Dean,
See in-line.
Benoit,
You describe the situation really well, but as next step we
have to get more organized and more coordination in modeling
work. We have to make sure that there is not too much overlap
between efforts, not too waste resources
... and inconsistencies between data models, which is my primary
concern.
Let's take one example: policies. I see policies in many YANG
models. How do we make sure the policie definitions are consistent
and extensible? How can we coordinate this (huge) effort? Who is in
charge? The collective responsibility might not be enough...
and as well create an architecture description document,
where the relationship between models will be described. With
that we can see which models can be reused as base model in
other models.
Good example of coordination is the rtg-coord-yang mailing
list, but we need one for all IETF, to be able to find what are
other the teams working on.
Right.
Regards, Benoit
We should not let this momentum go away and with few simple
steps (like improving coordination and system meta
architecture), continue to feed positive energy into this
situation.
