Because the Canvas spec is still going through the BBC Trust (?) it
would be unwise for anyone within the BBC to really comment deeply on
it. I'll double check when I'm off holiday
This is actually what I’d assumed the case would be, so I was a little
surprised by the blog post yesterday (which conveniently skirts around
the point that neither Sky nor Virgin Media, for example, would be
able to officially make their STBs work with Canvas-delivered services
without ditching their own user interfaces and using the Canvas UX).
Much of blogs/bbcinternet does seem to be predominantly PR-driven
(wherever the issues themselves may originate), which makes it an
unfortunate venue for any real dialogue on (with all respect to Nick &
co.) things which aren’t *relatively* superficial.
Remember when backstage released a load of documents for the BBC's DMI
project? There was even a podcast -

It seems it would be good to pull some of that stuff in to the wiki at
projectcanvas.co.uk. Who is andrew pascoe and does he subscribe to
this
list? before i saw his site i was going to propose a annotation
service
for the canvas spec. Although a wiki might be better in this case.
I’ve prodded; I think you’re right, though, a decent way to dissect it
all without having to wade through the raw docs isn’t a bad idea at all
—be it a wiki or something else…
