Public comments are a very important part of the OGF document approval process.  Through public comments, documents are given scrutiny by people with a wide range of expertise and interests. Ideally, a OGF document will be self-contained, relying only on the other documents and standards it cites to be clear and useful.  Public comments of any type are welcomed, from small editorial comments to broader comments about the scope or merit of the proposed document.  The simple act of reading a document and providing a public comment that you read it and found it suitable for publication is very useful, and provides valuable feedback to the document authors.

	SAGA API Extension: Message API	P-REC	A. Merzky	SAGA-WG	24 Oct, 2010	Make/View Comments
	Abstract: This document specifies a Message API extension to the Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA), a high level, application-oriented API for grid application development. This Message API is motivated by a number of use cases collected by the OGF SAGA Research Group in GFD.70, and by requirements derived from these use cases, as specified in GFD.71). The API provides a wide set of communication pattern, and targets widely distributed, loosely coupled, heterogeneous applications.
