Info Share
========
Russ and Lloyd thought this would be a useful add to the mtg.  The idea
is that people can contribute news or informative titbits about events,
developments, etc that affect our work.  It is information share only -
if processing is needed we should add an agenda item - although of
course clarification questions are allowed.

This week's info:
-	Martin & Richard to speak at W3C track of WWW2003 in Budapest in
May, outlining progress on activities of the i18n Activity
-	Article by Martin on I18N Activity appeared recently in MLC
-	Richard may be speaking at LISA in London?  Needs to discuss
with Mike Anobile.


Review of recent activity
===================

Framework Document [http://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-guide-framework/] was
published to the TR page [http://www.w3.org/TR/].  Some helpful
editorial comments received from Andrea Vine.
	


Q&A Review
=========================

We reviewed the suggested Q&A items in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Apr/0020.html

Do we need to ask permission to point to other people's pages?  DECIDED
we should probably seek endorsement before use.  We should also be
careful to avoid potential bias when pointing to commercial pages.  Note
that Dr International usually asks first, and finds it useful because
they are often warned of pending changes.

We agreed that there might be multiple answers for some questions.

We should probably briefly describe where the reader is going before
they click on a link to an answer.  For example, we may say something
like: "for a general view see xxx, for apache servers see more detailed
information yyy"

We should distinguish between links to stuff generated by the W3C and
other stuff, but not on the grounds of 'authoritativeness' - let the
user decide what is authoritative.  For example, even if we write stuff
ourselves about apache servers, the only really authority here is the
Apache people.  Icons would probably be a good way to make the
distinction.

It was suggested that we could open a new window for non W3C written
stuff.

We reviewed each of the proposed questions in the mailnote and agreed
that they were all good candidates.

ACTION: Lloyd, prepare a Q&A pair for review on 19 May.

 

Next meeting:
==========
Same time, same bridge, next week.
