UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: first deadline iin a month, deliver the MVP, then MDN review

liisa: « What is EPUB »
... take back to teh BG a request to look about, and give priorities?

tzviya: important to remenber only what is in the EPUB spec itself.
... html, css are what people ask
... there are other platform about taht , pointing to other knowledge bas, like a11y
... MDN not interested to duplication
... interoperabilty?
... epubtest.org, but ho to accomplish, should be simple
... MDN says it needs to maintanble

George: who is the audience for MDN
... taht repo will focus on what is unqiue to EPUB: nav, metadat, navigation to pages
... epubtest.org is being reveised to focus on a11Y pices
... happy to include some mainstream things, but inactove for years
... marisa workin on it

Rachel: epubtest update, primary place for interoperabiliy focus
... any project like this is difficult
... so many people to build EPUB without understanding how they work
... more fruitfull on people needing for basic building

wendyreid: a single source for docuemntation
... MDN , epubtest, is better tahn Kobo and other having their own

Bill_Kasdorf: on call yestarday, how valuable for developers
... lokks like chaos for them

EPUB3.2 final report

liisamk_: converge with validation, how wrapup final changes in EPUB3.2

... Garth, Wendy ?
... They say YES

... in BISG
... content committee should be revived
... Brian would support that, go to Joshua
... another would to publish the agreement as is
... put him in the conversation

George: contact Josh cc:Brin, encouraging to move to EPUB3.2

DAISY asked for implementing EPUB, they made a commitment to fix bugs

scribe: no timeframe, but the community new the implementers were supporting

Rachel: letter from Josh, bad tone, agressive, and not representing the BISG position

<liisamk_> +1 to Tzviya's comment

Rachel: asking it to be rewritten
... we rewrote the letter
... out of the BISG, from a single vendor doesn’t match the support of the community
... now valuable for us to encourage users for EPUB3, support from BISG amazing
... not reliable on only one person

Bill_Kasdorf: misunderstanding; redo all teh process?
... better to come form this group than from taht group
... tone encouraging, not agressive
... it should not out from one vendor, but from this group

Garth: ok with Bill_Kasdorf,
... statement that EPUB3.2 is the way to go, as EPUBCheck is the way to go, bless the spec

<Ralph> [Ralph arrives very late]

Garth: ingest in Google Play, more endorsement when EPUBCheck is released

Dave: that letter was urging to move from EPUB2 to EPUB3
... make an EPUB3 that ingest in pipelines
... not overstate the changes from EPUB2
... The letter distorted the history of EPUB

wendyreid: more context, the tone was not good but the spirit was ok

<Bill_Kasdorf> +1 to Wendy

<Bill_Kasdorf> thanks for the clarification, Wendy

wendyreid: not enough good argument
... revision to the letter gave a better support

<garth> +1 to Wendy too

wendyreid: we should release that letter with a W3C intiative

<Rachel> excellent point Wendy - love the idea of the partnerships with various country orgs
