San Mateo meeting on WWW Distributed Authoring

["Roy T. Fielding" <fi...@liege.ICS.UCI.EDU>]

Is anyone in the CA Bay Area tribe interested in Distributed Authoring
on the Web?  If so, it would be nice if you could represent the
Apache Group at the following meeting, which will eventually lead to
a W3C working group on the subject.

Subject: Re: July 10 participation help 

There is a planned kick-off meeting for parties interested in
interoperability issues of Distributed Authoring on the World Wide Web for
July 10 in San Mateo, California at the offices of NaviSoft (many thanks to
Dave Long <da...@navisoft.com> for graciously arranging these facilities).
So far the following people are planning on attending: Dan Connolly (W3C),
Larry Masinter (Xerox PARC, IETF HTTP WG Chair), Dennis Hamilton (Xerox
PARC, Document Management Alliance), Dave Long (NaviSoft), Jim Whitehead
(U.C. Irvine), Lee Farrell (Canon), Christopher Seiwald (P3, an SCM
vendor), Ralph Ferris (Fujitsu).

If you're planning on attending this meeting, please drop Jim Whitehead
<ej...@ics.uci.edu> a short note via email so he can tell Dave Long how many
people to expect.  Also, if you have any A/V requests, please forward those
along to Jim as well.  Thanks!

Let me put forward the following meeting agenda, which we can refine based
on your concerns and items you'd like to see addressed.

Morning (9AM)
 - Introductions
 - Discussion of the direction and purpose of the working group
 - Overview of efforts to date on distributed authoring
 - Review of current distributed web authoring systems and the mechanisms
they employ

Break for lunch at noon.

Afternoon (1:30PM)
 - Identification of key areas in which existing systems are unable to
interoperate (e.g., HTTP method employed to write contents, access control)
 - Discussion of which key areas can be profitably addressed by this
working group, and a rough prioritization of the areas
 - Solicitation of volunteers for coordinating work on improving
interoperability in key areas
 - Development of criteria for evaluating the success of key area work groups
 - Establishing timelines for action
