Re: {minutes} TTWG Meeting 11/9/2014

Silvia,

Thanks for these notes.  My team is not trying reinvent the test suite approach, but instead we are focusing on creating test vtt files to exercise the features in the spec.  We will add our content to the existing github repository once we have it done.
