I think it's a good idea that there's some traffic on the email list - we just weren't getting people onto the wiki. What we need are some succinct and brilliant wiki discussions, and by email point people to the wiki to get them going.

For technical reasons, it would be FAR better if people start at http://efgblade.cs.umb.edu/twiki/bin/view/SDD/ than the address that Gregor gave.

The first time you try to make a contribution to the wiki you will be invited to register.

I really hope most discussion takes place in the wiki, not in email. It's a better discussion medium as most people agree after the 15 minute learning curve.

Hello everybody,

The silence after Lisbon this time unexpectedly does not mean we are back to sleep. Together with Bob and Kevin I use all available time in hammering out a new version of the SDD schema incorporating the discussions from Lisbon and increasing the logic and consistency of the schema.

Before we publish the entire schema, I would like to raise some isolated and specific points in the coming days on the email list. I would also like to point to Bobs WIKI (http://efgblade.cs.umb.edu/twiki/bin/edit/SDD/) where some discussions among us are going on.
