New WG members
Roberto Scano & Pasquale Popolizio from Italy
<pasquale> hi all
hi pasquale
<pasquale> I'm sorry, Richard, but my phone carrier, in this period,
makes me unable to use Voip :-(
pasquale, will roberto attend these meetings or just you ?
<pasquale> just me
International Webmasters Association / HTML Writers
> Guild (IWA-HWG)
<pasquale> do you want a little presentation?
yes, please
<pasquale> I'm Pasquale Popolizio, IWA/HWG International Webmaster
Association Member.

<pasquale> I'm a Web accessibility consultant and a Semantic Web
researcher; I participate in W3C WAI Education & Outreach and W3C XG
Multimedia Semantics Incubator Groups.
<pasquale> I created and maintain the Italian resource about Sem
Web, Websemantico.org, where you can find articles and Italian
translation about Sem Web
<pasquale> [20]http://www.websemantico.org
[20] http://www.websemantico.org/
<pasquale> I also translated "Tutorial: Using language information
in XHTML, HTML and CSS"
<pasquale> ([21]
http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-lang/Overview.it.
html into Italian
[21] http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-lang/Overview.it.html
<pasquale> My desire: an accessible Web more Semantic, and a
Semantic Web more accessible.
<pasquale> I think GEO work is also about Web accessibility, so I
really think that I could help in this project.
<pasquale> I'm just reading and studying all the I18n documents ;-)
<pasquale> So in a couple of week I think I'm ready to help in a
better way ;-)
welcome aboard, Pasquale

<pasquale> me, for italian
Pasquale, would you be interested in helping get the other pages up
