Dear Internationalization Experts, W3C organized a workshop co-located with the 20th Unicode Conference last month in Washington DC, to discuss the future of the W3C Internationalization Activity. The minutes and results of the workshop are now published at http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/minutes http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/consensus The plan now is to use the month of March for a concentrated effort to collect additional material. At the end of March, we will prepare the new charter(s) for the W3C Internationalization Activity based on the input we receive. The workshop identified five work streams of potential future work: - Guidelines, best practices - Distributed services (e.g. exchanging locale/collation info) - Education & Outreach - Localizability - Existing work (reviews, character model, liaisons) We would like to invite you to participate and contribute in helping shape the future of the W3C Internationalization Activity. For this, please join the www-i18n-workshop@w3.org mailing list, archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-workshop/. [this archive is publicly accessible] To subscribe, send a mail with subject 'subscribe' to www-i18n-workshop-request@w3.org. (clicking the following link should do the job: mailto:www-i18n-workshop-request@w3.org?Subject=subscribe). The workshop was a very good start for planning the new activities, but more is needed. In particular, for each work stream, we need to get: - A more detailed list of work items (including priorities, effort needed) - Information on business cases, use cases,... to justify why W3C should do this work (e.g. how would this improve the Web?) - A list of experts and key players Please don't hesitate to send your ideas to www-i18n-workshop@w3.org. Please use prefixes (e.g. Guidelines, Distributed, Education, Localizability, Existing) in mail subjects. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Martin. #-#-# Martin J.
