- Still need to render HTML for TM
- Some changes to TM TTL needed - how to handle versioning?
- Need a policy for resource versioning and how to handle updates
- Ege: TD TF has decided to make one change since the current TTL is not used anywhere (and cannot be really used). Any further update should be versioned
- Discovery
- Updated scripts to render HTML from corresponding TTL
- However need to make changes to the TTL... missing ranges, comments, etc.
- Also how to record change logs, URL policy
- Need to worry about versioning sooner rather than later
