    Subject: Device Independent Workshops
    
    
    Dear All,
    
    Two W3C workshops are going to be held this coming Fall related to Web
    Device Independent Authoring.
    
    The first one, which is a joint WAP/W3C workshop, already has a Call
    for Participation available at
      http://www.w3.org/2000/06/w3cwap-workshop.html
      W3C/WAP Workshop on the Multimodal Web
      September 5-6, 2000, Hong Kong 
    
    It is in fact planned the week before the WAP Forum meeting, same
    location, and is going to be focused on WAP specific issues wrt. W3C
    technologies: WML2 and XHTML Basic, Common Dialog language with Voice,
    State management and XForms, CSS improvements, etc.
    
    
    The second workshop, not yet finalized, should be held beginning of
    October 2000 somewhere in Europe or US, and be more aligned with the
    original Device Independent Authoring workshop program (scheduled for
    June but not held) and still described at
      http://www.w3.org/WAI/2000/06/wapwaicfp.htm
      (that description will change soon)
    
    We want this second workshop to be broader in scope, with
    participation from more constituencies than just WAP : also TV, WAI,
    other mobile stakeholders (like Imode), etc. and so we've decided to
    decouple it from the WAP Forum meeting in Hong Kong.
    
    Please consider registering for the first workshop in Hong Kong and
    stay tuned for more information on the second workshop.
