Dear Digital Publishing Task Force members, Welcome to the task force! I'm Deborah Kaplan, and I'm a support engineer at Safari Books Online. My co-leader is Charles LaPierre, who is a Senior Software Engineer at Benetech. Our goal in this task force is going to be the production of a few documents around the relationship of W3C and digital publishing. More about that later. We apologize for the slow start getting off the ground. Because of our time zone complexities as a team (which is a sign of how healthily international we are), Charles and I propose that we kick off our task force's work over email, rather than over a voice call. If anyone would feel better if we had a voice call, please speak up, and we will do our best to schedule one. While Charles and I get the framework for the task force's work up and running, we'd like to ask you to get a head start on understanding what we're going to be trying to do. The Mobile Accessibility Task Force has been very helpful in sharing their process. Although we will not be proceeding exactly as they have, much of the work we will do as a group will be inspired by their tasks and process. It would be very helpful if over the course of this week you could look through the work at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Main_Page You can get an idea of some of the documents they developed, for example http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Note:_WCAG_2.0_and_Mobile http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Subset_of_WCAG_2.0_Techniques_Applicable_to_Mobile_without_Changes_that_need_language_update http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Technique_Development_Assignments and many others,as well as their founding documents, especially the work statement: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/ Although we will not be re-creating their process identically, we will be doing similar enough work that it will be very useful if you all take a look at their documents. Thank you, Deborah Kaplan Safari Books Online Charles LaPierre Benetech
