As I said in 'setting the stage' I expect the majority of our conversation to take place * here on this mailing list and * on the Wiki We have an IRC channel, but no Zakim bridge. Given the geographic dispersal we have, and the lack of a bridge, I am NOT planning regular teleconferences. However, any subset of the group, up to and including all of it, is welcome to have one at any time, and I am happy to help provide a bridge, facilitate conversations, etc., and we can use IRC in parallel -- without the support of the Zakim bot, of course, alas. In terms of style, I am expecting that this group will be a whole load less contentious than some other groups. Nonetheless, some ground rules are in order, I think. Please maintain proper professional decorum; don't, for example, attack people, or attribute motives, or question motives. Be clear and focused. If you doubt your ability to do this, let 24 hours elapse to clear your mind (I do this). If *I* feel you have not succeeded, I may ask you to re-phrase, or ask the rest of the group to IGNORE your message until it can be re-phrased. Please don't put me there; I make a bad schoolmaster, but I am willing, if reluctant! I think pretty urgently we need to map out the landscape. It will help to get issues filed, action items assigned, bugs identified, roles assigned. That's really going to help us all understand where we are going. I realize that we don't have a base text for the actual specification in the W3C space yet; lets use the WhatWG extract (which has all sorts of dangling pointers etc., as we know) as a rough starting point. I am working with Ian on getting a better text formally into the W3C and this community group. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
