Hi Martin, Christiane,
I remember looking at Christiane's pages back when those names were being
proposed. It seemed to be a very sensible approach to creating standard
names. However, I recall that in the ensuing discussions on the CF
mailing list there were many changes to the details, so that even though I
liked the concept I thought that the webpages had become out of date.
I just tracked down Christiane's recent email where she mentioned her wiki
(dated 3 Nov 2008), and I see it has been updated.
The link was
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/CF_Standard_Names_-_Construction_of_Atmospheric_Chemistry_and_Aerosol_Terms
It seems to combine proposals for the way to handle chemistry standard
names (many of which I like), along with descriptions of how the current
chemistry standard names are generated.
I also see that you list four alternative administrative procedures
for the approval of standard_names in the future, which include many of
the recent proposals on this email list.
Could you clarify the purpose of the wiki?
Are you intending that this be a basis for future discussions of these
issues?
Best wishes,
Philip

Dear all,
juts to give a vote: I agree with all comments made by Christiane in her
recent series of mails. It would be nice if we can reach consensus on the
naming concept and new standard names for atmospheric chemistry rather soon
now. The fact that Christiane's Wiki pages were not mentioned too often can
only mean that everyone concerned agrees with their content. Now would be
the time to protest.
Best regards,
Martin
