Manifest kickoff

The group discussed the upcoming main work for the group, namely defining what is loosely referred to as "manifest". For the sake of the discussions for the coming period, the group agreed to use the term loosely as a collection of information that is necessary for the purposes of a Web Publication. The group agreed to begin by surveying the PWP Use case documents to collect the minimal amount of information that is minimally necessary without a concern, for now, on the format, serialization, etc., of this set of information. The main guidelines is “The Web works, use it!” (quote from Baldur Bjarnason, as conveyed to the group by Dave Cramer…). This will be the main goal of the upcoming two weeks, i.e., before the next call (next week’s call has been cancelled due to the US 4th of July festivities).
