I18n is an industry-wide abbreviation for Internationalization.
Last year there was a single Internationalization Working Group within the Internationalization Activity. At the beginning of 2005, the Activity was rechartered with three Working Groups.
I18n Core WG: This group reviews specifications in development at the W3C for internationalization issues. It also develops its own specifications and W3C Notes related to internationalization topics. (Chair: Addison Phillips, Quest Software) (charter)
I18n Guidelines, Education & Outreach (GEO) WG: This group continues the work of the former GEO Task Force, and aims to make the internationalization aspects of W3C technology better understood and more widely and consistently used by producing articles, tutorials, tests and other resource information. and making the information widely available. (Chair: Richard Ishida, W3C) (charter)
Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) WG: This is a new group, developing a set of elements and attributes that can be used with new DTDs/Schemas to support the internationalization and localization of documents; it will also provide best practice guidelines for developers of DTDs/Schemas that show how to enable internationalization of their documents. (Chair: Yves Savourel, Enlaso) (charter)
Another change is that the Internationalization Interest Group is now open for public participation, and uses the www-international@w3.org mailing list (archive) .
