Description Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2005-03-04 02:44:28 UTC
There seem to be two components being mixed up in this specification.
One is a specification produced by a working group, the other is the
workflow of a working group. Its not clear that these are fully
distinguished, or should be evaluated on the same proforma.

In Section 5 Quality Control, 5GP A, define an internal publication and 
review process is workflow oriented.  It is difficult to evaluate these 
workflow components, since it is different than the other 
guidelines.  Basically these are out of character with the rest of 
SpecGL.  Need to distinguish these better.  Proposal  move it, so it isnt 
in the main body of the specification. This would be consistent with not 
mixing normative and informative information.  Rename good practice.  These 
aim at editing a specification. 2.3GP B systematic review of normative 
references rework so that it remains in the body of SpecGL.  GP Write test 
assertions should also be part of the spec. 5GP A, B is workflow. 5GP D, E 
could fit in chapter 3, if rewritten.  4.2GPA need for optional feature 
reword as use optional features as warranted.
Link 2.1B to 5C.
ACTION:  Move to appendix.  Reformat perhaps more textual, rename so there 
are no good practices.  Label as informative.   Karl
ACTION: rework GP2.3 B to be less workflow, but keep it in the main body of 
the document.  Dave 15 March
ACTION: Move 5GP D test assertions into chapter 3 and reword.  Patrick. 15 
March
ACTION: Move 5GP E formal languages into chapter 3 and reword.  Dom 15 March
ACTION: change title of 4.2GPA to Use optional features as warranted.
RESOLUTION: agree with the TAG, will separate the workflow aspects from the 
specifications aspects of the document.

Done by karl in editors version as a new informative section, coming right after
the guidelines.
