with multivendor desktop applications which combine into educational workflow scenarios. The features are visible to digital textbook teams as specified markup, scripting, API. The features are implemented by browser teams and the topical interprocess communication features vary per platform. There are logistical complexities and coordinative challenges to getting the digital textbooks technologies towards having the large set of features to where digital textbooks are fluidly interoperable with multivendor applications, in educational workflows. With the web browsers as the digital textbook rendering software, numerous such features can enhanced web browsing user experiences as well.
Summarily, interprocess communication between browsers and multivendor desktop applications on each major platform, applications providing local storage and computation, is topical to providing students with data privacy while facilitating and enhancing the features of educational workflow scenarios.
Discussion topics include how to include digital textbooks, standard formats rendered in browsers, and their existing and emerging new features in multivendor, multi-application, educational workflows across platforms.
Kind regards,
Adam Sobieski
