"Duration of Working Group Charter

The Working Group is chartered through May 2011. The Working Group will target an initial working draft (not feature complete) published in September, 2010 that can be a basis for experimental implementations, and aim for a public draft in December 2010 followed in January 2011 with a draft standard for trial use. Final standard recommendation submitted to the Board by May 15, 2011." (http://idpf.org/idpf_groups/epub21wg...-5-7-2010.html)

Le WG de la v3, ils seront en conf' lundi, mardi & mercredi pour finaliser le squelette du premier draft, et j'ai pas vraiment trouvé de roadmap précis pour la suite (Cf. http://code.google.com/p/epub-revisi...2F201010Agenda).

Par contre, en lisant plus attentivement la note v2.1, il se peut qu'en fait 2.1 => 3.0 directement, ce qui éclaircirait ma confusion initiale ^^. (Et que du coup le WG 2.1 c'est maintenant effectivement le WG v3 du wiki, ce qu'à l'air d'être le cas en comparant les membres, et que donc le roadmap c'est bien celui évoqué plus haut. Donc, bon, reste que dans le meilleur des cas, la version finale des specs c'est au plus tôt après mi mai 2011).

"The name “EPUB 2.1” is a placeholder. This enhancement release to EPUB is expected to be a substantive improvement in the capabilities of EPUB, addressing the mission with respect to the enumerated industry problems. As such, it is quite possible that the IDPF Board and Membership will wish to consider this release “EPUB 3.0”. However, the intention is for this release to be completed in a timely manner as per the duration of the Working Group Charter, which timely completion is also critical to achievement of the mission. As such the Working Group is encouraged to consider the scope as limited in the sense that not all conceivable enhancements - perhaps not even solutions to the enumerated problems – can be accomplished in this release. As well, an important goal is to maximize backwards compatibility, i.e. content created for this new release of EPUB should, insofar as possible, be operable on Reading Systems that support EPUB 2.0. The working name “EPUB 2.1” was chosen in keeping with these time-to-market and backwards-compatibility requirements, though “EPUB 3.0” remains possible." (toujours http://idpf.org/idpf_groups/epub21wg...-5-7-2010.html)

Bon, après ça ne réglera pas un autre soucis, mais bon, ça on peut toujours rêver... ^^
