MINUTES: I18N GEO TF telcon, 2004-10-20 at 16:00 UTC/GMT, 9am Seattle, 12noon Boston, 17:00 London, 18:00 Paris, 2am Melbourne Attendees: Deborah Cawkwell (BBC) (Scribe) Richard Ishida (W3C, Chair) Susan Miller (Boeing) AGENDA http://www.w3.org/International/2003/plan.html Info Share: RSS 1.0 for WS languages Localization World San Francisco: November 15-17, 2004 (http://www.localizationworld.com/LWSF2004/index.htm). RI giving introduction to W3C standards. I18N will re-charter for 3 working groups. - additional working group: ITS: International Tag Set Tests RI: been working on more tests which have arisen out of CSS 3 work. These regard whitespace & line breaking properties in Unicode. They have not yet been circulated. Also he has been slightly changing the way writing the tests are written; this is partly in response to MD's comments. RI will send email response to those comments. New Working Draft Published: Authoring Techniques for XHTML& HTML Internationalization: Specifying the language of content 1.0(http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20041015/). RI has received some response, none negative. The next step is to take it to Note status. Then we will start working on new document. The group should read the new WD carefully and feed back if necessary. Some changes were made in regard to language definitions (reduced from 3 to 2: text processing and primary language metadata; there is no longer a definition of document language metadata). Also, there are some cosmetic changes: RI has improved the way we do references; implemented links to tests. Additional tests received were a set of results from RR for IE Mac, but we didn't have time to add before doc published. We still need to look at Safari and base versions of browsers (action DC - include screenshots) . Discussions: FAQ review: How do you define localization, internationalization and globalization? How are these concepts related? (SM) http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-i18n.html Review particularly in regard to AP's comments: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-geo/2004Oct/0006.html SM to make changes, check with RI, then FAQ can be circulated. DC & RI to talk offline about tests. ACTIONS: RI/DC: talk offline re tests. RI: send FAQ list to SM. DC: Run Safari tests. DC: Run base UA tests.
