I've seen no replies from other TAG members, so let me ask you: is there some way you think we might be helpful? In particular, you don't suggest detailed schedules for your progress to last call. If you let us know roughly what timeframes you have in mind, I can at least try to be sure that the TAG remains aware of them as we set our own priorities. I am also, of course, open to other suggestions as to how best to coordinate. Thank you.

We have a F2F scheduled tentatively for end of June: if we can make good progress refining our priorities between now and then, we'll have a much more effective F2F agenda, and there will be less need to spend time discussing priorities. So, here are my thoughts on next steps, along with a request for you to help move this discussion forward in the coming weeks: First, it's clear that there is a balance to be struck between top down planning driven by unifying themes as identified at the F2F [2] vs. stepping in quickly and effectively on other high priority matters that need attention. I don't think we yet know what the right balance is. Also, we haven't >yet< shown that we can use the themes we gathered at the F2F to motivate specific work items with clear goals and measures of success. Even if the themes do prove effective, we'll need to be nimble about taking up other high priority work from time to time. So, we need to propose more specific activities under each theme, and to prioritize both the big themes and the specific activities. Let's try in email in the coming weeks to make progress, building on what we did at the F2F. There are multiple threads we'll need to pursue in parallel, iterating until we have a set of particular deliverables organized by high priority themes, or else perhaps until the point where we decide that themes aren't serving us after all. Below my signature are a set of questions I think we should be discussing between now and the F2F. I propose that we let this discussion go on as a background activity for a few weeks to see whether it proves fruitful. In the meantime, we have quite a few items left over from last week's agenda, as well as one or two new ones, and they look worthwhile to me. I'll be scheduling those for telcons on the 26th and the 2nd, while keeping an eye on this discussion of long term priorities. Thank you. Thank you.

Should we focus on all 6 equally? Are the themes in fact useful in setting priorities? My suggestion is that we focus on 4 - HTML TAG soup and versioning Maybe new note to tell the story of how this works in HML5 using ultra-liberal parsing? (Separately get JAR's node on versioning in general out -- useful IMHO but not for HTML5) - Access to metadata This is timely. We should make a finding which could be a part of a new Arch Doc which described how to get metadata using link headers etc. And we should review the 3 drafts Noah points to. - Naming Get this finding done and wrapped up and off the agenda. - Semantic web a la awwsw We track two: - Security, which we feel is important but do not have in-group expertise really. - Mobile, looking or issues in mobile which are different from normal web arch.
