Subject: [dix] So what went wrong?

My biased, personal, quick-shot-from-the-hip diagnosis (and I'd love 
to hear different views):

-- The problem was not made clear -- too much apple pie, too little 
slicing;
too much focus on individual requirements and not enough on the big 
picture.

-- The Web 2.0 use case (titled "blogosphere") was foreign to much of 
the audience.

-- There was no attempt made at a convincing case that existing stuff 
does not cut it on its own.

-- The organization of the BOF succumbed to early derailing attempts, 
so not enough of the substance was actually presented -- it was not 
possible to establish enough common ground for reasonable discussion.

-- The whole time, apart from the many interested spectators, there 
were two fractions:

1) people who think in terms of a different problem space, already 
know the solutions for that and somehow are confident that the (not 
very clear) problems at hand can be solved with these as well, and

2) people who think in term of the DIX problem space but were 
inhibited from talking about how their solutions have significantly 
different properties from the Enterprise ones.

In the end I felt like I sat in a BOF trying to sell SMTP to an X.400 
crowd (and yes, I'm old enough to have been there).

Gruesse, Carsten
