Hi All,
We'd like to try be a bit more structured about how we handle comments on WG documents, esp as they get closer to last call. Luckily, Eliot Lear has agreed to maintain an issues list for us, hosted on the rt.psg.com server. (Thanks Eliot!) You can view the current issues list at [1]. It has a few entries we added partly for test purposes. Here's how we'd like to start using this: - Anyone can suggest an issue in an email with "New Issue:" at the start of the subject line. - Each issue has to map to one or more WG documents (currently that means only the threats draft) - Issues can be reasonably raised for typos and other editorials (in groups preferably) or else for single, substantive, specific technical issues (with suggested alternate text being especially welcome) - The default is to add the suggested issue to the list unless its a really silly issue or a repeat (Eliot will try to detect such, aided by Barry and I) - Discussion should be on the same thread and Eliot will edit in the salient points as we go (however the tool supports that, I'm not sure yet) - Barry and/or I declare the issue closed whenever we detect consensus, with a pointer to a list message or some other text on why the issue is now closed. - Three or more requests from list participants are needed to re-open an issue (with that number maybe increasing the closer we get to completing the work) So let's try it out by commenting the threats draft! [2] We can massage the rules above as we go if that's necessary, but let's try using it first and *not* have a debate before starting. Cheers, Stephen.
