Hello, The W3C Advisory Committee received an advance notice today that a new charter [1] for the Digital Publishing Interest Group [2] is under development. The current Interest Group is contributing to this draft and it is intended to replace the current IG charter [3] (due to expire on 1 September). Since its launch in September 2013 the Interest Group has firmly established the presence of the Digital Publishing Community within W3C and, vice versa, the presence of W3C within the Digital Publishing Community. Work started by that group in the area of Accessibility, Layout & Styling, Pagination, and Content & Markup, is planned to be continued and completed under this new charter. The results of the earlier incarnation of this Interest Group will provide a strong basis for the work of the new Interest Group. In parallel, the group has also developed, together with experts of IDPF and with comments from the Publishing Industry, a long term vision for bringing Digital Publishing and the Web together. This vision has been described in a White Paper [4], and is referred to as "EPUB+WEB". That document also identifies a series of technical challenges on the Web that should be solved to turn this vision into reality. The deliverables of the newly chartered Interest Group include clarifying the technical challenges, specifying those items that require cooperation with other W3C activities to solve them, and (if necessary) drafting proposed charters for W3C Working Groups to standardize specific items. We would like to hear from a wide range of stakeholders to clarify the mission and scope for the new Interest Group, the target topics and industry priorities. Members and public are invited to send comments and suggestions for changes to the team contacts, or submit issues through the github issue list [5]. For more information, please contact Staff leads Ivan Herman <ivan@w3.org> or Ralph Swick <swick@w3.org>.
