1. Tasks

Todo

T7. Discuss "Workspace" -

The problem was re-stated, a discussion ensued in email and it appears that
we have general agreement.

T11. Integration based use cases

We think that most build use cases are a variant of the K Shaw use case.
(see Use Case Discussion below)

Eric has updated the Wikki description of this based on our discussion. We
need to decide if we need more. Please review the Wikki.

T15.

Expand "primitive" use cases to include more detail (eg datatypes, method
signatures) Adam has entered some content. It was agreed that Adam and
Richard would divide up the work and continue this

T16.

Update Data model based on ALF meeting feedback. Brian committed to complete
the update this week

T17.

Create a schema from the data model. Since the data model is in visio this
may need to be done by hand. Tim committed to starting this, this week.

T18

SCM metadata difference report schema.

We agreed to defer this for now as it does not seem to be a critical use
case. We will re-visit it in the future.

For some use cases we have identified that some concept of "user" is
necessary to make machine readable report useful.

It is still unclear what the use case is for a more detailed machine
readable report and wha the priority for specifying this is. It is possible
that most of what we need will come from the schema types we might define
from the data model.

T19

Wikki pictures. There are some placeholders for pictures in the Wikki. These
need to be poulated. In particulare it would be good to get the updated data
model into the Wikki

T20 Add the notion of User to the concepts User is an important concept to
SCM since a primary function is to attribute changes to particular authors

2. Workspace discussion

It was agreed that we had general agreement on the workspace concept. The
basic notion is that it is a potentially seperable SCM service that may run
on the same machine as the consuming tool.

3. SCM Events

This item was not discussed in detail

4. Use cases

File Selection abd Version Selection were mentioned. To be discussed later

5. No other business was raised
