[EMOXG] Final report completed

Dear all,

the lifetime of the Emotion Markup Language Incubator Group has ended 
yesterday. Its final report [1] is complete from my point of view, and I 
have requested its publication to the W3C webmaster. Normally it should 
be formally published and announced on the W3C website within a week. I 
hope to have given fair credit to all who have provided input, be it as 
active authors of the document, or through their comments, suggestions, 
and questions over the year. My apologies where I may have failed to do 
so, it has not been on purpose. It has been very nice working with all 
of you! :-)

This concludes the incubator phase of the work on Emotion Markup. We 
have come a long way since July 2006, the time when we started the first 
  Emotion Incubator Group. Let's hope that everything goes well with the 
continuation of the work in the W3C Recommendation Track, so that we can 
publish a First Public Working Draft soon, and ultimately produce a spec 
for a language people find useful for their work on emotion-related 
technology.

This mailing list will continue to operate at least until the end of 
January 2009, when the new MMI WG charter is expected to start.

Next todo item is the preparation of work in the MMI group. Anyone 
interested in participating in that future work, please let me know 
explicitly.

A first activity, within the next week actually, is to propose a first 
draft of the emotion-related parts of the next MMI charter. Those who 
are willing to help formulate that, please tell me, and we can 
coordinate a proposal together.

Best regards,
Marc
