[CESG] CCSDS Technical Editor Tracking System – Visibility & Next Steps

[Tomaso.deCola at dlr.de]

Dear Brian,

 

While trying to use the new way for triggering the process of agency review
or publication, I've noticed that in my view I don't have the "add new item"
button. I don't know if this is because I'm accessing cwe via web interface
or I don't have the necessary credentials. Below the snapshot of what I see
in my cwe:

 

 

Thank you for the help,

 

Tomaso

Steps

 

Dear CESG,

The Secretariat has been using the Technical Editor Queue (tracking system)
for some time. This SharePoint-based tool is available within the Management
Framework of the CCSDS CWE:

*	Management Framework Homepage:
https://spacecomm.sharepoint.com/sites/FM
*	Technical Editor Tracking System (Open Items):
https://spacecomm.sharepoint.com/sites/FM/Lists/TechEd/AllItems.aspx?viewid=
0f219c76%2Dc127%2D4737%2D952e%2Df4fad459c616

This system provides a level of transparency that was previously
unavailable. It enables visibility into:

*	The status of books submitted for processing
*	Assignment to Technical Editors
*	Progress through each stage of the process

As you are aware, a backlog developed over the past year. This tool has
significantly improved the Secretariat's ability to prioritize work and
monitor progress effectively.

To date, all requests have been entered manually, as submissions originate
from a mix of emails and formal resolutions. While this approach is
currently workable, our goal is to transition to direct CESG use of the
system for submitting book processing requests. This will streamline
operations by reducing reliance on help desk tickets, resolution generation,
and fragmented email chains.

The system continues to evolve and should be considered a Version 1.0
capability, with enhancements planned.

I will be attending the CESG meeting in Puerto Rico this spring and would
welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. In the meantime, I
encourage CESG members to begin using the system to both submit requests and
monitor status.

For those interested in getting started, a step-by-step guide is available
here:

*	Submit a New Book Directions:

I recognize this may generate questions or feedback-please feel free to
share them, and I will ensure they are addressed.

Thank you,
