Editor's Corner
Anticipated Updates
As of publication, the stewards plan to regularly update the SEBoK to correct errors, improve existing articles, add new articles, and respond to specific comments from the user community. The current plan is to issue occasional micro updates and two minor updates a year for the first two years, and then decide whether a larger more major revision is needed in the third year or whether additional micro and minor revisions are adequate. Micro updates will be identified by three digits - version 1.x.y. Version 1.0.1 was the first micro update. Minor updates will be versions 1.1, 1.2, etc., while the first major update will be version 2.0.
This version 1.1 is the first minor update. The next minor update is anticipated for fall of 2013.
Micro updates correct spelling errors and sentence grammar and make other very modest changes, and are not scheduled.
Minor updates will correct errors, continue to add content to existing articles including references published recently, and perhaps add articles to existing knowledge areas. Minor updates will not change the basic organization of the SEBoK. The editors may not respond to all comments posted in DISQUS for the minor updates.
Major updates will be unconstrained. All accumulated comments and suggestions will be adjudicated for the major updates, and the adjudication results will be posted for the community.
Updates are under the control of a Governing Board appointed by the stewards, who oversee the SEBoK Editor-in-Chief, Co-Editor-in-Chief, and an Editorial Board. The stewards contribute resources to manage the SEBoK wiki and to support its updates. Volunteer authors from the world-wide SE community contintue to propose new content and other volunteers review that new content.
Version 1.2
The editors plan to add new articles for version 1.2, including one on Systems Engineering Education for Part 5. The editors also plan to have implemented the process for updating references systematically, and will include references published since version 1.0 as appropriate to each article.
This version will also consider user-suggested content in the Sandbox, as well as comments made in Disqus.'
