Here is an update. I tried to capture all the changes we spoke of recently. I have not edited the reference document that describes the directory structure, file relationships etc. That is the bear we've been wrestling with... so the job is not done. But I hope the base process doc can be finalized now, or very soon. I can't say I like the document. I think we've patched it to much and the result is too wordy. I wold prefer to re-write from scratch (except IP section) in very terse and succinct fashion... but I hardly found time to do these patches... so that will have to wait until I retire from my real job. Some section number internal links are hosed. Maybe some guru can help with that on final revision. I also need to plug back in the (landscape) process diagram but doing so was like playing "whack-a-mole" because it caused document anomalies which I would suppress in one place only to find them shift to another location in the document. Again, I'll probably need help if I'm to preserve what small amount of hair I have left.   I took liberty with prototyping. We had MUST but decided SHOULD (to avoid defining prototyping) but were uncomfortable because we really do want to insist on some prototyping... so I took a shot... read and comment. I did not plug in the "tools chain" requirement. Why? I'd like to FINISH! We've made so many process changes that effect voting, naming etc that we've crated a LOT of confusion among wg's. Tool chain will be NICE to get in at some later revision but we really NEED a stable process right now! I don't expect this is the FINAL version.. but hope it is close. Please review in prep for Thursday meeting if possible. I KNOW! THAT (short notice) breaks the process! Oh, yea... I tried to update boiler-plate too... based on recent comments from ISTO. <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406-rev.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406-rev.pdf</a> <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406.pdf</a> <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406-rev.doc">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/pwg-process20-20040406-rev.doc</a> ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ----------------------------------------------
