ADASS discussions

[Guy Rixon]

Hi folks,

we need to set an agenda for the discussion at the meeting following ADASS.
Suggestions are welcomed.

My own feeling is that we aren't yet in a position to be drafting actual IVOA
standards about web-service usage.  Rather, we could use the run-up to the
meeting and the session at the meeting itself to define crisply the areas were
we actually need standards.  I.e., we would be planning documents to be
debated at the _next_ meeting.  Your opinion?

I would also like to see a little more debate about how OGSI, OGSA and grid
services fit into the IVOA architecture.  In particular, can we accept OGSI
services as a critical part of the architecture or is OGSI too new, too raw,
or just too wierd to live?

Finally I'd like to make, and to show at the meeting, head counts of which
groups use which toolkits, languages, service containers etc for web services.
Please reply to this list if you'd like to be counted.

Cheers,
Guy
