- Humanities and Arts WG (HARTS) session chaired by Janet Max.
-
- This HARTS session focused on the final review of the Internet-Draft,
- draft-ietf-harts-guide-01.txt, "Humanities and Arts: Sharing Center
- Stage on the Internet". The attendees reviewed each section of the
- document, and identified any gaps or omissions.
-
- Janet Max will update this draft, with the drop deadline of May 30.
- After that date, a new version will be posted as an updated I-D in the
- Internet-Drafts repository. The HARTS group will have a final review
- before the document is sent to the IESG for approval.
-
- The meeting of the HARTS working group was called to order with a very
- small attendance. The document on which we've been working is being
- obsoleted by books and periodicals as we speak, and we have decided to
- lower our expectations and get it to RFC while it can still have a
- useful life. Therefore, many of the more ambitious sections are being
- removed with hearty agreement from the group.
-
- We reviewed the document, currently Internet-Draft,
- draft-ietf-harts-guide-01.txt, "Humanities and Arts: Sharing Center
- Stage on the Internet", section by section, identifying items to be
- removed, items to be added, and volunteers. We also identified a few
- major unresolved issues, which follow.
-
- Issues which required resolution included where we could and could not
- mention trademarked names in the document, where and how to discuss
- viruses, what really goes in the "resources" section for this
- document, and what really belongs in the glossary, if anything.
-
- We agreed that we need some sort of glossary in this document. We
- will be adding to it many terms which are not found in standard
- dictionaries, due to their being very Internet specific, but it will
- be kept brief, and will include a pointer to the Internet Users
- Glossary document.
-
- We agreed not to use trade names except in section 4.3 where we list
- platforms and operating systems, such as Microsoft and Apple.
-
- We found that sections 2.4 and 2.6 were somewhat redundant, and will
- be moving the "sharing" part of 2.4 to 2.6 (reworded where necessary)
- and changing 2.4 to simply Collaborating, while adding more about
- networked projects.
-
- We found many typos which will be fixed but need not be mentioned
- here. Everyone is encouraged to send in any typos found anyway so
- that we don't miss any.
-
- Sepi has volunteered to add to sections 3.1.3 on Local Newsgroups,
- 3.2.1 on Webchat, and 3.2.3 on CUSEEME video-conferencing.
-
- For section 3.3.2 I will add an explanation of why Magellan's search
- hit numbers are so different from the others. (When you do a
- this+that search on Magellan, it looks for all instances of This AND
- all instances of That rather than the standard response of Only
- documents which contain both This AND That.)
-
- The part of Section 4 which describes a URL will be rolled into
- section 1.3 where we define URLs.
-
- The first two paragraphs of section 4.1 Getting Started, relate to
- creating content and therefore belong in Section 5 Creating Content.
- (We also need to have defined IETF prior to that section.) Also,
- references to specific magazines will be removed and generalized,
- and we will be adding an addendum providing a large listing of
- generally available magazines.
-
- In section 4.2, the IANA will be defined and its subsection delineated.
- In section 4.3, reference will be made to the section on viruses.
- In section 4.4, Scanners, Recorders, and Encoders will be moved to
- section 5.
-
- In section 5.2 we'll need to define and describe a Thumbnail, as well
- as discussing "grain" and "pixelation" as they apply to images.
-
- Section 5.6 Content Design Issues will focus on making your content
- more available to the masses with regard to # of pixels/colors, tool
- friendliness, and kid friendly content (which will also reference
- Section 6).
-
- Section 5.7 Publicizing Your Work will focus on advertizing on the net
- and refer to Sally's Ad-Netiquette doc.
-
- Section 6 Issues and Challanges needs to be written into something
- that is specifically vague with many loud suggestions that people seek
- more current help in this area. We will also reference all relevant
- IETF documents throughout the section.
-
- When the document is nearer to completion, we will find all words
- which are still not adequately defined where used in the document, and
- provide brief definitions in Section 7 Glossary, which will also point
- to the User's Glossary document.
-
- Before submitting to the RFC editor I will need to ensure that the
- information provided in the Appendices is not already obsolete, and
- that every instance of reference to the Internet is capitalized.
-
- Notice will be sent to the harts list requesting assistance on missing
- information with a deadline of May 31st, after which time I will be
- finishing the document for submission to the RFC editor for
- publication prior to the next meeting.
-
- Having concluded the mission of the charter of this group, the Harts
- working group will then close.
