Action item list on wiki (was Re: [ogsa-wg] OGSA Teleconference (August 17))

[Andreas Savva]

Ravi,

I still feel that what you are asking is too fine-grain and would not
work in the long run. What is really needed is to document what the
approach is on important topics.

Taking the 'font' example below it would not be very useful on a general
list of resolutions if that list also included stuff on information
modeling, execution management, data access, security, etc. Instead if
someone thinks a topic is important and they want to maintain a short
(or long) document explaining what the group consensus is, and *keep it
up-to-date* I would be all for it.

I'll just point out that I did set up an "Architecture Notes" forum some
time back and we still only have one note there. But it's a very good
note and I later used it to write up one subsection in OGSA 1.5.
