Re: Minutes from W3C Publishing SC Meeting 4/4/17

So great to see you popping up from time to time!  We all miss you!

Epubchek came up only in the context of getting the community group started, and it’s one of the items that we all believe lives there.

Subject: Minutes from W3C Publishing SC Meeting 4/4/17

- Present:
     - Rick, Cristina, Garth, George, Graham, Liisa, BillK

- Known Regrets:
     - Paul, Ivan, Karen


-  Resolution of Hachette board/steering committee seat
     - George has been trying to reach Pierre and has not been successful
     - Hachette has discussed internally and is recommending Luc Audrain (LAUDRAIN@hachette-livre.fr<mailto:LAUDRAIN@hachette-livre.fr>)  to sit in while Pierre is away
     - George puts forward a motion and BillK seconds
     - Unanimous vote to recommend that Luc take Pierre’s seat until Pierre can come back or the vote is held

-  Status of the WG charter - https://github.com/w3c/dpubwg-charter

     - Open issues that should be resolved soon: https://github.com/w3c/dpubwg-charter/issues

     - Minor issues relative to the accessibility liaison that Ivan is working on with Avneesh
     - Latin Req issue is waiting for Dave C. to resolve
     - Rick is trying to hunt down Dave Baron in other IRC rooms to try to close the DRM issue

-  Update on EDUPUB conversations
     - Acknowledge that we shouldn’t create a separate work and should align with the W3C work for things like annotations
     - There is some work that is so vertical for LMS integrations that they maybe should go to another group like IMS Global or even be taken up by the CG
     - As a profile, it is a subset- so EPUB Accessibility 1.0 doesn’t mandate WCAG AA, but EPUB for Education might require AA
     - As an accessibility spec we could declare what features are there so that it could be read
     - AA compliance gets into the “who says” and “who certifies” which is outside the W3C
     - BillK says that others might want to do profiles for sections like journals
     - Rick says that no profile, the community and other outside groups would create compliance for what the market wants using the base specs
     - CG would perhaps be tracking issues and errata like the ones that are being tracked with metadata right now
     - Here is the horizontal spec, here is the refinement of things that are “should” now and not define the details of things like assessment results return that can be resolved by other groups and the market
     - It really becomes a “best practices” document
     - The “best practices” that would come out of the CG will become feeder docs to the EPUB4 conversation
     - LMS content tends to be extended beyond what a standard reader can manage


-   CG initial priorities
     - Issue tracking with 3.1 and new requirement tracking
     - Techniques and updates with accessibility
     - BillK reminds us against that EPUBtest.org needs to work - best way to move forward is with Dave Cramer because he has a vision for how this can be done
     - Dave C didn’t get time to speak up at the meeting in London to talk about the “test harness” that it needs for testing of features the way that CSS gets tested
     - We are talking about mainstream testing here
     - CG would have a mailing list
     - Someone should be the conduit between the CG and this group
     - Liisa volunteered to help be the conduit
     - Liisa to setup time with Dave to talk

-   AC meeting presentation discussion
     - Rick will be at the meeting in Beijing
     - Will circulate a presentation before the end of the week, they want it Monday
     - Time will be short but Rick would like any feedback
     - Github link with presentations: https://github.com/w3c/dpub


-   Communication of the election decision from London f2f
     - Recommend that the election be opened during the F2F at Burlingame
     - Action to Bill noted to figure out when we will meet relative to TPAC
     - Perhaps WG meets during first two days and BG meeting during the Summit

-   Accessibility 1.1 timeline discussion
     - skipped over acknowledging coverage in CG discussion

-   Developing features for Publisher Rendering Preferences
     - Liisa to develop a proposal for the next call

-   Discuss communication methods- EPUBZone, articles, how do people want to hear about updates?
     - need to discuss next meeting

-  Discuss Publishing@W3C Summit "connecting the dots, make it all work”
     - need to discuss next meeting

- Discuss AB elections and whether we should put forth Rick as a candidate
     - Rick thinks there might be better chance and opportunity a year from now
     - Cristina and George note that a publishing champion at the AB level, even just running would be good for our community and visibility


Actions:
 - BillM:
     - Figure out when Publishing WG and BG will be meeting during the TPAC week
     - Figure out how CG communication should happen
- Ivan:
     - Help us understand how to run IRC when no W3C person is available
     - Let us know if there are any official W3C templates we should use when presenting
- Rick:
     - For next SC meeting refine the draft to have a doc to communicate to the general public on what is going on with EPUB for Education, info on what we are handing over to the CG to define, what we need to hand over to IMS and what the guiding principles are
     - Will talk more to Ivan about what AB requires and whether to run
- BillK:
     - Remind Brian that he was supposed to put together a doc relative to epubtest.org
- Liisa:
     - Followup with Dave C re the CG and being the liaison between these groups
     - Draft a proposal for the Publisher Rendering Prefs
- Everyone:
     - Feedback on Rick’s presentation for the AC meeting in Beijing
