OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

I needed to report that I was the critical path (slipping day for day at the
moment) on a task undertaken with Francis Cave at SC34 WG6.

The discussion of progression and what the critical paths are at the front
is relevant to concerns of the ODF TC, and is my personal thinking on how I
propose to contribute my efforts.

Hi Dennis,

OK.  That's fine.  And we do have a WG6 meeting next week, so it does make 
sense to give them a "heads up" so it can get onto the agenda.

For background, when it comes time to contribute the published work, I 
send the SC34 Secretariat the PDF file of the spec, and cc Jamie Clark 
(OASIS liaison to JTC1), Patrick (Project Editor), Francis (WG6 Convenor) 
and Michael (Co-Chair).  This gets everyone on the same page.  It also 
causes the PDF to be added as a numbered document to the SC34 document 
repository, as well as a notification going out to all SC34 National 
Bodies.  This is good because it reenforces the message to SC34 NBs that 
we're fulfilling our maintenance obligations.

Of course, the "real work" happens back in WG6, but we need to make sure 
everyone gets the message.  This helps avoid misunderstandings, etc., of 
the kind we had a few years ago.

Thanks.,

-Rob
