[robocup-small] Schedule for SSL Rules 2008

[Tim Laue]

Hi RoboCuppers,

it is time to start working on the new rules. To make this in a 
structured way, the TC has prepared the following schedule:


Until September 15th: Community Discussion about Major Changes
--------------------------------------------------------------
The SSL community is asked to propose and discuss major rule changes for
2008 via the mailing list. In this context, "major" means everything
that strongly affects the construction of SSL robots or the environment,
e.g. increase field size, increase number of robots, disallow some kinds
of ball manipulation devices, ...
Those who had been at RoboCup 2007, might have read and discussed the 
possible future options for the SSL which had been presented on a 
poster. The content of this poster is now available at 
http://small-size.informatik.uni-bremen.de/sslroadmap and might serve as 
a base for this discussion.
We are looking forward to a broad and intensive discussion!

Until October 7th: TC Discussion about Major Changes
----------------------------------------------------
The TC will discuss and decide on the major changes for 2008,
considering the feedback from the SSL community.

issues are considered final.

Until November 1st: Discussion about Minor Changes
