OK, now I understand.
The method as described has many revisions
over a wd until piping up to the TC that it’s ready for review. At that
point no more revisions would be made against that wd and if any editorial or
other changes were needed it would go into wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn +1.
But wouldn’t the editors work on wsrmp-1.1-spec-ed-nn and at some
point decide to bring that to the TC’s attention as wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn?
So there would be many revisions of the ed-nn version but not of the wd-nn
version. I see that going through many ed revisions and then going to a wd
version with no revisions would be more work. More importantly its more use of
Kavi as well which I certainly see as a bigger pain. So if that sounds like a
hassle then don’t worry about it.
My concern was how the TC would view many
revisions on a given wd, it seems weird. As long as it doesn’t change
once the TC starts reviewing it and pointing to it I don’t see any real
problem.

Document titles and revision management
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.
Comments?
