Max: many thanks for taking the initiative in getting the SOIS
discussions moving. However, I don't quite understand why you chose to
use the third party web site
<a href="http://www.proboards.com/" eudora="autourl">www.proboards.com</a>
rather than just using the existing CCSDS mailing list at<br>
sois-tcons@mailman.ccsds.org ? What extra services are provided by the proboards forum that aren't available by using the archived CCSDS mailing list?<br><br>
On another subject, I have to say that I am really disappointed that the SOIS Area is almost totally invisible to the outside world. Other than if you go to <a href="http://www.ccsds.org/about/organization.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.ccsds.org/about/organization.html</a> and click the SOIS Area on the picture (which gives you Patrick's e-mail address) I cannot find a single document related to SOIS on the CCSDS website. If you Google "CCSDS SOIF" you find the old P1K website at <a href="ftp://ftp.estec.esa.nl/pub/ws/wsd/ccsds/ccsdsoif/index.htm" eudora="autourl">ftp://ftp.estec.esa.nl/pub/ws/wsd/ccsds/ccsdsoif/index.htm</a>, but it hasn't been updated in more than 18-months.<br><br>
The SOIS work is really important and needs to be very visible to the community. Would it be possible perhaps to resurrect the old CCSDS SOIF website and put some current information and documents on it?<br><br>
Best regards<br>
Adrian<br>
