Rex and all
I met Renato Iannella a couple of weeks back, and we have had informal chats as to how to proceed with this project, and we are now exploring possibilities. Today he is inviting W3C members
to join this task, I ll pass this onto this list in case someone is interested in helping with this effort.
( come in please!)

Rex,
We have suggested to Sahana's project leads to set up tests for EDXL within Sahana, will let you know if something happens of it
(I am still not happy with the term 'disaster management' but I guess that's a formality that can be dealt with later?)
Cheers

Thanks Paola,
Testing is the intent. That's exactly what we want for the
specifications. Testing the Reference Information Model will be a bit
more challenging since its usefulness lies in being the source of
common abstract components for the EDXL family. As such it will always
be evolving, as will the individual specifications. We are well into
the first stages of collecting requirements for the next version of
CAP and EDXL-DE, though, to be honest, I really hope we keep bringing
in more fresh recruits, with more energy than some of us who are now
working on their fifth and sixth and seventh specifications seem able
to muster. I've got about two or three more specs left in my tank, and
then I will seriously need a break.
Cheers,
Rex
Well
I cant think of a better way of giving feedback on a standard
than trying it out
I was thinking some kind of user test
of course in addition on any other input that people may have off the
top of their heads

I can't speak for the TC, but getting this far was a big
hurdle, so I
don't want to make it seem like the TC is ready for further steps,
even if I personally happen to be in favor of such testing.
