Since the cdr-discuss mailing list is only a few days old, and on
request by the author, we have prolonged the initial period before
finalization of CDR 2 "A generic hash table interface specification
for Common Lisp" by Ingvar Mattsson until January 15, 2007. Ingvar
Mattsson welcomes discussions about this CDR at cdr-discuss to which
he is subscribed himself. Please mention CDR 2 in the subject line in
your postings about this CDR.

Hello everybody,
Based on the constructive feedback we have got on the CDR process so
far, we have made some changes to CDR as follows.
+ First, due to the fact that the CDR process has been described as
CDR 0 which has already been finalized, strictly speaking we aren't
allowed to make changes to CDR anymore. We have solved this by
resubmitting the CDR process itself as CDR 4. You can find the new
version at http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/4/ together with the
changes compared to CDR 0 (which are also described below).
Since we expect more suggestions for improvement in the near future,
we use an exceptionally long initial period for CDR 4 until November
1, 2007. This allows us to make changes as we go along. At the same
time, the CDR process in use will already be CDR 4. This means that
the CDR process for submitted CDRs until then will be somewhat
unstable, but we think that this gives us the advantage of being able
to experiment a little such that the final result will hopefully be a
better tested process.
Consider this equivalent to the bootstrapping of a metacircular
software architecture, or to the development of any new piece of
software for that matter, where you have to test and change things as
you go as well. ;)
+ We have added more details about submission of accompanying
material, especially with regard to licenses that give us the right
to publish it at the CDR website and related publications. We forgot
about this issue in CDR 0.
+ We have added a section where we ask authors and submitters to
provide rationales for changes they have made during the initial
period. From now on, we also intend to add archives of previous
versions of a CDR for better traceability of such changes.
+ We have added a mailing list cdr-discuss - see http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cdr-discuss for the mailing list
page. This mailing list is supposed to be used for discussions about
specific CDRs. This is especially useful when CDRs are in their
initial period, but may also be useful afterwards. The already
existing cdr-devel is purely for discussions about issues related to
CDR itself (that go beyond the scope of what is described in CDR 0
and CDR 4).
We hope that these changes address the suggestions we have got so far.
Best,
Pascal
