I think the issue may not be as simple as lack of WG energy so much as lack of time available. Many in the WG are funded by external sources or work for large companies, in the current straitened times they probably have to justify their work to their bosses. In theory I should have time to do lots of PCN stuff (as I am currently out of work). However right now I am committed to doing lots of decorating, DIY etc. My hope is that I can spend a productive few days at the start of July and I will happily include reviewing other peoples work (as well as getting 3-in-1 encoding shipped). I would volunteer to write the interoperability stuff, but I have zero experience of that so I would just get it wrong! > > I think the Internet would benefit from this technology, and I would > consider abandoning these documents at this point an awful waste of > time, given how much work has been put into them already, so I > STRONGLY encourage the WG to find the energy to complete their > agreed-upon deliverables, but if it is WG consensus to abandon them, I > guess I would have to accept that WG consensus. I strongly feel it would be a waste to bin PCN at this stage. As you say there has been some good work done and it would be a shame to lose it. It sounds like there are a couple of people prepared to put energy into PCN still and hopefully we can wrap this all up quickly.
