Indeed, I suspect no-one feels able to finish the work — but even if someone could do a half-ass job of defining the transformation, I bet others would pitch in and solve problems and answer questions.

maybe we should start on a wiki?

The planned focus of the meeting is to compare TTML and WebVTT, and to work on mapping between them.  Currently, I’m the only one with in-depth WebVTT experience who is planning to attend.  It would be very valuable to have other participants with WebVTT experience there.  So, if you are a WebVTT expert, please consider attending!
