Jon Bosak and Dan Connoly are demonstrating strong leadership qualities in this effort. The MID demonstration showed that is was possible to implement an SGML scripting application over a HyTime engine using SGML syntax. The MID can be a good sandbox for those interested in this topic. A MID list sponsored by DISA has been created. The MID documents are available as is the prototype created for the US Navy.
Source code is available on request.
This list remains the single thread that unites the SGML community. While it is an unmoderated newsgroup, it can still be the best medium for informing the community of how this recent work can be applied to our applications. If we do not use it, we have only ourselves to fault. We must learn to focus our threads around these issues and avoid thread drift. This is difficult, but doable.
