RE: Inquiring about potential joint publication of WG-NOTE on ruby and a11y [I18N-ACTION-1090]

Hi Janina,

I don’t know why, but your reply isn’t in my inbox-but it is in our mail archive.

I can’t make the 10 November time you propose-I’m cross booked with CSS and then with another meeting. Can you propose another date/time?

Thanks,

Addison




Hello Addison:



+APA ...



Yes, I think we would be interested in publishing a note jointly with

you. In fact the potential in the approach has only expanded given

recent conversations with Epub where there's a need to provide an

accessibility solution for interlinear publications. Ruby support was

cited there as a potential model to consider, and I took an action to

write up some possible approaches.

Our Pronunciation TF will not meet again until 1 December (for several

reasons), but I expect they would be receptive, as am I personally.



Might you be able to join our next APA call, which will be Wednesday 10

November at Noon Boston?





Best,



Janina

Subject: Inquiring about potential joint publication of WG-NOTE on ruby and a11y [I18N-ACTION-1090]

Hello APA,

During Internationalization’s TPAC meeting on Tuesday, 28 October [1], we had a discussion of a proposed Working Group Note about the interaction of Ruby annotation in Japanese (and perhaps other languages) with text-to-speech. This document would be based on (and primarily the work of) Murata Makoto, a member of our Japanese Layout Task Force. He has an early version at [2] and we are preparing a W3C repo to host a W3C-formatted version.

I drew an action item during our call to contact you about the possibility of jointly publishing this document. Would you be interested in pursuing this? Happy to discuss details.

Regards,

Addison
