MINUTES W3C I18n GEO Phone Conference 9 July 2003 Present: Richard (chair, scribe), Lloyd, Phil, Tex, Russ, Martin, Andrew Regrets/Absent: Steve, Suzanne, Peter, Barry, Leslie, John New Actions ============ ACTION RI, send out note requesting article for LRC's Localisation Focus magasine for people to consider contributing ACTION: Tex, to ping a couple of external list moderators to see if we should announce there too. ACTION: RI, ask Suzanne whether we can announce on her list. Prior Action Items ============== ACTION: AC, write up some text about byte order marks that could be used to develop section 2.2 ongoing ACTION: Lloyd, write up some code samples relating to date formats and link to them from the Q&A page at a later date ACTION: RI, look into a sponsor for ftf in Atlanta All: send in pointers to existing guidelines Meetings =========== Next FTF - Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 6th September 2003. One day. Meeting location: suggestions welcome ! Info share ============== Martin found it very helpful to use the Q&A on Multilingual Forms (and its code snippet) to explain something to a colleague. http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-forms-utf-8.html Framework ========== Richard spent all day today merging GEO and WAI DTDs. There is now only one DTD. WAI are also beginning to look at developing different document views, building off the views that GEO has. WAI had already done some work on the DTD to build in the latest version of XMLSpec, so we are already beginning to share development work in both directions. DTD documentation has been updated. It is linked from the lower right part of the http://www.w3.org/International/geo page. Outreach ======================= Topic: Article for LRC's Localisation Focus magasine ACTION RI, send out note requesting article for LRC's Localisation Focus magasine for people to consider contributing We discussed an idea that presents each of the members of the WG with a couple of paras about what we're interested in and what our motivations are, with a sidebar for info about the achievements of the group Topic: How to more widely publicise our Q&A work? AGREED: We will send an announcement to www-international each time we publish a new Q&A AGREED: We will set up an index page for Q&A's that solicits questions from readers, but makes no promises that we will develop answers. On the other hand, questions will be transferred to our question notepad http://www.w3.org/International/geo/upload/2003/questions/ - this should help us get some ideas about what people want to know. The index page should also invite people to participate in GEO and point to joining instructions. AGREED: We won't develop the Q&As on the www-international list. It's more manageable to deal with a small group for this. If we get a lot of feedback after publication we can revisit this. ACTION: Tex, to ping a couple of external list moderators to see if we should announce there too. ACTION: RI, ask Suzanne whether we can announce on her list. Q&A Review ========================= Phil's Q&A ----------------------- Agreed to publish this evening. Richard's build on Phil's Q&A ------------------------------------------- See point [6] at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Jul/0010.html Group thought this was a good candidate for a new Q&A Need to find a short title question Need to also break it up a little visually so it's not so intimidating, but the text is quite polished (some felt it would be ok as is) Some discussion about making this part of a separate thematic article, but decided to stick with Q&A for now - could use for other stuff too, later Add concerns related to user to last para Richard's new css vs markup for bidi Q&A -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-css-markup.html Agreed that this would be good to publish next week, since we don't have anything from Lloyd yet. Small edits suggested. Upcoming assignments ---------------------------------- Send to group (latest) Agree to publish Martin: DONE 25 June Richard: DONE 2 July Tex/Phil: DONE 9 July Richard: DONE 16 July [css vs markup for bidi] Lloyd: 11 Jul 23 July [see his 5 questions] Tex 21 Jul 31 July [what is bidi and which langs] Andrew 28 Jul 6 August Martin 4 aug 13 aug Richard 11 aug 20 aug [international vs multilingual sites] Tbd 18 aug Tbd 25 aug Tbd 1 sept Russ 8 sept 17 sept Note: We are likely to receive something from John Yunker We are likely to receive something from Yves Savourel Next meeting: ========== Same time, same bridge, next week. ============ Richard Ishida W3C tel: +44 1753 480 292 http://www.w3.org/International/ http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/
