Date: Tue, 19 Mar 91 13:07:42 EST From: Chris Weider <clw@merit.edu> > 2) Installation and Interoperability Guide: Ruth Lange, Russ Wright. Chris, I just wanted to clarify the scope of this document before we begin. As discussed in the DISI meeting on 3/11 at IETF, this working group will produce a FYI/RFC document that will list available implementations and objectively describe features but not give particular installation instructions as they can be obtained with the software itself. Russ and I envision writing something akin to the NOC Tools Catalogue (RFC 1147/FYI 2). Russ and I discussed the content of the document and came up with the following: - include both public domain and commercial, national and international implementations - list the following features using information supplied by the implementors or representing company: o hardware and software bases supported o resource requirements, e.g., disk space o acquisition method, e.g., ftp o completeness, i.e., voids in implementation with respect to both the 88 standard and the 88 OIW Implementation Agreement o interoperability o transport layers, e.g., TCP/IP ala RFC 1006 o user agents; list them and window systems they run under Russ and I are developing survey form to guide our information gathering efforts, and are defining the survey strategy (i.e., who to contact and how). We plan to begin soon, and encourage DISI members to send any comments regarding this proposed effort to disi@merit.edu. Thanks, Ruth
