Any chance that this WG restarts?
Valid question! Here's the status to the best of my knowledge:
- Abbie indicated that he won't be able to continue working on OPES at
the moment (although he might be back at a later point in time).
Martin took over the "SMTP Use Cases" draft and is currently
re-writing it based on comments from the last meeting. I would hope we
can have a "WG Last Call" within th next two weeks.
- Once the Use Cases draft is wrapped up, we'll have to start working
on the OCP/SMTP draft at full speed. We must have a reasonably first
draft before the Paris meeting - cut-off date is July 11. This leaves
us only 5 weeks or so... Martin indicated that he'd be willing to take
a lead on this work, too. Anyone else interested, please let Martin,
Tony, and me know. If we don't make good progress soon, I'd recommend
to close the WG.
- Alex provided an analyzis/thoughts on Sieve and "P", which received
a few comments. We cannot declare consensus on whether to extend sieve
or continue with "P" based on three emails. If there's no
enthusiasm/interest on this topic we should fold it. If someone has a
strong feeling on either sieve or "P" or something else, I suggest the
person to write an initial individual draft to get something going.
Otherwise, I suggest we remove this item from the charter.
Key problem, however, seems to be a lack of interest in actually
deploying OPES. Otherwise there would be more people willing to
actively work on it.
Thanks,
Markus
