I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year! > You may find the minutes from the last CIDOC-CRM meeting in > http://www.cidoc-crm.org/special_interest_meetings.html#MINUTES-2013October21
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/docs/29th-meeting-presentations/RulesForCommunication.docx This is an excellent document that encourages anyone to raise issues for electronic voting. However, I have doubts about the efficiency of issue tracking on this mailing list and at the issue list: http://www.cidoc-crm.org/work_progress.php A good example is this issue raised by me 25m ago and re-raised by Athina Krisotaki 8m ago: - Nov 2011: ISSUE: "P43 has dimension" should apply to E1 Entity, not E70 Thing - Apr 2013: issue 223 - Apr 2013: issue 223 "P43 has dimension" should apply to E1 Entity, not E70 Thing It is still not in the issue list. Other problems: - One cannot contribute directly to the discussion on an issue but has to rely on someone manually carrying information over from the mailing list. - The justifications of particular resolutions are not recorded in detail - When the resolution is taken in a face to face meeting, one cannot contribute unless physically present (the electronic voting should alleviate this) I'll be preparing a proposal for a COST Action to support the work of the CRM SIG with funding for meetings, workshops, summer schools, individual trips, electronic communication. ** So I will appreciate all your thoughts and comments on how this aspect of the work can be improved. - I've seen excellent examples of integrated issue tracking at the W3C work groups. They have regular online chats, and a robot watches all raised issues and tasks, and enters them into a tracker. Another robot watches mailing list traffic and cross-links all emails mentioning a particular issue. Maybe we can get and deploy their software. - Another option would be a dedicated issue tracker such as Jira, the one in Google Projects, etc Kindest regards! Vladimir
