for the moment, but the intention is not to be secrett, it's just that
we are trying to get to the following situation:
a) have a "release 0.9" of the specs up on the web, good enough and
stable enough for everyone with work with, criticise etc
b) get the change control process documented and published
c) have a change request system in place
As some people have suggested, sourceforge does some of this kind of
thing, so it may well be used for some software projects. openEHR is a
bit unusual in managing specifications as well...

sounds great. THe change management plan includes these kind of ideas -
it's also what I did in a former life. Comments and suggestions will be
welcome - we are not trying to set somethign in stone, just write a good
enough first draft that sensible conversation can then take place.
