Program and Position Statements

Dear workshop participants,

A rough program of the workshop is now available at:

http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/program.html

A text copy is also attached below. IMPORTANT: Please note
that we start with breakfast at 8:00, and with the actual
workshop at *** 8:30 ***, half an hour earlier than originally
planned. On the other hand, we have scheduled the end of the
workshop for 17:00 (5pm). This is mainly because we are afraid
that some of you might need to leave early.

We are separately contacting people whom we will ask for a
10-minute talk. Even if you don't get contacted, please make
sure that you are ready to briefly present your issue(s),
e.g. in 2 to 3 minutes.


With help from Richard Ishida, all position statements have now
been published. Please have a look at

http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/participants.html.
(If you can't see 32 position statements, please make sure
to refresh.)

Please check your own position statement if you haven't already
done so (and send me corrections if necessary).

Much more importantly, please read ALL the position statements
in the remaining time up to the workshop. This should actually
not take too long. Because it is only a one-day workshop, we
need everybody to be well prepared in order not to lose
productive time.

If you have any questions you want to ask of any of the other
participants, about their statement or otherwise, please do
so on this mailing list, so that we can start to get the
discussion going in advance of the workshop.

When reading the position statements, please think in particular
about the following issues:

- Should the W3C work on this issue (as opposed to somebody else)?
   Why, or why not? What would make the W3C in particular suited to
   doing the job?

- How much effort would a solution need?

- How and to what extent would you and/or your employer be ready
   to contribute to the work?

If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to send
them to the list or to me at any time.

Regards,    Martin.
