Andrew doing something for OCLC on language issues - can slip stuff into that AC can mail some lists with friends ACTION: RI, Send out general note about mailing lists for notification of FAQs Publication of articles http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2003Oct/0047.html [Q1] Should we limit contributions to the GEO group participants? For example, Kat Momoi wrote a very good article for DevEdge on IDN http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2003/idn/ - Need editorial guidelines - Need control and need to review - Everything has to be ok - Encourage them to join us [Q2] Where should articles be located? - for example, if we do include the articles of [RI] on the mockup page, prefer to do it as an automatically updated copy (that uses whatever style we decide on for our articles) and continue to serve my articles on my own site too. I don't think we should simply link to locations outside the W3C site. - issues - Source of info - Other sites may be transitory - other copy might change - Have copyright notice saying where first published and linking to other site [Q3] What level of review should be required for such articles. I believe the articles should be carefully reviewed by the group, just like FAQs or guidelines, so that we can claim that they are authoritative. We should not simply include stuff that people have written that 'contains some useful bits'. - Agreement [Q4] Should this be open to submissions from other parts of the i18n WG (eg. Core or WS), rather than just GEO contributors. My feeling is that yes it should be. Do we want to review that before publication though? - Agreement - We should ensure a user-friendly GEO tone is applied FAQs Reviewed Richard's for publication tomorrow and Phil's for next week Server-side stuff General feeling that we should generate more info about how things work on the server Encouraged DC to write questions to www-international Encourage group to generate info/FAQs etc on server side stuff ACTIONS ==================================== ACTION: RI, Send out general note about mailing lists for notification of FAQs ACTION: all, look for specific locations where we can advertise our stuff ACTION: Tex, look at Google's cache to see how that works vis a vis transcoding ACTION: RI, develop a style guide for FAQs and augment stylesheet (esp. use nowrap for keywords) Action: ac, write to public evangelist list about default charset declaration in Apache ACTION: Lloyd, write up some code samples relating to date formats and link to them from the Q&A page at a later date All: send in pointers to existing guidelines UPCOMING Q&A ASSIGNMENTS ------------------------------------------------------ Send to group Publish (latest) Richard 26 oct 30 oct tbd Phil 26 oct 6 nov setting encoding in tools Deborah/Tex 3 nov 13 nov utf-8 signature ============ Richard Ishida W3C contact info: http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ http://www.w3.org/International/ http://www.w3.org/International/geo/ W3C Internationalization FAQs http://www.w3.org/International/questions.html RSS feed: http://www.w3.org/International/questions.rss
