[jsdl-wg] JSDL 2.0 BOF?

Hi Andreas,

please excuse, I mixed things up.

Maybe I try to clarify:
a) We have the list of next JSDL issues for quite some time, but nobody
was really taking them up.
b) Andrew would like to discuss about JSDL 2.0.

So I deliberatly ignored the "BoF" issue and was referring to a proper
JSDL-WG session to re-discuss the list we have AND see what Andrew's
idea for a next version of JSDL are. I think this is covered by the
current JSDL scope.

In case there is a common understanding that such a discussion on a
future version of  JSDL is out of the scope of the current JSDL-WG, than
I haven't seen this yet.

I am definitly not in favour of seperating a) and b) by doing a BoF
separated from the core JSDL-WG.

Best regards, Philipp.
