EPUBCheck Fundraising Hosting

Dear Laurent,

As you may know, the Publishing Business Group has launched recently an RFP to develop the next version of epubcheck, with at least a short term goal of validating EPUB3.2.

This development has to be funded and we plan to start in parallel a fundraising website to collect funds and pay the developers.

On behalf of the Publishing Business Group Steering Committee(here cced), I’d like to ask you if EDRLab could do that and with which conditions?

The foreseen global activity can be summarized as :

  *   Build a web site with hosting, design and wording to be validated by SC
  *   Payment on line, to a specific banking account
  *   Reporting on payments, online access to SC only
  *   Follow schedule of deliverables from the epubcheck development planning
  *   Pay the developer if SC is ok
What do you think ?

Could you participate at the next PBG-SC meeting this Friday afternoon (17h Paris time)?

Best regards,
Luc
