[glue-wg] Getting GLUE2 LDAP published

Hi Alan,

To be honest, I don't understand your comments; we always placed the
final schemas on schemas.ogf.org; We can use it as a reference in the
realisation document even though is weird, because the document exists
before the file in schemas.ogf.org.
Same comment for the LDAP schema: it cannot contain the schemas.ogf.org
url before we have something at that URL...

As you understand, managing code with a wiki or through heavily
burocratical procedures is not really exciting -- well it's not even
practically possible :D I
I guess we used github as any other thing one could use to share source
code. Without some form of versioning collaborative coding is useless in
my opinion. If OGF suggests us an alternative we will follow it. If the
page you sent us -- an OGF dedicated area in github -- is the suggested
way to go, we can go that way no problem. I guess is just a matter of
pulling the repos into the OGF areas.

If  the presence of the github URL in the LDAP schema bothers you, I can
remove any reference to github from it and keep the redmine one; for me
it makes no difference whatsoever.

Especially because, at least for the case of LDAP, the schema is
packaged and distributed elsewhere by the various linux distributions
and their package maintainers, who sadly might not care about github or
schemas.ogf.org anyway. But it all depends which URL we ask them to
refer to.

I can add schemas.org.org somewhere in the schema that is on github as a
reference to the last official schema, but github is code in
development, so pointing to schemas.ogf.org simply does not make sense
to me. That host IMHO should contain only the stuff officially approved
by the group and not the work in progress -- that is exactly what is
currently doing!

Regards,
Florido
