That's not what we agreed to at the last F2F. We
agreed that we didn't want bother the group with constantly changing WD versions
(Monday wd-03, Tues wd-04 and wd-05, Thu wd-06). We also agreed that we didn't
want to create confusion by only showing the group "certain" WDs (wd-05 followed
by wd-23) as it would be difficult to follow which WD followed which from the
TC's perspective (was wd13 the "next" WD after wd05 or was that wd09?). One of
the reasons we wanted CVS was to track multiple revisions of the same WD
version. Without CVS we have decided to use Kavi like CVS by maintaining
multiple revisions of the same WD version.

Document titles and revision management
I think what you want
is a title like wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-02 with no revisions in Kavi at all. When
you get to wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-03 you would then move the old one to the other
folder to reduce directory clutter.
I don’t believe there
ever should be more than one version of a doc like wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn. I
would think any check in would rev the nn. Otherwise how could line numbers
stay consistent after you edit on version of wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn and then
check in another?
I can see the
argument against using Kavi’s versioning and not creating a single title like
wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd and then only displaying the nn within the doc (I would
assume it should match the Kavi revision number). Note that is how I am
managing the issue list during this migration to the stable url. However I
can’t imagine someone really wanting revision 05 vs. 07 of that but I
definitely see the need for the specs.

Subject: [ws-rx-editors] Document titles
and revision management
Currently in the WS-RX Editors SC
area of Kavi we seem to have adopted two methods of title/revision management.
The WSRM spec has a single title (WSRM 1.1 Editors Draft) that does not
contain any details about versions etc. Under this Kavi title you can find
versions of both wsrm-1.1-spec-04 and wsrm-1.1-spec-05 (the fault lies with
me, I checked in the first version of wd-05 under the same
title).
The WSRMP spec, on the other hand,
is titled "wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-01.sxw". Under this title you will only find
versions of wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-01. Umit informs me that, when
wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-02 is created, she intends to create a corresponding Kavi
title to be used for all versions of wd-02 and so on . .
.
"What's it going to be then,
eh?"
I'm leaning towards Umit's method
since it makes it easier to find individual wd-xx versions without having to
dig through the history of a single Kavi title. We can keep the "Calendar
Documents" folder clean by rolling off old titles into an "Old Titles"
folder.
