Thanks everyone for a productive first meeting. Charles will be posting a link to the audio recording and text transcription for those that missed the meeting.

Here is a summary with action items at the end (there are two directed to EVERYONE)

Main discussion points:
Group will use a model of developing a smaller Core spec and have other specs that add features to the core

Name is MathML 4, not 3.x; we will use versions as opposed to a "living spec"

We will drop XHTML and PDF versions of spec. There will be HTML chapters spec and full HTML5 spec

In the spec text, there will be no MathML
  The examples will be templates/diagram with boxes (as was done with mpadded) to show concepts, measurements
  Need to create a test (web platform test) for each feature

Maybe a end user version with rendered examples and a lot less text

Core spec subgroup: Neil, Murray, David C, Bruce, Fred, Moritz, Patrick
  Will have some teleconferences to hash out details of what goes in the core
  Issues will go into github

Didn't get to "semantics" on this call (George mentioned the need to be able to distinguish between Chem formulas and math)

Action Items:
Neil -- write some intro to group on github page
     -- figure out what public-mathml4-contrib is about

David -- drop XHTML and PDF versions of the spec
David -- change names in document as per this meeting

Everyone -- make sure you have a github account
Everyone -- opt in to see github issues if you want to be involved in any discussions
  Go to github page you are interested in (e.g., https://github.com/w3c/mathml/issues), click on "Watch" button at top, and choose "Watching" if deserired. Otherwise, you will only be notified when mentioned or if you created or participated in an issue.

Next meeting:
Feb 26, same time (8am Pacific, 11am Eastern, 5pm CET)
Probable agenda topics will include
  update on core spec
  "semantics" and at least speech rendering
