I’d vote no meeting, simply because
I’ve got a cold and I’m not anywhere near 100%.
That being said, lets see your progress as
soon as the next pass through is completed.
I’ll try to make one more solid pass
through the doc before we go CS.

Subject: [xri] Progress report on
XRI Res 2.0 WD11 ED06
Good news and bad news:
The good news is that editing is proceeding very smoothly,
with that nice sound of all the pieces falling into place with no (repeat NO)
new issues arising (yet ;-)
The bad news: I’ve used up 1.5 days of the 2.0 ideal
days I predicted it will take for ED06 and I’m still not quite halfway
done. The reason is simple: besides rewriting section 12 from scratch, the
decisions we made about Redirect and Ref processing ripple throughout the
entire spec. Not just in the text, but in all the flowcharts. (I knew the
flowcharts would need updating, but I didn’t expect a complete overhaul.)
Back to the good news: in that overhaul, the new Redirect
and Ref processing rules make the flowcharts considerably simpler and easier to
follow, so it will be worth it.
Updated estimate: since I have to fly to San Diego and back tomorrow, I will get at
most a half-day’s writing time on the plane. I will need at least another
ideal day beyond that to complete everything. Since Thursday and Friday are
each half-booked, that means it will take me into early next week to complete
ED06. Monday I fly to Boston,
so I will likely use that plane trip to do the final editing, then post ED06
next Tuesday morning.
I’ll leave it to Gabe to decide whether we should hold
our XRI/XDI telecon this week (my vote is no so I can use the time on the
spec). In any case, I’d ask everyone to please reserve time next Tuesday
and Wednesday, Oct. 16 and 17, to review ED06 carefully and compile
comments/feedback so we can hold a full-scale final review telecon on Thursday
Oct. 18. We should be down to just nits by that point, but with a spec of this
size, even dealing with nits could take a few days, and we absolutely want to
compete the Committee Draft vote before the end of the month.
