Hi Adrian and thanks for your reply,
I just chose a third party web site forum because it has a much better
graphics and layout than the current CCSDS mailing list which I find quite
poor and confusing:

Plus, the proboard forum will collect all postings from the entire CCSDS-SOIS
area; giving to each SOIS member complete visibility on other WGs posting.
There are also other minor options like: topic search engine, instant
messaging to an online member and realtime reports on who is currently online
that make the proboard forum more attractive.
I believe this is something that the CCSDS web site restructuring team should
take into account.

Regards

      this is to inform you that I 've set up a temporary SOIS forum where we
      and other registered Wg members 'might' post all our technical
      discussions in a clear and organized way. Of course, I say might
      because I first would like to know your opinion on the use of such a
      service. (probably there are some legitimacy issues I am not aware
      of...Adrian ?)

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 www.proboards.com rather than just using the existing CCSDS
mailing list at
sois-tcons at mailman.ccsds.org ? What extra services are provided by the
proboards forum that aren't available by using the archived CCSDS mailing
list?

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 http://www.ccsds.org/about/organization.html 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
ftp://ftp.estec.esa.nl/pub/ws/wsd/ccsds/ccsdsoif/index.htm, but it hasn't
been updated in more than 18-months.

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?

Best regards
