Interoperability and the F2F
Updated the proposal to make it relative
to the next CD since basing an interop

on WDs doesn't make as much sense.  Changed
dates to be relative dates.

In terms of presenting something to the TC during
next week's

F2F, what about this:

DD/MM  - TC approves next CD

+ 4wks - Send a draft scenario document to the TC.

         This scenario doc
should try to cover interoperability

         for the features
defined in the core spec. [*]

+ 2wks - Final date for feedback from the TC on the
doc.

         TC doesn't need
to formally approve it but we request

         suggestions/comments
by this date.

+ 2wks - Unless we totally messed up the first draft
and just need

         to make minor changes
based on the feedback, we

         produce the official
scenario doc that will be used

         for the interop
event.

         Send out an official
notification of the interop event

         and doc(s).

+ 6wks - Shoot for an interop event this week.

         Previous interops
allowed for 6 weeks between scenario doc

         being published
and the event itself.

[*] Questions:  

Both specs or just core spec?  Do we want people
to support

ws-policy?  I'm leaning towards just the core
spec.

What type of event do we want?  Personally, I
like the idea of

a virtual interop but I know that the pressure of
a f2f helps

force people to make the dates.

(virtual == put up an endpoint (RMS and RMD) on the
web)

 for example: http://wsi.alphaworks.ibm.com:8080/wsrm/index.html

 so people can test at will)

What kind of results do we want to publish and how
do we want to

publish them?  Generic: "it went well"
- or specific "company X

passed 1,2,3 but not 4,5,6"  ???  Do
we even want to publish

anything at all?  What does Oasis require?

thoughts?

thanks
