[iaufwg] FITS Registry - ready to go public?

[William Pence]

Dear IAU FITS Working Group Members,

I've now put together a web page for the "Registry of FITS Conventions" at 
http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_registry.html.  It contains a link to the 
"rules and procedures" page which we have previously discussed.  I've also 
entered the first convention in the "Under Review" section.  This is a short 
and simple convention of 4 keywords for describing the min and max values in 
table columns.

The layout of this web page can probably be improved, and will certainly 
evolve over time as more conventions get added, but I think the current page 
is sufficient to get started with.  Does anyone have any more suggestions 
(or objections) before we make this public?  If no one objects, I propose to 
  post a message on FITSBITS in about 2 weeks time, to announce the 
existence of the Registry and urge people to write up and submit conventions 
to it.  I'll also announce the start of the 4-week public comment period on 
this first convention (on the column min and max keywords).

regards,
Bill
