CaveXML status

Dear All,

I owe you an apology and an explanation in view of my lack of attention to the CaveXML project of late, and an outline of where to from here.

So firstly, I do apologize for my lack of action. It does not indicate a lessening of interest in the project, or in carrying it through to completion - the problem has been my lack of time for cave-related matters after attending to the demands of must-do activities related to restructuring my life and finances after retiring from the paid workforce, combined with a few longish trips away. Hopefully this "distraction" is soon nearing its end.

So, where to from here?

• As there have been no objections to the last draft definitions I circulated (Reduced and Adjusted data, 17-Apr-03), I will assume that they are good enough for now. That completes the current "non-entity" definitions which we will need when discussing the entities we need to handle.
• In about 6 weeks or so, after I return from the next trip, I expect to be able to start bringing the web pages up to date to reflect our current progress and agreed definitions, and at the same time, implement some web page improvements suggested to me by Richard some time ago.
• Then, in the light of the work done since we first set our task list, I will be proposing some rearrangements to help us get some results quicker.
