Re: epubcheck RFP is LIVE

Did we check whether it is appropriate to have a W3C blog on this?

Romain Deltour confirmed that this is fine with him as long as it’s just a page on the wiki (https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck/wiki <https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck/wiki>). I can prepare that next week if everyone is okay with it.

> Romain Deltour (even though there is potential conflict of interest if DAISY bids on this, I don’t see how we can assess a proposal without Romain’s input)
> Tobias Fischer (other than Romain, Tobias is the only person who has made meaningful contributions to epubcheck in the last few years)
> Brady Duga – Brady participated in the efforts to revive epubcheck and had some good ideas about renovating the site (and no good deed goes unpunished)
> Someone from the HTML Validator team and / or testing (possible SpecOps) – our ultimate goal is to work better with W3C tooling, so it would make sense to loop someone in.
