There were other rules too according to file placement and approval and syntax and stuff like that is also demonstrated in the prototype. Files are scanned for viruses at upload time. They can equally be scanned for XML completeness or anything else we can reasonably automate. The stages of the workflows can be restricted based on easily programmed checks, regex or otherwise, on any metadata, including file filename. I setup the filename check as a proof of this, not anything else. We can include all rules. > That's what David Krauth worked on a good bit -- because it's > way harder (and more important) than "file" management. Seriously, with as much work as I've done so far, hearing anyone offer any additional value to what he did is just insulting. Unless you have something to show for all the work he did here, please stop saying this. He helped open up conversation a lot, but actually produced very little. The best we have to go on so far is a long listing of rules and processes that are unfortunately still difficult to follow and impossible to implement. And an email conversation thread about this will get out of hand, so I don't want to have it here. -- Regards, Neil Schelly W: 978-667-5115 x213 M: 508-410-4776 Senior Systems Administrator OASIS http://www.oasis-open.org "Advancing open standards for the information society."
