Subject: RE: Translation Web Services Update
Peter (and Andrzej),
I think we need to re-assess what we are doing. The basic issue I see is
that Kevin (and the LRC) were going to do a basic reference implementation;
now there seems to be considerable work to be done in finalising and
synchronising the spec and the schema which should probably be done by the
TC? I know that both issues are connected, for us it is just a point of
scope and work involved (for which we have only limited funds). I will try
to ring you today to discuss.

Hi Kevin and Peter,
First of all many thanks to Kevin for all his hard work - his contribution
is immeasurable in its value.
I had a suspicion that we would come across issues like this - as this is
the first reference implementation. I am at the moment extremely busy, so it
would be easier for me initially to deal with the issues as Kevin suggests
via email.
My recommendation is that Kevin updates the schemas as required as he is now
closest to the issues and knows best how to affect the required changes.
Best Regards,
AZ
