RE: Call for Volunteer to Drive the Initiative of Tuner API (or Channel Control API) Community Group

We have made two changes to the WIKI. (http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Media_APIs/Tuner_API)

First, we have added references and the remarks from the e-mail on Gap analysis.
Second, we have added Channel API in the discussion part and made a link to the Terminal T/F wiki.

Please see the changes.

Regards,
Wook Hyun, Sung Hei Kim

Dear SH

Excellent reminder. Would you mind summarizing it and/or linking it to the wiki page setup by Daniel [1] ?
