Re: EPUB 3 Community Group teleconference: Thursday October 19 at 16:00 UTC

Jiminy - I think the Readium team is doing great work but I am hesitant to

plenty that we can cull from the work that they have done in order to start
the conversation though and I am looking forward to digging into it in
detail as we start documenting this.
