>
>Dear W3C Internationalization Interest Group,
>
>W3C organized a workshop co-located with the 20th
>Unicode Conference last month in Washington DC,
>to discuss the future of the W3C Internationalization
>Activity.
>
>The minutes and results of the workshop are now published at
>http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop
>http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/minutes
>http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/consensus
>
>The plan now is to use the month of March for a concentrated effort
>to collect additional material. At the end of March, we will
>prepare the new charter(s) for the W3C Internationalization Activity
>based on the input we receive.
>
>The workshop identified five work streams of potential
>future work:
>
>- Guidelines, best practices
>- Distributed services (e.g. exchanging locale/collation info)
>- Education & Outreach
>- Localizability
>- Existing work (reviews, character model, liaisons)
>
>We would like to invite you to participate and contribute
>in helping shape the future of the W3C Internationalization
>Activity. For this, please join the www-i18n-workshop@w3.org
>mailing list, archived at
>http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-workshop/.

>mailto:www-i18n-workshop-request@w3.org?Subject=subscribe).
>
>The workshop was a very good start for planning the new activities,
>but more is needed. In particular, for each work stream,
>we need to get:
>
>- A more detailed list of work items (including priorities,
>   effort needed)
>
>- Information on business cases, use cases,... to justify
>   why W3C should do this work (e.g. how would this improve the Web?)
>
>- A list of experts and key players
>
>Please don't hesitate to send your ideas to www-i18n-workshop@w3.org.
>Please use prefixes (e.g. Guidelines, Distributed, Education,
>Localizability, Existing) in mail subjects.
>
>
>Looking forward to hearing from you soon,    Martin.
