Dear all

In just a month many of us will meet in Tours - so I hope! As usual, there is reserved a time slot at the end of the conference for self-organized activities such as the interest group meetings, that is, Friday at 10:00, after the community meeting.
I know there has been very little activity on the mailing list since we met in Montreal. None, actually. Also, work on the "metadata manual" has not progressed as promised. That is definitely my fault to a great extent, for which I sincerely apologize.

As it is about time to make travel arrangements, I would like to know whether there are any suggestions for topics to discuss or presentations you would like to make during a metadata group session. If not, I am tempted to skip the group meeting this year and postpone it to next year if needed. Of course, we could also meet just to inform each other briefly about the progress of our current projects.

Please let me know your thoughts in order to decide whether to meet in Tours.

I would like to emphasize that I do not see the group's silence as a sign of indifference or low activity in general. On the contrary, I suspect that the MEI header has now reached a level of maturity and scope that satisfies most projects at this time. In Copenhagen at least we are now concentrated on the production of (meta-)data rather than the development of the schema and how to work with it.

BTW, if you are interested in the MerMEId metadata editor I suggest that you subscribe to the MerMEId Newsletter: http://www.kb.dk/en/nb/dcm/projekter/mermeid.html (sign up in the right column). An archive of previous newsletters is found here: http://us14.campaign-archive2.com/home/?u=b14f54cf7b3c6654a3909c990&id=4cce1a9392 . As you will see, we announced the release of a new version of MerMEId supporting the MEI 3.0.0 schema a couple of weeks ago.
