W3C Community Group

Hi all

As some people are aware, there is a W3C Community Group (http://www.w3.org/community/datapipelining/) related to XProc that has been effectively moribund due to Ari and myself not being terribly full of free time and our lack of a particular vision for the group.

A week or two ago Ari and I met up to discuss this* and we came up with a few ideas. We are taking the fact that there is no longer a formal working group as the basis of our thought processes.


So, we’d like feedback on the following thoughts

1) Could the community group be used to organise the ‘home’ of XProc online? Currently, there is xproc.org<http://xproc.org>, exproc.org, the w3c site, Gerrit’s site, github and probably some other sites
2) Could we merge some of the online tutorials and host them on the community group wiki?
3) We wonder if it would be a good place to gather uses cases and feature requests (for the language itself, not the implementations).


Finally, should the group actually exist? I’m not convinced either way. It *does* need to be renamed if it continues to exist. Data Pipelining Uses Cases doesn’t exactly slip off of the tongue.
