Mary,
I'm glad to hear that OASIS staff recognizes the importance
of
TC support infrastructure, but I don't see in your message
any
indication that OASIS staff recognizes the importance of
getting
member input on issues of TC support
infrastructure.

Hi Paul,
I understand your frustration with Kavi, and yes,
OASIS staff is working hard to craft a solution that will be stable for years
to come. Existing file naming and location conventions are all over the map;
we need a repeatable set of production rules that will not only provide
predictable and persistent URLs but ensure that our standards are easily
accessible to the public at large. This is just one piece of the larger
document management issue (which is just one piece of the larger TC support
infrastructure) which we are currently working to resolve. I can't speak
to past practices but want to assure you that Jamie and I - TC Admin -
consider this a top priority.
Regards,
Mary

If "OASIS" is defining rules, then "OASIS" should be
asking the
OASIS members for input and opinions. "OASIS" has
done stuff
in the past that has caused serious negative impact on
TC work
(e.g., Kavi in general), and it would be nice to avoid
similar problems
in the future.
Why doesn't "OASIS" (whoever they are) work with its
own membership
more in such technical areas?
(Apologies if there has been a request for input on
this issue and I missed it.)
