W3C Most important priorities task force

Thanks for signing up to the subject task force.

I sent this email to everyone individually, but you are all encouraged 
to subscribe to the task force mailing list.

We'll get started with a one hour phone call next week.  Maria, can I 
ask you to poll the participants for the best date.  Seeing that we have 
three people from Europe, six from North America and one from Asia it 
will be challenging.  In my experience, the best balance is usually in 
the 9-11 time slot, but we may need to expand the search.

Please familiarize yourself with the task force wiki [1].  We will first 
determine how to go about our work.  The wiki proposes up to 5 efforts: 
core, vertical, developers, end-users, and geographic. Based on interest 
and bandwidth we may do more or fewer of these. It is possible that we 
will conclude (for example) that the fifth topic is now subsumed by the 
AB's latest task force on multilingual W3C [2].

After we determine how many efforts we will have we need to determine 
how to go about doing the work.  Should we have weekly calls or work 
mostly on the mailing list and wiki?  Should we have separate calls for 
the different efforts or a single call for everything.  Do we want to 
start with discussion, or should we ask people to bring in proposals 
(which could result, for example, in people providing input such as [3] 
as a framework for core)?
