Work on the Z39.50 Interoperability Profile continues under the steer of the National Library of Canada's Carrol Lunau. We have agreed to work from the rapidly stabilising Texas Profile written by Bill Moen, and e-mails continue to fly back and forth, supplemented by the odd teleconference. There is a need to start disseminating existing knowledge to a wide community, with an obvious way to do this being through publication. There have been several, mainly European, approaches for various pieces of collaborative work. Some of these are now being discussed with a view to clarifying what would be done, and the benefits of this to Interoperability Focus and the community at large.
Efforts continue in approaching people and establishing useful contacts.
Approaches from the other side are, as always, welcomed.
