Hi, all! I don't see an edit button on the wiki page (to add my name to a task force). Do I need to be a collaborator to edit?

Tim, I just added you as a collaborator. Anyone else, just ask me and I'll add you.

I signed in to Accessibility and Education. I should probably be monitoring the Testing and Validation TF, especially if it also involves epubtest.org, because of the BISG connection. We didn't discuss epubtest.org on the call. Is that part of the T&V TF?

dauwhe commented May 4, 2017

Yes, epubtest.org would be a topic of interest to a testing and validation task force.

@mattgarrish

We had a separate idpf group for the test suite initially but all it did was make coordination complicated as it and epubtest.org became more tightly bound, so that's how BISG ended up taking charge of both. It might be better to look at expanding that BISG group than striking up another. (Assuming that group is still a going concern.)

Of course, if there are other testing issues (epubtest.org has its objectives), I'm not arguing against a task force.

Remote-resource properties are not available on the "features support" page. Why? Does anyone have information? -> http://epubtest.org/features/

dauwhe commented May 4, 2017

@teytag my guess is that no one wrote a test for those features.

@mattgarrish I need to talk to Brian about BISG's role in all this.

BillK: This will be on the agenda for the PBG call next week. Brian will be calling in. We've been waiting for him to be available to put it on the agenda.

Thanks for info @dauwhe ... But I know that EPUB-Checker does not accept this feature (remote-resources).

For me Github is okey. No problem about to use it. Have a nice day...

@BillKasdorf

How best to handle epubtest.org and the BISG Grid is an open and ongoing discussion between the W3C, BISG, and DAISY. There are good arguments for keeping the Accessibility testing as is but changing how the "mainstream testing" for epubtest.org should be done. While it's presumed those three organizations will still collaborate on this, the roles may shift now that IDPF is part of W3C.

OK, I am putting in a new comment
I also can tell that I can edit comments others have made. Good think markdown is supported.

Oops, It looks like I can edit my own comments, like this one, but not others, which is fine.

@GeorgeKerscher this is all part of learning to use GitHub. You have successfully demonstrated that one can close and reopen an issue without losing any information.

@mattgarrish

@teytag If you can demonstrate what problem epubcheck has validating the remote-resource property, please document it in the issue tracker for that project.

If it's that vendors aren't allowing remote resources independent of what epubcheck validates, or reading systems don't support, there's nothing that can be done about that.

Hi, I'm a user of the NVDA screen reader for Windows, by @nvaccess and its community, and of TalkBack for Android. You can add me to the accessibility subgroup to contribute on GitHub.
Perhaps I could help testing ePUB reading systems with NVDA or commenting related issues.
I'm a contributor of the spanish website of NVDA, where we posted two articles about ePUB, since a part of the community of blind people seems not to know how to read ebooks in ePUB format, though there are some people and library interested on this:

Thanks.

@dauwhe May I get edit rights as a colloborator, too, or would you prefer to restrict that right to members of the steering committe. I would also like to add further EPUB modules to be looked after in the "Specifications" section if that is OK for you. --> thanks, Dave :)

By the way, what's the difference between a colloborator and a contributor? Does the last category have more access rights?

This issue is not the place for substantive discussions--it's just a way for me to add people to the project, and to allow people to practice with GitHub. So as Tobias said, please open an issue in the EPUBCheck tracker. Thanks!

It was quite easy to create my personal epubcheck fork in my Github account - to be able to experiment with damaging the master. I could also download it as a zip and extract it on my hard disk, but creating a clone doesn't work with any method or Git client because I'm sitting behind a very strict corporate firewall (which I don't have any influence to change) and all the necessary ports (e.g. 443) seem to be blocked. What would be the best method to upload files, to generate a pull request or asking for comments? How do you upload files into a specific directory? Thx for your kind assistance and patience!

Hello!
Since four years I am running a polish portal that is focused on modern way of reading and its accessibility.
@dauwhe , I would be honored to become a collaborator as I am working on expanding my editing and publishing skills. Additionaly, since two years I am working as a software tester. I could be helpful in testing purposes as well!
That would be a great experience!

Thank you, sending regards,

Hi @dauwhe,

I have been developing quite a few epub-related tools (mostly reader-oriented) and am working to update them to epub 3.2 (btw, it fixed all the issues I had with older versions of epub 3). I have also contributed to epub.js and have had experience working with and troubleshooting e-readers and apps (Kobo, koreader, Sigil, multiple Android apps). You can find them on my GitHub profile and on the MobileRead forums.

On a side note, what is the proper capitalization of epub? EPUB, ePub, ePUB, or epub? I can't seem to find a consensus on this.

Can I be added as an collaborator?

Patrick

P.S. I won't be able to attend the call today, but I might be able to drop by the IRC channel.
