I agree. Admittedly, it's easy for me to think that way
since I own only a single document.

I
think the second is preferable. I believe that the effort to actually
move the files isn’t too onerous, once the “map” is
constructed. I think that the long term impact of the first is
undesirable.

SDD TC,
I have not
forgotten about this item -- we did agree to reorganize our document library (I
received a few comments with suggestions for minor tweaks to the initial
proposal, all of which made sense). So I have a good handle on what needs to be
done.
However, the
reason that this has not been implemented yet is because I discovered some
obstacles in doing so; these obstacles have to do with the way the OASIS Kavi
tools work. In particular, only the owner of a document can "manage"
that document, and to move a document from one folder to another, one must
"manage" the document. Hence, I cannot just move all the documents
around myself (neither can anyone else).
I did do some experimentation.
One method that would seem to work is to use the "replace" function
for documents "owned" by others -- the tools do allow this. So, for
example, I could replace those documents that need to be moved, but are
"owned" by others, with an identical copy of what's already there
(analogous to "checking out" the document and then "checking
in" the exact same document). Doing that makes the person who did the
replacement the new "owner", who can then "manage" the
document and move it to a new folder. A side effect of doing this, though, is
that all the replaced documents then show up as being "owned" by that
person, rather than by the person who really generated and "owns" the
document (so, if I used this method, you'd see a big long string of documents
with my name beside them).
Another way to
accomplish the document library reorganization would be to compile the complete
list of all documents that need to be moved, and then assign the task of moving
them to their respective owners. Each of us would get a list of "our"
documents that need to be moved, and then each of us would need to go in and
move "our" documents accordingly. This would keep the document owner
as is but would require that everyone do their part before the complete
reorganization is done.
I don't mind
doing the former, although I'm not sure the side effect noted is desirable; and
I'm happy to generate the list for the latter, if everyone wants to do their
share.
I'm looking for
the TC's preference so that we can accomplish the document library
reorganization that we approved and we all agreed was quite desirable.
Please sound
off with your thoughts/preferences.
Thanks.
Regards,
Brent

Groups - Document Library Organization Proposal (OASIS SDD TC - Document
Library Proposal.ppt) uploaded
It has been pointed out that our document
library might be better
organized. This is a proposal to do so, using the existing folder
structure. Please review and comment via e-mail; we can discuss briefly at
this week's TC call, but if this is an agreeable direction, I'd like to
implement it rather quickly (before the F2F).
-- Mr Brent Miller
The document named Document Library Organization Proposal (OASIS SDD TC -
Document Library Proposal.ppt) has been submitted by Mr Brent Miller to the
