Let's talk about the near- and not-so-near-term future of SRW. I suggest we consider a meeting in August. One agenda item could be to finalize 1.1 (which is supposed to be ready 6-9 month after 1.0, which was end-of-November; 9 months would be August). We may be able to do that without a meeting, or maybe not; the meeting I have in mind would be larger in scope (but could include finalizing 1.1 if we need a meeting to do that). Some of us are looking at a possible larger (open) meeting sometime around October, and the August meeting would be preliminary to that. Let's call the October meeting a ZIG meeting for the sake of this discussion. (It would be a reformulation of the ZIG, with a new name, and that's about all I'm prepared to say on that, at this point.) There is some ZIG business on the table and that would be part of the agenda, as there hasn't been a ZIG meeting since April 2002. I expect we would also begin to look critically at migrating some of the Z39.50 functionality towards SRW or into other new web services. And we want to determine the metasearch requirements so that we can accomodate them in Z39.50 or SRW (or new services). The August meeting would be a small (closed) group, 2 days -- day 1 SRW implementors only, day 2 to add a few of the metasearch players -- database aggregators, content providers, providers of protocol applications (e.g. OAI). Day 1 we would spend some time formulating issues to take up with the metasearch folks on day 2. We need to have 1.1 in place, along with implementations or demos, in order to establish credibility with the metasearch folks. I'm going to begin to bring the implementor page up-to-date, and ask people to provide links to servers, demos, etc. Should we add a separate page for SRW servers? (And SRU servers?) With Z39.50, there is an implementor page and a separate server page. Please post your thoughts on all of this. (There's been recent talk about opening up this list, and I'm planning to do it, but I'll wait awhile, until we can get some of this discussion out of the way.) --Ray
