The XProc face-to-face workshop held in the MarkLogic offices (thanks, MarkLogic!) in London on 11-12 June was a great success. We were able to close a number of outstanding issues and now hope to have the core spec finished by the next f2f meeting, planned to 5-6 September (probably Leipzig, but watch this space).
The meeting minutes are here.
There will be an XProc workshop in London on 11-12 June, immediately following Markup UK on 9-10 June. We’ll post more information as soon as it becomes available, both here and on Github.
And please – if you have any comments, suggestions, or use cases on the current XProc 3.0 draft, let us know. We hope to have a “candidate release” of the spec ready in the spring, with implementations of that release available in June.
Were you at XML Prague, listening to Gerrit and Achim present the XProc 3.0 draft and thinking we’ve missed something or are doing it wrong? Do you wonder about the usefulness of the XProc draft for your project? Is there something we should do that we aren’t doing? We want to hear from you:

I’m happy to report that the XProc workshop in Prague (hosted by XML Prague – thanks!) on Feb 6-7 was a great success. We now have a roadmap that looks like this (borrowed from the XML Prague slides):
For more detail on what was said and done, see our Github Wiki. For a summary, the slides presented at the conference also provide a terrific overview.
Those of you who arrive in Prague on Monday afternoon/evening for the XProc workshop or XML Prague, later in the week, should consider joining us at 7 PM for a pre-workshop dinner at the Sklep. So far it’s just yours truly (Ari Nordström) and Achim Berndzen, but more people may drop in for drinks later.
A two-day XProc workshop is planned for 6-7 February 2018, immediately before next year’s XML Prague conference on 8-10 February.
Why not attend both?
The minutes of the XProc workshop held on 14-15 September in Aachen are here.

The XProc Next Community Group has been launched:
Create a place for gathering requirements from existing and potential users of XProc, research in this area, and for supporting and writing the community-driven effort to define an XProc 3.0 specification (formerly 1.1) .
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2017-06-14 by Ari Nordström. The following people supported its creation: Ari Nordström, Peter Daengeli, Romain Deltour, Geert Bormans, Achim Berndzen, David Maus, Andrew Sales. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
