Rolf: I have to disagree. When I apply updates, I will apply them to the current version of the files. It makes much more sense to write tickets in terms of the most recent golden copy since that is what will be modified. I do agree that existing tickets should be left as they stand. I also strongly agree that any ticket should clearly reference whatever version it is based on. Bronis On Fri, 7 Jan 2011, Rolf Rabenseifner wrote:
My opinion:
As far as possible, references should be done based on the latest official standard, i.e., currently MPI-2.2.
Only in the case that one wants to modify modified or new text in MPI-3.0 draft 1, one should make references related to this draft.
Best practice is, to always mention the base, e.g.,
MPI-2.2, page 45 line 3-7 reads
....
but should read
....
Most opened tickets are besed on MPI-2.2 and should not be modified because this would only enlarge the risk that incorrect page or line numbers are used.

Now that we have a 3.0 draft posted publicly, which document should be referenced when creating tickets? Should tickets still reference page and line numbers from the 2.2 standard, or should they instead reference the 3.0 draft 1 document?
As we create new drafts, will in-progress tickets need to be updated to reference the latest released draft?
Lastly, I think it would be much nicer to have the 3.0 draft available from the MPI Documents section of the website, rather than under the meetings information section (which incidentally includes "for 2010" in the link on the main forum page.)
