Hello all As you know we will have an Introductory Meeting in Paris, the afternoon of June 14. The time is not yet set (any preferences?). I will post the time and room location soon. Below is the proposed Agenda. Please email me any comments or additions. Agenda Introductions Discussion of purpose Discussion of deliverables --White papers on conformance topics --Guidelines for submitting tests to OASIS --Test methodologies Relationship to other groups --EbXML --W3C --Other OASIS committees Review draft outline on Guideline on submitting tests New topics I will draft and circulate an outline for the Guideline on Submitting Tests to OASIS prior to Paris. Basically there are 3 cases in which members have or may want to donated conformance tests to OASIS - a) donate tests at the start of a new effort (e.g., XSLT, XML), b) donate tests after a test suite has been released (e.g., XML), c) donate a completed test suite for which there isn't interest in forming a new OASIS TC (e.g., DOM?) Our idea is that for all these cases, there should be some ground rules, e.g., all tests should be run on several different platforms - this helps to ensure that the tests are independent of the implementation and helps to check the correctness of the tests. regards Lynne
