[Oslc-communications] Why should you care about OSLC

[Steve K Speicher]

Good work, here is some of my feedback...

The focus on "Tool" feels fairly ALM focused (though see it applies to 
PLM).  I think that OSLC domains span various domains that the term "Tool" 
may not resonate.  Perhaps it would be best to say "Product" instead?  For 
example, for typical ISM and DevOps environments....would this accurately 
reflect them?  For DevOps perhaps.  When I want to deploy a performance 
monitoring solution, would this be a "tool"?

Tool Vendor:
Perhaps it would be good to add:
- be able to focus on core competencies and augment/compliment with 
solutions that connect via open standards-based interfaces

Tool User:
Without loosely coupled integrations end users are forced to stay on 
back-levels of products to ensure API mismatches don't break brittle 
integrations, they therefore can't get the value out of new release 
features and improvements until much later.
(I have seen this many times, end users are stuck on very old releases and 
gives the products a bad image even though most of the issues have been 
resolved in newer releases)

Thanks,
Steve Speicher
