    Hi,
     
    To refresh your memory, Paul Danbold (Apple) was going to poll
    printer vendors about their interest in Micro Job Ticket interfaces,
    so we should probably have a status and next steps topic anyway.
     
    Paul Danbold - are you planning to come to Lexington next month?
     
    I agree we should move further on Transform. I think we're partly
    tied up in the "SOAP or not-SOAP" topic of WIMS. The abstract
    Transform interface doesn't need to restrict bindings.
     
    But to be useful, some explicit Transform binding is necessary.
    I personally favor a "direct XML" binding over HTTP, just like IPP
    uses a "direct binary" binding over HTTP.
     
    Cheers,
    - Ira

    I'd like to see if we can make some progress on formation and direction of
    TFM. If MJT is stable we don't need to have that meeting.

    PWG> Need a schedule for Lexington (4-6 October)

            

    Hi,

    On the PWG web site, the current 2004 schedule says:

    October 4-8: Lexington, KY
    4: MJT / TFM
    5: WIMS
    6: Plenary / Semantic Model
    7: P2600
    8: P2600

    Are we meeting on Micro Job Ticket and/or Transform (TFM)?

    The updated MJT (with changes from Montreal) is at:

     ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/BOFs/mjt/tb-mjt10-20040824.htm

    I have not updated the TFM slides or spec for the minor
    comments from Montreal. Should we meet again on TFM and
    plan next steps?

    Cheers,
    - Ira
