Re: Draft Standard Text, V02.1

[Christian Keil <c.keil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

what a piece of work ,o).

First of all some procedural ideas regarding your comments---perhaps 
they are obvious.

1) Change tracking
Since editing of the standard will ultimately probably be done by you 
(or at least a technical editor) change tracking has to be somewhat 
manual I think. Depending on your wishes several tools can offer some 
support. Out of my head:
- For multiple authors OpenOffice and LyX, which is an Office-esque 
frontend for LaTeX, offer change tracking with recording of the author.
- Depending on the size of your commits subversion commit comments
offer a possibility. This could be supported by setting up a trac 
(http://trac.edgewall.org/) or redmine (http://www.redmine.org/), which 
provide web access to the subversion repository (read only) with a 
graphical diff and display of commit messages---besides that they 
feature a wiki, milestones and the like, which could be of further 
interest for our purpose for example for tracking motions.

2) Traceability
This seems easy for motions that directly contain standard text. The 
mapping to the motion could be put in the standard draft like your 
current change tracking. The other way round could be put into the 
final, approved version of the motion on the website. Otherwise it
seems difficult and could probably be done via some tracking of motion
dependence?

I attach a marked up version of the document and a summary of the
comments.

Regards,
