    Lee,
     
    That's OK, understood.   I'm not trying to force CAM down your throat - just making sure its available free in every box of cereal that's all!  ; -)
     
    I could make the same arguments of course vis W3C XSD - why does it have to be the only solution?
     
    Contraywise - CAM is an OASIS standard - and I have to give push back when people are saying there are no good ways of doing this - and the schema does it all - and EDXL can't perform as needed.
     
    More seriously - I like the idea of a resource site - and I agree that we need balance - and ability to use a mix of tools.  I'm very much aware that when it comes to tools everyone uses them in their own ways to suit their particular solution mix.  I do the same myself - and hopefully I'm taking a neutral stance WRT the CAM toolset - allowing people to treat it as a smorgesbord.  Certainly I face this challenge every day in supporting development teams for my day job.  Things only get better through a lot of trial and error and finding better solutions.
    On the resource site - why not use the OASIS Wiki that is already there?  It's available - please feel free to plagurise the pages at CAM wiki and refactor to Emergency needs.
     
    Best of all - all TC members can contribute quickly and easily to the wiki - so you don't have to wait on some adminstrative process to add new content.
     
    The biggest challenge of all is providing a cogent story for those first time visitors wanting the quick path - cutting through a lot of information and options - to a place they can get started with and assimulate easily.  I think we are just beginning that journey here toward a rapid adoption EDXL package and it will be interesting to see what we end up with.

    Thanks, DW
