    FYI: the papers as well as the results of the workshop are public and visible at: http://www.w3.org/2002/02/01-i18n-workshop/ . The decisions on which activity should be part of the new i18n group charter will be made by the W3C in the next months. In summary, the following activities are considered: - Creation of guidelines for WWW internationalization, including localization issues and working close to accessibility issues as well. - Review of other W3C work for i18n issue (as it is done already). - Localizability: work on possible creation of a standard namespace for localization directives, as well as a standard way to describe localization properties at the vocabulary level. - Language and locale: setting WWW requirement for those aspects (including how to carry such data through Web services) and working with other groups in establishing a standard. - Education and outreach: helping to grow the awarness of i18n issues and solutions. All those are just the main ideas expressed. What will actually be put in place may be different. -yves
