Subject: [chairs] requirements/functionality for DcoMgmt system

Chairs, and ad hoc docmgmt committee:

Attached is a summary of the requirements gathered by the ad hoc doc 
mgmt committee, together with some ideas for functionality produced by 
Jeff Lomas and myself.

I would like to get your final feedback on these requirements: would a 
system built on this set of requirements and functionality provide your 
TC with what it needs to manage your documents?

Notice the phased approach: the first phase allows for collaborative 
document creation/editing by TC members. At whatever point this first 
phase ends the document is turned over to the TC editor or chair to own 
and maintain, and it is at this point that the document gets a formal 
filename and is tracked and versioned through the system. Is this a 
reasonable approach?

Please respond to me over the next few days, regarding both of the above 
issues, so that Jeff and I can start system design.
