Hi all,

  I believe that all the Architecture Chapter teams have uploaded their contribution to the docman system.   Thanks for your commitment and effort !!

  Now, I will start to integrate the different chapters into a single document and perform and overall review all the chapters while making the integration.   My plan is to finish this process by monday June 27, EOB.

  What can teams do in the meantime ?   My suggestion is that you work in the "Question Marks" section and give also a final review to the "terms and definitions" section if you had generated it in the last minute (I know it is the case for some teams :-)   These two sections can be easily replaced in the integrated document.

  Regarding the "Question Marks" section, I would suggest to structure it into a subsection titled "Security aspects" and a subsection titled "Other topics still under discussion".

 *   On "Security aspects": I suggest that you nominate one-two people in your team that work with the WP8 team to analyze contents of your chapter and identify Security questions.   Please contact Pascal Bisson (pascal.bisson at thalesgroup.com<mailto:pascal.bisson at thalesgroup.com>), leader of WP8, to coordinate with him how to carry out this task.   It is about identifying at least 3-5 issues, and describing each with one-two paragraphs.    You can download the contribution linked to the Data/Context Management chapter and check the "Security aspects" subsection where you may find some reference examples (particularly the one on Privacy Management)
 *   On "Other topics still under discussion": The idea is just formulate 3-5 topics for which discussion has not yet been finalized within the team.  Try to elaborate on the different alternatives you are considering/discussing with respect to the topic as well as any consideration that is relevant.  Each topic should be described similarly to how topics in the "Security aspects" subsection were described in the Data/Context Management chapter (again, the description of the Privacy Management issue is a good reference example).   It is up to the WPL how to organize this task.

  Regarding the "terms and definitions" section, there isn't anything special to remark.   But try to provide precise definitions.   Also try to make this section something that can "work" relatively standalone.

  I expect your contributions to both sections by Tuesday June 29, 19:00 CET.

  IN ADDITION: I know that some of you still wish to work on the content of sections linked to the overview and description of GEs.   How can you work in parallel to integration ?   I would suggest the following:

 *   In the placeholder under the contrib folder linked to your document you will always be able to find the last version of your chapter already integrated in the final document.
 *   Whenever I start to work with a given chapter, I will change its status to "pending" (this is one of the valid status -like "private"- you can assign to a document in the form linked to an entry in the Admin section of the docman system).   This will mean I have blocked it.    You will detect that your contribution is pending because you wouldn't be able to see it in the folders/document tree that is displayed when you click on "View Documentation".   You should then wait until I upload a new version (already integrated in the master document).   Of course, you may still be working on some changes but then you should implement them individually over the file that I will finally upload to the docman system (that file may have comments or even changes and, for sure, some fixes in formatting I don't want to loose, so it won't be as simple as replace the file with the one you were working on in parallel to me).   Whenever I upload a new version of the file, I will change its status to "private" and you will be able to see it in the folders/document tree.
 *   If a document is not "pending", this mean that you can download it and work on it.   But, PLEASE, whenever you plan to do so, please mark it also as "pending" before downloading, so that I can realize you will download it and start working on it.   You only have the right to keep a document "pending" from 09:00am to 19:00pm.   After 19:00 and until 09:00am the next day, I can change its status and replace the attached file without notice.   In the event I need that you release the document -changing its state to "private" again- before 19:00, I'll let you know.
 *   PLEASE, DON'T CREATE NEW ENTRIES: It should work with the already existing ones, changing the status and replacing the attached file when needed.

  I know that we would probably do it better using SVN but SVN got installed recently and many people don't have the time to get used to it.   Despite it took some time, all WPLs already know how to manage the docman, so we should keep using docman for this release of the deliverable.

  For a number of reasons, I won't be able to start integration until 19:00 today (it's holiday in Spain) so you will find that all the contributions to each chapter are marked as "private", therefore, not blocked.

  Let's work hard to finish the document !!

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo
