I've started to address them, subject of emails i wrote today. 16:21:33 ...i'm ready to implement changes from tom as soon as feedback from tom. 16:22:00 ...question is actually whether request from WG to publish new WD asap, compatible with tom not here. he planned to go somewhere beginning of jan? 16:22:10 guus: just today, tom is not available 16:22:44 ...wrt publication, once CR request is approved, we have to send out call for implementations. it would be wise to have link to updated primer in that call. ideally we'd like to have updated primer in a week. 16:22:59 antoine: if tom can read mail, it will be ok. all change can be dealt with in <1 day. 16:23:11 ralph: would group prefer to hold CR on reference until primer is updated? 16:23:25 ...it could take up to a week to get CR approval. 16:23:49 ...there will be a homepage item about the CR, so would be nice to also have link to primer. 16:23:58 ...if only matter of 3 days, prefer to publish together. 16:24:20 guus: middle of next week then. if you (antoine) are mainly incorporating tom's comments, tom would agree to publish. 16:24:44 antoine: i will implement everything still pending, prepare a draft, then will have something ready which implements every point discussed. 16:25:09 ACTION: antoine to prepare revised draft of SKOS Primer ready for decision to publish as WD 16:25:18 ralph: hold SKOS Reference until 13/14?
