RE: [all] text public announcement of last call

Related to posting the announcement.

 

I’ve noticed that there are several Web-LT members in the catmt Yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/catmt/?yguid=41785865)

Maybe someone could post the note there? (there are 744 members on that list, many are probably working in area related to ITS).

 

cheers,

FYI, here's the test i'm using to announce the last call request on the CNGL public mailing list in case you find that useful. I just slightly modified Felix's original text.

** Opportunity to Review Last Call of W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0 **
 
Recently the Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) 2.0 "last call" working 
draft was published by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium):
 
 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/> http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/
 
ITS 2.0 draft defines metadata ("data categories") to enhance the 
quality of content authoring, localization and language technologies for 
the creation of multilingual content. Applications and reference 
implementations being developed can be found at:
 
 <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Use_cases_-_high_level_summary> http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Use_cases_-_high_level_summary
 
The working draft is a "last call" draft, that is the W3C  
MultilingualWeb-LT working group (which is developing ITS 2.0) assumes 
that the draft is feature complete. From now on only explanatory 
material is supposed to change.
 
Now we are looking for your feedback: 

* Does ITS 2.0 fulfil your needs?
* Are the definitions of data categories technically sound? 
* Can you envisage easily implementing ITS 2.0 in your tools, application scenarios and business / customer cases? If not, what should be changed?
* Can we make the recommendation easier to read and more 'user-friendly'?

The "last call" period is open until 10 January 2013.
