Status for the Rfc-ed/IANA Sync Project: 16 Sep 2011 - 23 Sep 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Summary
=======

Waiting on dependencies

What's done
===========

Not much. Ole was porting the /submit/ and is still working on the 
alternate streams assignment.

What's next
===========

Ole indicated today that the above is far enough along that I can start 
injecting code in the right places. I'll do so on monday (and expect to 
finish it on monday).

Time plan
=========

The rest that is needed is what needs to happen with IANA. Should I send 
the proposal (a little more formally written) that I gave you a while 
back? Or should I send it to you?

Problems and Possibilities
==========================

None, so far.

Best,
Martin

Status for the WG Charter Tool Project: 16 Sep 2011 - 23 Sep 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Summary
=======

A couple of more changes made.

What's done
===========

I made some minor changes based on feedback from RjS.

What's next
===========

Baring any additional changes, nothing else is planned.

Problems and Possibilities
==========================

Regarding your thoughts on showing the charters as regular document 
pages I think it could be done. There are, however, some differences 
betweeen documents and charters that we would have to account for:

* The charter pages also show some information from the associated Group
* There are snapshots on the charter page
* The ballot process is slightly different (other positions can be held)
* The history page shows more information (e.g. from the history of the 
Group) than the history page for a document
* The announcements are different

We could probably make templates that could be used for both charters 
and documents (and any eventual new types of documents), and we could go 
even further and make an abstract view that could contain both types. It 
would entail being able to specify how the history of a (generic) 
document is assembled, what additional meta information would be 
displayed, and somehow account for the different processes the documents 
go through.

Depending on how many new document types you expect I'm not sure where 
to use common (abstract) code and where to use specialised code, which 
would be easier to change in the event the process for that document 
type changes.

Best,
Martin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

The command line client is now in the Python Package Index, and the GUI installers are complete.

What's done
===========

- Fedora/RPM installer finished
- Submitted command line application to the package index
- Fixed a text formatting bug from the mailing list


What's next
===========

- Continued cross platform testing
- Ensuring the IETF has proper access to the Python Package Index package


Time plan
=========

Finish cross platform testing this next week.


Problems and Possibilities
==========================

- Will xml2rfc-gui be submitted to the Debian/Fedora package repositories? And if so, would you like us to dot his submission?
