Replacement of the OWL conversion script with a link
In January 2017 we removed the OWL conversion script from the International Edition package, and have since been publishing it alongside the International Edition in each Release.
However, as this script is now stable and self-maintaining (wrt release dates, etc) there should be no need to actually include the physical file anymore - instead we can streamline the release further by simply posting a link to the script in either the Release Notes or the Release wording in MLDS.
Please send your thoughts whenever you have chance (this is not an urgent request), and we will discuss and agree in the April TRAG meeting.
Thanks very much, and a very merry Christmas to all!

I agree with Mikael
In general I think that we should try to provide all kinds of software things in the same way, so the move from the release is a good move. (I assume that the inclusion of the script in the release has historical reasons, because there were not good ways of distributing anything except for inside the release.) In general it seems to be complicated to find which resources that are available, but that is a bigger problem than just the move of this script.
I assume that only people with a high knowledge in computer science is using the script, so I don’t think that the change would cause any problem. (At least this apply to those people that I know are using the script.)
