Hi all Some time has passed since the last discussions on this thread, and the preceding thread "Representing the next version of the CellML Specification".
To summarise: Various possible technologies for managing the specification development were discussed, please see the relevant postings for details. Following the first discussion, a prototype of the apparently most suitable combination has been set up by Andrew Miller as follows: 1) Git is being used for distributed version control. 2) Docbook is being used for the document format. The e-mails on these threads raised various pros and cons of each of this configuration. To address the cons of the above setup, the following policy will be adopted: Not all participants in the specification process will be expected to directly use these tools. Members of the Auckland CellML team will to act as "proxy" editors for those who opt not to use the above tools directly. At the Auckland CellML meeting of 14 November, it was suggested that we round up this discussion within the next week. We are of the view that the above system will work out best, when all things are taken into consideration. So, the next step is to try and use the above system and policy, and raise any major concerns by 21 November by mailing this list on this thread. Our goal will be to work-around any issues if possible. If not, we will reassess, and potentially restart the prototyping stage.
