Goals of this breakout

1. Discuss how we get people to create slides in HTML for W3C events
2. Demonstrate and discuss two editors (under development) for HTML slides:
   1. Markdown editor for b6+
      (Markdown)
   2. B6+ slide editor
      (WYSIWYG)

• Play slides directly from the editor
• Support for math
• Possibility to make editors with specific style sheets (URL params)

What's missing?

• Other ways to publish?
• Editing of images? diagrams?
• Templates?
• …

How do people choose a slide editor?

… and thus: what should the b6+ slide editor offer?

• It is already on their computer
• It's what they always used
• It offers a certain feature (which?)
• It is compatible with / allows integration with something (what?)
• It is easy to use, has a good manual, support, help from colleagues
• Can reuse old slides

And for TPAC and the AC meeting

• What would make a slide editor especially useful for TPAC?
• And for other W3C events (workshops, member events…)?
