[tei-council] TEI Council report

[Arianna Ciula]

Hi Laurent,

here are some notes on this.

First for all, as I said, the SIGs that are definitively meeting in 
November are listed at 
http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/programme/index.html (bottom of 
the page); so if there are other SIGs that are supposed to meet please 
let us and Susan know as soon as possible.

As far as planning for the next two years, although some of the more 
strategical directions are up to the board to give - as Sebastian 
remarked, I still think that besides expanding (e.g. recommendations on 
physical bibliography) and improving (e.g. critical apparatus) the 
existing guidelines, we should add to our plan the following:

- recommendations on integrating with/mapping to other standards (note 
the some of this is actually being done by SIGs)
- collection of style sheets templates by module (we mentioned this at 
the last face to face meeting)
- connection to other outreach projects (you mention some, but what 
about 'TEI by example'?)
