  1. & the Early Copy-Editing Experiment September – October 2005 techspec BoF November 9, 2005 Alice Hagens

  2. The Process • Read through and mark. • Insert edits into xml. • Tag questions for authors and major revisions. • Use xml2rfc to generate text. • Use htmlwdiff to generate diff. • Email revised xml and diff to Bert, authors, WG chairs, and ADs. • Answer questions and read comments from authors.

  3. & the Early Copy-Editing Experiment * faster because in MIBs, we only edit DESCRIPTION clauses. ** slower because of (1) familiarizing myself with xml formatting of blank lines, i.e., where to insert vspace to get a blank line when using nested lists and (2) looking at diffs due to version submission confusion

  4. Remaining Measurements • Time & changes when doc comes into the queue • Issues not resolved in exchanges with author/editors during early copy-editing stage • AUTH48 progress
