Re: Next PubSC call, EPBUBCheck dev status

Hi,

For our PubSC call tomorrow, I’d like to bring to your attention the following subject :`

validator.idpf.org
Status

  *   Updated for free by DAISY in January 2019 to EPUBCheck 4.1.1 (not in EPUBCheck revision plan)
  *   Statistics show real usage : more than 4800 unique IPs per month in 2019 (see attached)
  *   DAISY can update it to latest EPUBCheck (4.2.2)

Issues

  *   Hosted by DAISY Consortium, It is unreliable and goes down frequently and it consumes a lot of server cycles
  *   If we want to keep it
     *   It should be improved to consume less resources and be more reliable
     *   It should not be on idpf.org anymore

Will be a subject on next PBG call agenda

  *   And questioning its utility will be included in the publishing survey

Best,
Luc
