Now that the conference is over, I have a couple of ideas for where we might want to head next: 1. Send e-mail to all conference attendees inviting and encouraging participation in SVG IG. There are a lot of good projects ongoing: SVG Planet, SVG-IG wiki, SVG-Edit, etc. 2. Encourage W3C to go ahead and announce the book. I believe Doug has agreed that this makes sense. http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html We can talk about working on it forever, but unless it is known, no one* is going to. Once it is announced, contributors will materialize. Already Sean Roe from CERN has contributed a chapter on XSLT; I just need to bundle it in. 3. (and perhaps most importantly) Collectively rebuild the Wikipedia entry on SVG to include animation and interactivity. Since Wikipedia will apparently be expanding support for SVG Web, it is important that we undertake a project to take advantage of the new cross-browser appeal afforded by SVG Web. Once people see what SVG in Wikipedia can do (interactivity and maybe animation?), then ordinary folks will start to pay more attention. Following on Brion's presentation, we should probably include a section on using SVG in Wikipedia that would, among other things, discuss file size, and Scour (as within Inkscape). * except for Ruud who already has some new corrections.
