Notes on ADC SC Call - 6th Sept 2011 Present ----------- Andreas Robin (Chair) John Patrick Rob Svante Thorsten B Tristan (Robin's office was suffering a power outage so he apologised that he could not access notes made for the call.) UC4 ------ Robin - with ECT buckets it seems that it is not possible to reject changes in any order, only reverse order gives the correct result. Patrick - asked for clarification on why we need to reject out of order. Robin gave the example of moving a text frame and then editing the text. You may wish to only reject the move. UC5 ------ The main issues with this use case is the deletion and re-addition of the text content. It also has the same problems as UC4 but this was already covered in previous call. UC6 ------ ECT is very verbose. Again, cannot reject in any order. Patrick - is the verbosity worse than the current change tracking format? There is not really a comparable example in the current change tracking John - the main concern is how an application matches together the fine-grained GCT changes with a viewable edit operation. Robin responded to say that they are modifying the spec to add editing operation information. Understood that this is an issue for an editing application reading in tracked changes, and needs to be addressed. UC7 + 8 ------------ No significant comments on these use cases. Consensus report ------------------------- Robin will work on a first draft of this, should be complete by month end. Report to contain an introduction to the different approaches, report on work done in the SC and a SWOT analysis for each approach. Comments from SC members would be useful - Rob queried the wisdom of including member's names with quotes. If the document is to be sent out for public review, it can be an issue in that quotes would then need to be approved by companies. Decision was made to include quotes without names. Noted that there will be a revised version of GCT addressing some of the issues raised. There is no revision to ECT expected. AOB ------ Svante asked if we could define what would be in the first milestone. Robin commented that this could only be done once we had decided on which approach to move forward with. Date of next call will need to be re-scheduled as John's dates away have changed, date to be confirmed early in October. -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Robin La Fontaine, Director, DeltaXML Ltd Change control for XML T: +44 1684 592 144 E: [email protected] http://www.deltaxml.com Registered in England 02528681 Reg.
