Re: FYI: "Test the Web Forward"

Robin,

Thanks!

one minor (or not?) technical issue that came up at a discussion in Frankfurt is the 'driving' of the tests. I have not looked at the test suite right now, but I presume the tests are aimed at being run from a browser directly. That is of course fine for magazine and journal publishers, for example. But for book publishers (ie, readers) it may be a bit more complicated insofar as the natural 'environment' is an ebook reader rather than a browser, ie, what they consume is a book and not an html page. I am not sure what the smoothest way of interfacing the test suite would be then...

Something to discuss...

Another that we can think of would be to have a "themed" TestTWF event dedicated to the specific interoperability issues in digital publishing, trying to help work a way forward.

You don't just meet the people who have the tool chains and know how to paper over interoperability issues, you meet the smaller shops, often freelancers, who have to face those problems on their own. It's a very refreshing perspective.
