Hi Paul and Harry,

The document (never reviewed at May PWG, due to change
of direction during CE Printing BOF) is at the link in
the original release note below, which is:

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/BOFs/ce/tb-cesjt10-20040510.htm

I still believe it applies well to the embedded/CE/mobile
environment.  

It avoids at least 90% of the overhead of XML encodings 
(you could write a parser in 20 lines of C, using a small 
symbol table).

[Harry has renamed it Micro Job Ticket, which is far more
descriptive - after all, what is 'Simple'?]

[This Micro Job Ticket could easily be extended for other
imaging services, like copy, transform, etc.]

Cheers,
- Ira

Hi folks,                                           Monday (10 May 2004)

[For review at the next PWG face-to-face meeting in Vancouver, BC,
during the Consumer Electronice BOF on Thursday (27 May 2004)]


Based on our discussions during the Consumer Electronics BOF at the PWG
face-to-face meeting in April 2004 in Washington, DC, I have just posted
an initial draft of a non-XML, string-encoded PWG Simple Job Ticket at:

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/BOFs/ce/tb-cesjt10-20040510.htm

Please read the SJT/1.0 example in Appendix D (see below) and the brief
ABNF in Appendix C before reading the body of this document.

Please send comments to the 'pwg at pwg.org' mailing list.

Cheers,
- Ira

[PS - Jerry - I cut and pasted the cover page style and boilerplate from
Harry's most recent PWG Process 2.0 draft - please point out any errors
- the boldface didn't cut and paste in titles such as 'About IEEE']

Harry,

In preparation for next week's meeting, can you please point me to the 
current micro-job ticket documentation?  I browsed the PWG ftp site but 
I guess I missed it.  Thanks in advance, and of course, looking forward 
to fully engaging with the PWG starting next week.

Regards,

-Paul
