Purpose

Provide guidance to developers and implementers of the DEXs and their related components, but also to explain about PLCS and STEP.

Review checklist and issue management

The review checklist document for the PLCS Help and Information Pages serves both as a quick reference while developing or editing a new or existing page in the PLCS Help and Information Pages of DEXlib, as well as a checklist for page reviews.
The checklist (a MS Word document) can be accessed from; (..\..\docs\Checklists\Help_and_Info_Review_Checklist.doc).

Issuses identified during review shall be recorded in the Bugzilla bug tracking system. Further information can be found in the Infrastructure issues log section of the "Managing issues" page.

The lifecycle and status of a page

• Needs to set rules for editing pages
• Owner of page
• Change of ownership
• Previous editors trail
• How to edit a published page
• Rules for changing status

Possible statuses for a page are,

• suggested (no colour) - not linked into the hierarchy but exists as file waiting to be included
• in work (red) - owned by editor
• released for info (light green) - by the editor decided to be in condition to be used within the DEXlib development environment
• under review (yellow) - ready for, waiting for or undergoing review
• reviewed and released (dark green) - in condition to be included in a OASIS PLCS DEXlib publication
• deprecated (gray) - linked into the structure at a node named "killed pages", kept as a possible source of reuse

we need to different "released" statuses depending on if the page is of interest in the standard publication or not A "released for info" status can be set by the editor without a review, but if the page shall be apart of the publication package then it must undergo a TC review and achive status "reviewed and released". I liked that one...
