    Proposed ordering of CIM groups remaining to be done.
                                            Rick Landau 20070411

    0. CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF

    1. CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    2. CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable
    3.5 CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable
    3.5 CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry
    (I don't understand how these two could be separated.)
    5. CIM_PrintDeviceCover - prtCoverTable

    6. CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    7. CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF

    8. CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable
    9. CIM_PrintConsoleLight - prtConsoleLightTable
    10. CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer - prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable
    11. CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable
    12. CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable

    13. CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable - last - depends on all other classes

    Rationale:

    - Must have: things that impede primary function (i.e., printing), that
    tell the user what's wrong.
    - Must have: things that warn the user that something is about to go
    wrong.
    (Out of paper, out of toner, jammed, cover open.)

    - Should have: info needed to configure spooler or driver.
    - Should have: accounting info, counters.

    - Nice to have: inventory and asset info, capabilities.
    - Nice to have: default values (if they're not writable, less
    important).
    - Nice to have: settings, such as channel enablements (if they're not
    writable, less important).

    Hi, Thursday (5 April 2007)

    *** Action: Send your ordered list of CIM MOF classes
    *** Due Date: End-of-day Wednesday 11 April 2007

    *** To: All PWG members
    *** Reply To: wims@pwg.org
    *** Note: Do NOT reply to pwg-announce@pwg.org

    Background: As a result of the slow CIM Core WG process, we urgently
    need to reach concensus on the ORDER in which we will model the tables
    from the Printer MIB (RFC 1759/3805) into CIM MOF classes, as described
    in Rick Landau's document posted in the directory:

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim

    in the file:

        td_PrintClassGroupings_v09_20070208.pdf

    Below is my own ordered list of CIM MOF classes:

    (0) CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF

    (1) CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    (2) CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    (3) CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF

    (4) CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable
    (5) CIM_PrintDeviceCover - prtCoverTable
    (6) CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable
    (7) CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry

    (8) CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable
    (9) CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable

    (10) CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable
    (11) CIM_PrintConsoleLight - prtConsoleLightTable
    (12) CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer - prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable

    (13) CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable - last - depends on all other classes

    At the WIMS-CIM telecon on Thursday 12 April we will determine concensus
    on the ordered list - Rick Landau and I will follow this concensus.

    Cheers,
    - Ira
