Re: [virtio] Starter Document in Latex format (was Re: [virtio] Starter Document for Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO)) Version 1.0
Hi Rusty, 

Nope, not at all. It is in the queue - tickets https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/TCADMIN-1541 and https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/TCADMIN-1542 are tracking the work. 

You're just in line behind an unusually long list of requests that we are crunching through as fast as we can. I expect to get started working on Virtio tomorrow or Thursday. If you all would like to have the first public review run a bit longer given the holiday impacts, just let me know. The 30 day is the minimum - we can always run it longer if you want. 

Best, 

/chet

there anything else I need to do?

Cheers,
