I will make the last revisions of the standardization proposals (together with the corresponding LaTeX files) I was editing in the Prolog standardization forums (http://prolog.logtalk.org/) as soon as I finnish pending editions. Given my current teaching duties and research work, this will probably have to wait for the end of the current semester (February 2010).

Do you want to say that until February 2010 you will not send the latex sources to the editor?
Since December 2008 we are waiting that the resolutions are included into the documents. In the meantime we had even a further meeting, but no new documents.

Most likely, although it's a very pessimistic deadline. My current priorities are: preparing and teaching 18 hours of classes per week for the entire semester, revising papers for conferences and writing my own papers; developing Logtalk in the few spare moments I have, and moving to and enjoying my new home in the company of my girlfriend, my family, and my friends. Finishing pending editions in standardization proposals is not a priority. Moreover, we're talking about the *LaTeX sources*, not the actual proposals, which are and always have been available in PDF format in the Prolog standardization forums. The LaTeX sources are my property, written from scratch by me, not the property of anyone else. I will dispose of them as I see fit and in my own timing.

As I cleared stated in my blog post, I failed the deadline for incorporating the resolutions made at the Udine meeting concerning the DCGs proposal. This is, btw, one of the reasons I'm stepping down as an editor. After all, standardization work should not stop because some editor doing volunteer work is unable to meet a deadline. But in the meantime, if you're looking for something to do, I suggest you look to the POSI and Threads proposals. They summarize hard work that me and others have been done but that are never discussed in any WG17 meeting.

Hi Paulo, sorry to hear that, but your decision is understandable. Thanks for all the hard work you have put in over the last years. I hope you will continue running your standardisation web site!
