Announcements/updatesGap Analysis Doc

DC: has moved the Gap document to GitHub. The gap document is located at:
https://w3c.github.io/mathml-docs/gap-analysis/

NS: The gap document has three examples for each section. To save space,
one example is shown, and links to the two other examples are provided.

NS: The gap document is in html and Markdown.

DC: We may have to style MathJax to give a common appearance for the
document. We would like the same set of fonts to be used throughout the
document.

BM: The introduction it is about ambiguity. It loses the idea of natural
speech.

*ACTION* NS: will work on this. BM's edits have been disappearing.

NS: The document must get shorter.

BM: wanted to touch certain points in the introduction so that they would
not have to be discussed later.

PI: NS's condensations are laudable. He used links to take examples out of
the main portion of the gapdocument. PI does not want these links to
disappear from the paper.

SW: Parallel markup makes him think about content and presentation. You can
give them in different granularities.

SW: We talk about parallel markup, but we do not discuss other uses of
semantic elements. We can glue intent onto other things.

PI: The original intent of the semantics item was for more things than just
accessibility.

NS: If we want something to be read, and the element requires explanation,
we would like to use a nearby item rather than some faraway item that must
be connected with a link.

NS: said that no one outside the group would think about this; therefore,
we will not mention it in the gap document.

Thus far, NS and DC are the only people who volunteered to be editors.

NS: will edit it and tell us when a section is finished. He will need help
on examples.

*ACTION* SD: will code the examples for the parallel and intent sections.

NS: Does not know how to write "schema.org" and "RDFA" examples.

NS: may pull the section because no one wants to work on it.

DC: Is the gap document going to be a working group note? The group decided
it would not be a formal WG note.

NS: We will leave it on GitHub. It will not be a formal note.

LM: We will use IRC to take minutes for the WG meeting of October 7, 2021.

You can access the meeting area by using the W3C IRC web client at

We will use the #math channel.
