The MathML Refresh CG has developed a charter for a restart of the Math Working Group. We believe this is now ready for W3C review.


<dt><a href="https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/publ-wg/">Publishing Working Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Publishing Working Group's goal is to enable all publications to be first class citizens of the web. MathML is used by a large number of technical and textbook publishers in their workflows. The MathML WG will work with the PWG to ensure their needs are met with updates to the MathML recommendations.</dd>

Several comments on this one:

  • the Publishing Working Group (renamed Audiobooks Working Group) is now in maintenance mode with a different scope. I am not sure it is worth listing it here.
  • instead, I would propose to add the EPUB Working Group to the lot (https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/epub-wg/). MathML is of a vital importance for the digital publishing world in general, and EPUB in particular. I would actually think it would be useful to have some sort of an active relationship (try to have common WG members, etc) to ensure an active cooperation.
  • I would also add the Publishing Community Group (https://www.w3.org/community/publishingcg/) to the list; that group, as a CG, does not have a strong charter control over its work, and is looking at digital publishing issues at large. MathML is a major consideration for that CG as well.

Dropping the (now) AudioBooks WG from the groups we will coordinate with and adding the EPUB WG makes a lot of sense. I've fielded a number of questions and comments from them in the past, so I have first hand experience they are interested in what we are doing. Adding the Publishing CG is also sensible. So +1 to @iherman's suggestions.

@NSoiffer thanks.

Note that this branch has been merged, so the file is edited elsewhere now... I am not sure how that will be handled.
