Tomorrow's meeting

Tomorrow I'm at a conference in Delft, but I will attempt to sneak out for 
the call, assuming I can find somewhere suitable to sit. If I am next in 
line to be scribe, I would ask that I be excused. Maybe we should be 
thinking about extending the list of scribes as well.


Wednesday is the final presentation of my students on their implementation, 
so I will report on that.


I will have an update on my implementation, which is about experimenting 
with improving parsing error messages (up to now I've only been reporting 
on acceptable characters, but not their context):
<fail ixml:state="failed" xmlns:ixml="http://invisiblexml.org/NS">
   **** Parsing failed at line 2, position 8
   thena:=$0
          ^
   **** Character: "$" (#24).
   **** Permitted at this position: 
     statement>simple>assignment>s>-[" "; #a; #d]*: [" "; #a; #d]
     assignment>expression>term>product>operand>id>[L]+: [L]
     assignment>expression>term>product>operand>number>["0"-"9"]+: 
["0"-"9"]
     statement>simple>assignment>expression>term>product>operand: "("
</fail>
