Hi folks-- Hope you are enjoying post-Christmas reentry or more holiday time, or whatever the case may be. Maciej and I are working on publishing the new Recommendations, and due to that, I unearthed the permanent/symbolic link information that I promised to Justin; we thought it would be a good idea to document the processes here -- and in the GitHub readme... It seems to work pretty well for now given that there isn't that much to the entire publishing process for our WG or others, but if you see ways to improve it for the future, let us know. After completing a draft spec revision cycle and getting it approved: 1. Edit the draft-uma-core-vn_n[_n] and draft-oauth-resource-reg-vn_n[_n] sources to change from Status #3 to #4 (see below), leaving the previous date in place. 2. Run the stylesheet over the XML sources to produce .html outputs, review the results as required, sync GitHub, and upload the last drafts by FTP (Eve and Oliver can do this). 3. Save the draft-uma-core-vn_n[_n] and draft-oauth-resource-reg-vn_n[_n] sources off to new files in the repo starting with rec- instead. 4. Change the Status section of the new files from #4 to #5, the date, and any other metadata (some of this has to be done in the stylesheet, which is in the repo). 5. Update the two specs' References links to each other in the Reference section. 6. Run the stylesheet over the XML sources to produce HTML output with .html extensions, review the results as required, sync to GitHub, and FTP the HTML results to the website (Eve and Oliver can do this). 7. Get symbolic links created (see below) from the versioned rec- HTML links to generic links (Oliver can do this). After launching a new draft spec revision cycle: 1. Save the rec-uma-core-vn_n[_n] and rec-oauth-resource-reg-vn_n[_n] sources off to new files in the repo starting with draft- and having the agreed new version numbers instead. 2. Edit the Status section from #5 to #1. 3. Proceed to edit the new drafts, and periodically produce HTML results that can be uploaded through FTP. 4. Get symbolic links created from the versioned draft- HTML links to generic links (Oliver can do this). Here are the stages of the Status section (embed links throughout as appropriate): 1.
