Re: Minutes from the June 11, 2021 Steering Committee meeting

Thanks Bill.

I would like to suggest some accuracy related corrections in the part 
related to EPUBCheck contract, because our near future actions for contract 
will be based on it. May be Ivan can help in correcting the minutes.
Existing:
Avneesh: Starting phase 3 to create a prototype based on HTML validator
… Now being done manually
… This prototype will explore migrating EPUBCheck to the HTML Validator
… Plan was to propose a standing committee to work on this.
… If we move to HTML this will be really valuable
… But there is another priority: Implementing EPUB 3.3
… EPUB 3.3 won't be implemented if it isn't in EPUBCheck
… As part of the contract the cost is the same as updating to support 3.3
… Main decision: do we want to swap priorities?

correct:
Avneesh: Starting phase 3 to create a prototype based on HTML validator
… the schemas in EPUBCheck are Now being synchronized manually with HTML 
validator
… This prototype will explore migrating EPUBCheck to the HTML Validator
… If we move to HTML this will be really valuable and it will reduce cost of 
maintaining schema manually
… But there is another priority: Implementing EPUB 3.3
… EPUB 3.3 won't be implemented if it isn't in EPUBCheck.
But supporting EPUB 3.3 is not in EPUBCheck contract
… the cost of developing the prototype on HTML validator is approximately 
the same as to support EPUB 3.3
… Main decision: do we want to swap priorities?

existing:
Avneesh: EPUB 2 also points to latest version of HTML; we just do it 
manually at this point.
… In the short term this won't reduce our cost; in the long term it will 
make it easier to maintain.

Correct:
Avneesh: EPUB 3.2 also points to latest version of HTML; we just do it 
manually at this point.
… In the short term migration to HTML validator won't reduce our cost; in 
the long term it will make it easier to maintain EPUBCheck.
So, it would not have significant effect on adding support for EPUB 3.3.


Thanks
Avneesh
