Fwd: Question - CSS Working Group Activities & W3C Publishing Business Group Goals

Liisa, Christina, Daihei,

please find, below, a mail I have just received from Paul Tykodi, from the IEEE Printer Working Group. I would think that exploring how far the Publishing Industry is interested by the development of CSS print would be of importance, and maybe it is a good idea for the PBG to organize some sort of a seminar/meeting, inviting the people from the PWG but also the chairs of the CSS WG.

We may also think about having a short discussion about it at TPAC next week.

Cheers

Ivan

The PWG is the standards body, which originally developed the CSS-Print (https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/cs-xpcssprt10-20030331-5102.2.html) and XHTML-Print (https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/cs-xpxprt10-20030331-5102.1.pdf) standards.

> Today, I received an email notification about an upcoming meeting of the W3C CSS Working Group. It reminded me that an active CSS Working Group might offer an opportunity to improve the printing support defined by CSS.

> As far as I know, there has not been a lot of energy put into most of the following specifications or initiatives in the recent past:
> 
> Priorities for CSS from the Digital Publishing Interest Group - https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-css-priorities/
> CSS Print Profile - https://www.w3.org/TR/css-print/ - CSS Working Group note says the working group has discontinued work on the document
> XHTML-Print - Second Edition - https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-print/
> CSS Paged Media Module Level 3 - https://www.w3.org/TR/css-page-3/
> 
> If the W3C Publishing Business Group might want to advocate for some specific CSS based improvements focused on printing/publishing during this latest iteration of CSS Working Group activities, I believe the Printer Working Group members would likely be willing to participate in W3C CSS working group related activities focused on improving how the CSS standard supports printing/publishing activities.
