George, As a (very) occasional contributor to CRM development, I'm confused about the Working Groups concept. The current issues list [1] has Working Group as a key concept, although only an insider would have the first idea what '1', '2', '3' and '4' might signify. In your document you appear to propose an incompatible change to the semantics of these magic workgroup numbers. Also, recording which workgroup the issue falls within isn't part of the information which you require for a new issue. Surely it's a key item of information to include?
I can see the sense in starting with issues which affect the core model as (1), then going to editorial changes to the specification as (2). Logically, though, I would then go to documentation which is further from the core model as (3), and finish up with community as (4). Are we only allowed four numbers? If not, I would suggest adding 'implementation/interfaces' as (5). This would encompass issues relating to the implementation of the CRM in systems, and the interface between the CRM model and other ontologies/models/standards. I think it's an important area of work, and maybe it hasn't received the attention it deserves because it doesn't have a magic number. :-) Final point: the guidelines are silent on the process by which an issue number is assigned to an issue. Given that this is its primary key, I think it should be made clear how, and when, it comes into existence.
