Report on call with Bliss Symbolics representative

janina: we had a very good call with Russell

janina: Productive conversation with Russell Galvin
… W3C will host a registry, at a URL that is to be determined
… the Bliss Symbolics lookup table, that we have been considering here for many years, will become available to people and machine processes
… this registry could host the lookup ID number as well as the symbol, perhaps in SVG format
… Russell agreed to remain the single point of contact on this between WAI ADAPT and/or W3C and the Bliss Symbolics Board
… Russell will inform his board of these developments, which he is very excited about as it gives Bliss more visibility
… WAI-Adapt will need to write a spec to host this index of BCI codes
… the primary "gloss" for each symbol will begin with English, then we can add the several other languages that Bliss has captured
… Lisa was on the call and we recognized her achievement in shepherding this process to this point

CharlesL: Great to hear that the Bliss people are talking about unicode
… is there a template for this registry?
