I guess I'm used to a mode of operation where people in the wg actually discuss the issues, and there is consensus to make changes or not.<br><br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 10:53 PM, Patrik Fältström <<a href="mailto:patrik@frobbit.se">patrik@frobbit.se</a>> wrote:<br>

I had a number of comments posted some time ago on each of the documents; to<br>
the best of my knowledge you didn't respond on them. It sounds like you want<br>
me (and others like me) to go back and review each new version to see which<br>
have been addressed and which haven't, and revise my comments accordingly.<br>
It would be more effective to respond on the list with commentary as to why<br>
you did or didn't incorporate responses to the comments made.<br>

That is not easy as not only you make comments on the document. What is changed in the document is what I as an editor see as consensus on this mailing list (and what reaches me privately in email, on the phone etc). Given the conclusions I draw from _all_ comments, I update the document accordingly.<br>
<br>
To then go back to each one of the people that have come with comments and write for each one of them exactly what part of their comments I think this or that on is something that take more time than what I think we have in the wg.<br>
<br>
It is much better if reviewers do exactly what you propose. That you have a list of issues, you for each new version of the document do a diff, and check not only what comments are taken care of (that you then remove from your list), what issues are still valid, and what new issues have arised. And then post to the list again.<br>
<br>
That makes my life much simpler, and makes the work in the wg easier and more smooth.<br><font color="#888888">
