This Working Group has been closed on the 20th of June 2023. The maintenance of the WG documents have been taken over by the Publishing Maintenance Working Group.

This is the repository for the home page of the W3C EPUB 3 Working Group:

https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/epub-wg/

(That URL is redirected to the w3c.github.io view of this repository.)

GitHub repositories are linked from each specification. There is a separate list of repos of this WG.

Use the standard fork, branch, and pull request workflow to propose changes to the specification. Please make branch names informative—by including the issue or bug number for example.

Editorial changes that improve the readability of the spec or correct spelling or grammatical mistakes are welcome.

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md, about licensing contributions.

Generating weekly minutes is done via the scribejs script and some additional configuration settings provided in this repo (see .scribejs.json).

To use this repository's scribejs setup first install the tools...

$ npm install

Then run the following (with date information changed to match your scenario):

$ npm run scribejs -- -d 2020-09-01 -o _minutes/2020-09-01-epub-wg.md

This will request the IRC logs for the correct channel and convert them into the Kramdown (a more feature rich form of Markdown) with settings to match this repositories other documents.

If you need to make edits to the IRC log before generating the output (due to incorrect scribenick or similar), you can download the W3C logs from URLs such as https://www.w3.org/2020/09/01-epub-wg-irc.txt. Once downloaded, you can reference that input document directly (rather than using the automatic date-based retrieval).

For example:

$ curl https://www.w3.org/2020/09/01-epub-wg-irc.txt > 2020-09-01-epub-irc.txt
$ npm run scribejs -- 2020-09-01-epub-irc.txt -d 2020-09-01 -o _minutes/2020-09-01-epub.md

Edit the .txt file and repeat the npm run scribejs line as necessary. Once finished, you can commit the .md file and delete the .txt file (or keep it for your records).

Alternatively, you can also use the browser interface to scribejs relying on your local clone of the WG's repository.

This site is built for Jekyll. If you have Jekyll and npm installed, you can run npm run serve to have Jekyll watch the working directory for changes and compile the templates (etc) incrementally.

Once run, you can browse the site at http://localhost:4000/publishing/groups/epub-wg/ (the extra path information is required to match the w3.org hosting location).
