Over the weekend I plan on putting together a summary of the main Embedlet
related ideas that the group has generated in what I call the Brainstorming
phase of this project.
After this summary is posted early next week I am then going to propose the
following:
1) That we officially choose a project manager for the project.
I think that everyone would probably agree that we are now ready to start
tightening up the project and moving on to the project's Development phase.
Thankfully, the Brainstorming phase of the project has provided a rich base of
ideas for us to work with.
2) That the project manager's first task will be to obtain group consensus on
what file format is going to be used for the project's documentation needs.
I think it is important for us to keep in mind that we will be developing a
full-blown Embedlets specification which should be very similar to the Servlet
specification. The current Servlet specification is 257 pages long, includes a
large number of sections, a significant amount of formatting and a very
detailed table of contents.
Beyond this, every Sun created Java specification that I am aware of is
published in .PDF format and I think it is important for the Embedlets
specification to follow this pattern too. For this reason I think that the
documentation file format that we choose must be easily translatable into .PDF
file format.
I do not think that we are going to be able to move forward until we resolve
this documentation file format issue.
Ok, I am off to start combing through the list archives in order to begin
extracting the main Embedlet ideas that we have generated...
