Re: Proposed draft SUMO page

Title:
These are all good suggestions.  I am sending a new version of the web page to Matthew.  The first paragraph now reads

The SUMO is being developed under the auspices of the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology Working Group. The SUMO starter document was created at Teknowledge by Ian Niles and Adam Pease (the principal investigator), with a contribution by Chris Menzel. The SUMO began as a synthesis of a wide range of publicly available formal content (please see a partial history of versions), and this synthesis was guided by feedback from the SUO Working Group. Please see the primary paper. The SUMO starter document was approved as a work item by Motion 2 of the group

SUMO,
        There is no appeal in progress.  The motion passed.
 
        I agree with Matthew that the word sounds like SUMO was approved.    Suggest changing  'SUMO was passed by mtion.."  to " the SUMO starter document was approved as a work item by motion..."
 
        Suggest changing "SUMO was developed"  to "SUMO is being developed..."
 
        Suggest changing "the SUMO was created..."  to "the SUMO starter document was created..."

Dear Allan,
 
The SUMO has not been approved. The motion was to start work on the SUMO. It is even contentious whether that motion was passed as I understand there is an appeal in progress.

I propose the following change for the first paragraph of the SUMO home page

The SUMO was developed under the auspices of the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology Working Group. The SUMO was created at Teknowledge by Ian Niles and Adam Pease (the principal investigator), with a contribution by Chris Menzel. The SUMO began as a synthesis of a wide range of publicly available formal content (please see a partial history of versions), and this synthesis was guided by feedback from the SUO Working Group.
