[ANSI-Smalltalk] Next up

[Bruce Badger]

The next thing we need to do is get the project proposal in so we can
establish the committee under the auspices of INCITS.  I've sent in a
few questions to INCITS for example asking about how many people are
needed to sponsor the project.  Once I have the basics sorted out I'll
post a draft of the proposal here so we'll have something concrete to
discuss.

In the meantime we can get cracking, I reckon.

One think I would like to propose is that we embark on this on the
basis that this will be an on-going process delivering a version of
the standard every 18 months or two years.  I think we should time-box
each version and simply leave out things that miss the deadline rather
than hold up a version because of some thing we can get to an agreed
position on.

Then I think we can start talking about priorities.  What should we be
tackling and in what order?  My suggestion here is that we take Sport
as a guide since that exists to paper over cracks - and we should aim
to seal up the most obvious cracks first.  Specifically I'd suggest
Association, Sockets and Files as being at the top of the list.

And .... they're off!  :-)

All the best,
    Bruce
