Re: SDMX-HD feedback
Bob Jolliffe
I've finished going through the edits for now. (cc'ing to sdmx-hd
list so people are in touch with what is going on).
All of my latest effort is committed to
http://svn.sdmx-hd.org/sdmxhd/schematron-sdmx-hd which I believe is
available for anonymous checkout.
I have continued to add my resolution comments to the file
resolution_of_comments_public_review.html as its easy to maintain this
under version control. Feel free to transcribe these to whichever
medium you prefer.
The issues currently are identified as green (resolved), yellow-ish
(contentious), white (not really contentious - work in progress).
Note you will need the css in order to see the colours.
Regards
Bob

As you know I originally took your html file and created issue on the SDMX-HD website for each item.
It makes more sense to me to update the issues with the comments and change the status appropriately.
Each issues has an origin of "Forum" and category of "Community Feedback" as well as an original reference link
back to the forum item it related too.
Can you update the issues with your feedback as well?
