Last week, we reduced the scope of the PWG Std Events spec and Events schema to Printer-only (Printer, Job, Document, and Subunit).  Fine, but... (1) Alerts schema - Should I delete 'AlertResource'?     - it depended on the now _deleted_ ResourceXxx events       in the Events schema and Resource object in the       (abandoned) Imaging System Model draft (2) Alerts schema - Should I change 'NotifySourceState'     to delete 'Testing' and 'Down' from 'hrDeviceStatus'     in Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790)?     - this change will make support of coherent Printer       state harder to harmonize with HR MIB     - I think that it's a bug that Printer state in IPP/1.1       requires state reasons to report Down or Testing (3) Alerts schema - Should I rename 'NotifySourceState'     to 'NotifyPrinterState' and 'NotifySourceURI' to     'NotifyPrinterURI'?     - doing so effectively closes the future possibility       of multifunction alert support in WIMS (4) Resource schema - Should we abandon this schema?     - last week's meeting seemed against adding any       new objects except in some future PWG MFP Model     - abandoning Resources seems foolish to me     (5) Schedule schema - Should I reorganize it into     the three Monitoring, Management, and Admin groups     of Actions?     - this seems worthwhile, as it describes WIMS levels       better (6) Schedule schema - Should I delete Resource actions?     - Does WIMS WG accept the need to model Resource? (7) Schedule schema - Should I import 'NotifyEvents' from     the Events schema?         - this looks better, but again loses Resources (8) Schedule schema - Should I add the elements for     Supported[Operations|Actions|Objects] here, so     that RegisterForManagement operation works?     - the WIMS operations won't appear in any generic       PWG Semantic Model element in the forseeable future Cheers, - Ira Ira McDonald (Musician / Software Architect) Blue Roof Music / High North Inc PO Box 221  Grand Marais, MI  49839 phone: +1-906-494-2434 email: imcdonald@sharplabs.com </BODY> </HTML>
