David, Great to hear that you plan to join us! I'll be around at ISWC and would love to meet up with RDFa folks as well ... Regarding the formal bits: You need to actually join a Working Group (I joined SWD [1]) - your W3C AC representative should be able to tell how) An aside: The RDFa TF is jointly hosted by SWD WG and XHTML2 WG ... Cheers, Michael [1] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/ (see 'Members' section) ---------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hausenblas, MSc.
