    All,
     
    I have experience with WIKI as a collaboration site. I think it is a great tool. It can provide for revision control of documents and is easy for people of varying skill to contribute to. In the end, the discussion pages can be simply saved off as web archives ".mht" and posted on the OASIS site as with other documents. This can be done weekly or monthly so revision history can be easily reviewed.
     
    The WIKI we used last year in a project supported access controls. Visitors (i.e. non-members) could add comments but could not change the page content. It works very well. Learning curve is fairly shallow.
     
    One way you could use it is to create one or more pages where the issue(s) are at the top and commentary is added below. Clarifications and updates to the issue can be done by whoever is authorized.

    MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING
    00H30 - 02H30 UTC TUESDAY 10 JANUARY 2006

    ATTENDANCE

       Jon Bosak (chair)
       Stephen Green
       Andy Schoka
       Sylvia Webb

    STANDING ITEMS

       Liaison report: ebBP TC; subcommittee report: SBSC

          SG: Was waiting for joint submission with ebBP TC... Have
          included some things in SBS that are also in ebBP support
          document folder.  These are now final as far as ebBP is
          concerned (will confirm this Tuesday).  Sascha Schlegel has
          successfully tested the SBS artifacts using Cyclone Commerce
          software.  The SBS package has now been submitted to the UBL
          TC and is ready for action by the TC.

          ACTION: JB to put SBS on the agenda of the Wednesday
          Atlantic TC call and start work on the CD2 ballot after that
          meeting.

       Review of Atlantic call

          No comments.

       Schedule review

          JB: We will revise the schedule in Manhattan.

    ISSUES WIKI

       We briefly discussed the idea of setting up a wiki for issue
       tracking.

       SW: If a wiki or something similar is used for comments and
       issue resolution, GEFEG will still need a single document at
       the end of the process containing any programming requirements
       or issues along with their resolution.  DavidK does not have
       time to go through a collaborative environment.

       Various: We have reservations about how this would work... how
       searches would work... how to produce a list of comments and
       dispositions that would meet the requirements of the OASIS
       process... how to control access...

       ACTION: JB to add a discussion of issues tracking to the agenda
       for Manhattan.

    ACTION ITEM TO BE ASSIGNED

       [Saito-san:]

          | (3) There are descriptions about changed Elements and
          | Attributes at section 1.3.3 and 1.3.4. There is no information
          | of the reason why these Elements and Attributes are
          | changed. Especially, removed items should need to describe the
          | reasons. For example: The item is removed because the function
          | became unnecessary. The item is removed because the item is
          | achieved by another means.

       SW: For the majority of PSC meetings, MarkL and PeterB did most
       of the changing, and Peter did most or all of the
       documentation.  This is well minuted.  So this work should be
       done primarily by Peter and Mark.

       JB: Will suggest that they do this offline.  [But it now occurs
       to me that this could be done at the meeting in Manhattan.]

    ACTION ITEM REVIEW

       ACTION: JB to contact PB regarding example instances for
       Manhattan.

       SG: Have been working on certain documents; plan is to finish
       in Manhattan.

    OTHER BUSINESS

       AS: We need to develop techniques for seeing the forest rather
       than the trees...

       SG: Like Dave Carlson's class diagrams in 1.0.

       JB: TC calls will (as usual) be canceled next week and the week
       following the F2F in Manhattan.  We will have a Pacific call
       next week, but it will be an informal work session.

       JB: It's looking like the meeting in Brussels originally
       scheduled for the week of 24 April will have to move out a
       couple of weeks to give us time to prep the issues for
       disposition.

       SG: May would be good.
