Synopsis:

Yes, the intention of the publicly-accessible CIMwiki is to create a wikipedia for the CIM.

The intention of the user (only) accessible DraftStdsWiki was to wikify the draft standards (that only CIMug members have access rights to per our liaison with the IEC).

Keeping the public and private parts separate is the goal. If we could use one wiki for both with access restrictions (login required) on the few draft standard pages, that could be a solution.

On a related note, I would hope that only logged-in CIMug members could modify the pages.

Subject: Using this wiki for draft standards

I'm going to need to work this out in some more detail to catch up with you.

We created both CIMwiki (above) and the draft standards wiki (click here). I am assuming that these serve separate - but related - purposes? Where CIMwiki would be designed to be informative - much like wikipedia - all about CIM.

But what is your purpose for the DraftStdsWiki?

Is it targeted somewhat differently?
I.e. are you suggesting that WG members actually would make changes, or that CIMug members might actually add comments or questions?
Is it only to display a current version of the draft standard, with links to relevant info?

I see your comment and agree:

I think the biggest value to the CIMug membership will be reading the standards and being able to drill down into explanatory text (on the publicly-available wiki).

Just need to get further into the details...
