doc.: IEEE /0999r0 Report F Early Documentation Project There is a continuing interest in being able to access early submissions. The submissions on the server are not necessarily accessible: –Some submissions were never uploaded –Some submissions are in word processor formats that are no longer generally available. Vic Hayes, former chair, has a large paper archive of early submissions. He has obtained funding and has scanned this archive. WG chair has these. September 2014 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 24

doc.: IEEE /0999r0 Report F Early Documentation - continued The IEEE-SA has employed an intern on a part-time basis to work on making the documentation accessible. The tasks involve –Merging, splitting and renaming the scanned pdf files –Checking that nothing is missing from the scans. –Updating a database of document numbers, revisions and files. It is hoped that the work will be completed this year. September 2014 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 25
