4115 - Summary/Objective
4116 -
411601 - Follow up ref SDS 29 0000, ref SDS 27 0000.
411602 -
411603 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Eugene Kim following up correspondence on
411604 - 000812 discussing the sequence for project development, for example
411605 - Grant Bowman's letter, ref DRP 1 0001 responding to a letter submitted
411606 - to the DKR team by Eric Armstrong.
411607 -
411608 - Eugene says today that technical discussion has been going all over
411609 - the place on the list; he proposes people focus on...
411610 -
411611 -    1. Architecture and design for stage one: e-mail archiving.
411612 -       ref DRT 1 WH6L
411613 -
411614 -       Doug is meeting with several people individually to try to come
411615 -       up with a unified architecture, which we can then propose to the
411616 -       community at large.  Even if you are not one of those people
411617 -       Doug is meeting with initially, you can make some important
411618 -       contributions to the design, especially by commenting on some of
411619 -       the documents that have been produced
411620 -       and that will be produced.
411621 -       ..
411622 -    2. Augment->XML->HTML. ref DRT 1 AB7L
411623 -
411624 -       Shinya has done an initial translator, and Grant is going to
411625 -       help here also.  Hopefully, the two will start reporting on
411626 -       their progress on this list, especially so that others can start
411627 -       giving feedback.  Once an initial translator is up, this will
411628 -       have ramifications for the item above, because Doug will be able
411629 -       to put up many of his design notes and documentation from years
411630 -       past.
411631 -
411632 -    3. E-mail DTD and Augment DTD. ref DRT 1 PB8K
411633 -
411634 -       I proposed the former already, but it's nowhere close to ready
411635 -       for primetime.  I'm going to go over some specs this weekend to
411636 -       try to solve some of the outstanding issues, but help is always
411637 -       useful.  Grant and Shinya are ostensibly working on an Augment
411638 -       DTD.
411639 -
411640 -       If you want to contribute to these areas, the best thing you can
411641 -       do is absorb the appropriate XML specs, especially XLink and
411642 -       XPointer.  I know it would be useful for me if I had someone to
411643 -       kick ideas and questions off of regarding these technologies.
411644 -       ..
411645 -    4. Client mockups and prototypes. ref DRT 1 MC9M
411646 -
411647 -       The debate over what technologies we should assume in the
411648 -       clients are premature, in my opinion.  The first step should be
411649 -       to mockup potential user interfaces.  Sheldon is working on this
411650 -       right now, but other contributions would be great.
411651 -
411652 -       These mockups could be in the form of images or prototypes.
411653 -
411654 -          [On 000928 Eugene cites work on mock ups in progress report.
411655 -          ref SDS 30 3B6K
411656 -       ..
411657 -       Based on feedback from Eric and others, I'm convinced that
411658 -       we need to mockup a number of clients.  One absolutely needs to
411659 -       be web-based (HTML 4.0).  But we also need one or more
411660 -       prototypes that demonstrate fancier functionality.  These would
411661 -       not only demonstrate the direction the OHS is headed, but it may
411662 -       also persuade people, such as the Helix Code and Mozilla folks,
411663 -       to modify existing client software to incorporate the
411664 -       functionality of the OHS.  I think Python would be a great
411665 -       technology to use for these prototypes, and I hope Paul or
411666 -       others can offer advice or contribute in these areas.

411671 -
411672 -           So far, there is no OHS/DKR, and so there is no
411673 -           functionality to incorporate.  On 000427 Jack Park cited
411674 -           Mozilla DirectDom as guidance for OHS/DKR design.
