Dear Colleagues,
Due to complications in software development, the Committee of Principals has determined that the full draft of RDA will be issued in PDF files. It will be available on November 17, 2008. We will provide the appropriate URL for accessing the full draft at this time. We will also provide an update on the software as soon as possible.

They could have released the draft as PDFs months ago and fiddled about with the unnecessarily complicated software while everyone was arguing over the standard itself.
Thank you for passing this on, anyway!

@Tom: I'm with you. It would have been nice to have the RDA drafts back in August.
@freemoth: I was going to print off the PDFs anyway, but it would have been fun and a better test to try RDA Online. Hopefully, it will be up and running soon.
