http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmMeetings20120314

Working Group and Community Updates
      VincentPhan? joining the CM workgroup from ClearQuest development.
      Kartik: W3C Community Groups Update - Pilot put on hold indefinitely
      due to legal obstacles. CM working group will remain on current
      infrastructure.
      SteveSpeicher: Looking at alternatives for link labels.
      SteveSpeicher: Should we revisit property mapping spreadsheet of
      various CM tools? Will discuss via email and queue for a future
      meeting.


State Transitions Review
      RobertElves added states of a task to ScenariosMylyn.
      Open Issue: Do we need to define qualifiers on some actions like
      resolve or mark duplicate?
      Open Issue: What to do with intermediate states on transitions.
      RobertElves: Are we only exposing standard actions or can providers
      expose additional actions in the resource?
      SteveSpeicher: Current intent is to expose a set of standard actions
      and allow providers to expose additional actions.
      SamPadgett: What resource do you get back when performing a GET on an
      action URI? An Action resource with a title, shape, and possibly
      other properties?
      VincentPhan? : For ClearQuest, it will be difficult to provide a
      shape since we don't know what the shape should look like until we
      begin the action.
      SamitMehta asked if we can add additional information to error
      responses about what fields failed validation on state transition
      errors.
      SamPadgett: Delegated approach as fallback when headless state
      transition fails?
      SamitMehta: We should understand from Robert and Sofia what
      limitations the delegated approach has for IDE scenarios.
