Antoine: it does seem a good idea
21:27:59 [Caroline_]
... what would be the idea for grouping
21:28:29 [AndreaPerego]
q+
21:28:30 [Caroline_]
... there will be some discussion about the logical grouping
21:28:41 [Caroline_]
... using semantic web could be useful
21:29:12 [Caroline_]
... I am wondering if using the WG as additional layer
21:29:19 [Caroline_]
... could work
21:29:21 [Caroline_]
ack annette_g
21:29:23 [antoine]
annette_g: I agree, organizing by subject grouping makes sense
21:29:38 [antoine]
... doing it by activity could make sense on the top level
21:30:01 [antoine]
... doing it by wg could be problematic if some items change ownership
21:30:13 [antoine]
... the current proposal looks quite unevenly balanced
21:30:23 [Caroline_]
ack AndreaPerego
21:30:28 [antoine]
... it would be good to have more balanced distribution
21:30:30 [antoine]
+1
21:30:44 [antoine]
AndreaPerego: there are still too many groups
21:30:57 [antoine]
... maybe there could be some faceted search
21:31:04 [antoine]
... it's difficult to scroll down
21:31:30 [antoine]
... looking at the variety and quantity of reports, it could make sense to have different ways of grouping
21:31:44 [antoine]
... for example XML technology, or Semantic Web vocabularies
21:31:55 [antoine]
... or most recent versions, or status of document
21:32:13 [annette_g]
+1 for faceted search
21:32:16 [riccardoAlbertoni]
+1 to grouping by facets (e.g., group, activity, inprogress, )
21:32:25 [antoine]
... maybe using an approach like the one of data catalogs (faceted search) could help
21:32:45 [antoine]
... people to find what they're looking for

... the TR page was a flat list
21:33:30 [antoine]
... it was changed 15 years ago, putting specs in buckets.
21:33:42 [antoine]
... 7 or 8 families of buckets
21:33:59 [antoine]
... people were complaining about the difficulty of finding things
21:34:16 [antoine]
... 3-4 years ago we went back to the list approach
21:34:23 [antoine]
... but with a search function
21:34:42 [antoine]
... we wanted to keep things as simple as possible
