Progress update, January

The Schema Course Extension community group was launched in December.  It now has ~30 participants and Phil Barker was chosen as chair. More participants are welcome, In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account (but not full W3C Membership.

During the same period there was active discussion on Github, resulting from a pull request based on an existing proposal. The discussion raised many issues and ideas, but is difficult to follow.

The best way to proceed was discussed in a conference call in January, notes from which are available. In that call it was suggested that discussion be structured around a list of what the extension should enable and examples based on data from real websites. These use case outlines and a short list of example sites from which data can be summarised are now on the group wiki. Hopefully we can knock most of them off one at time fairly quickly.
