Review process for the Use Cases
--------------------------------
  Each member of OGF PGI may add comments to each Use Case.

  Options:
    # 1 - Compile one single draft document containing all Use Cases,
everybody can comment this single document
      Vote YES by Morris, Mark
      Vote NO  by Etienne :  In order to enforce traceability when many
people simultaneously add comments to the same document, only a simple
text document under SVN is suitable, NOT a MS-WORD or OpenOffice document

    # 2 - For a while, keep 1 separate document for each Use Case in
order to receive comments, later compile all of them into a single document
      Vote YES by Etienne, Aleksandr
      In order to manage modifications of a document by several people :
      - GridForge permits to put a separate lock on each document,
      - It is more efficient to manage a separate lock for each one of
several separate documents than 1 single lock on 1 single big document.

    # 3 - Google Docs
      Vote NO by Etienne :  That is NOT OGF groupware.

  Agreed process:  Option # 2
    Assume each Use Case document is on GridForge
    1) Using GridForge, lock the document, then download it
    2) Using a document editor (MS-Word, OpenOffice, ...), turn the
'track changes' option on, perform the changes, save the document
    3) Using GridForge, upload the document, then unlock it
    4) Inform the group via e-mail that there have been changes

  Deadlines :
    2010-07-15  for everyone to make comments on each separate Use Case
    2010-07-22  for the initial author to integrate comments on each
separate Use Case
