Re: [uiml] Schedule of items to be completed before voting on the Committee Specification
Hi all,

 

some items to be considered:

 

- check if all used examples are consistent with 
the specification

- minor point: check that examples use english 
names and are not potentially offensive

  (Not everyone knows that "Sex Pistols" is a 
punk band ;-)

- check all elements if they require some of the 
new elements as children (e.g. I found out that 

  <when-true>, <when-false> and 
<by-default> should have <variable> as child)

- Construct 4.0 DTD from the fragments of the 
spec

- Even better, construct schema (The 
<alias>-Element is a nice example where the DTD is not

  sufficient)

- Create Metamodel from schema/DTD as Jean did with 
the 3.1-Version

- Add the newly introduced Elements to section 
3

- Check if some other terms have to be defined in 
section 1.4 such as "Layout"

- Provide (Informative) References for other specs 
and languages e.g. CTT etc.

 

I have found several small points for 
improvement/corrections in the document. How should we proceed?

Should all the TC-members edit with "track changes" 
on in parallel and James tries to update the input 

he gets or should we 
pass the document as a token sequentially?   

 

Best regards,

Robbie.

Subject: [uiml] Schedule of items to be 
  completed before voting on the Committee Specification

  

  
Hello 
  all,

  
 

  
I have begun to 
  assemble the list of items that we need to finish before the 
  draft specification will be ready for consideration as a committee 
  draft.  As I was putting this together I realized my individual view is 
  probably not sufficient and that I very much would like your input 
  on what still needs to be done.  

  
 

  
Please take the 
  next week to review the specification draft I posted to the list last week and 
  send me any items that you believe should be added/edited before the committee 
  takes the specification to a vote.  I will compile everyone's inputs into 
  a schedule to complete the document.  Please send me your inputs by 
  the end of the day on Wednesday, February 28, 2007 and I will post the 
  schedule by March 3, 2007.

  
 

  
Thank 
  you,
