PagedMedia.org is launching a new community-led development at MIT Press on January 9, 2018. The project will develop a suite of Javascripts to paginate HTML/CSS in the browser, and to apply PagedMedia controls to paginated content for the purposes of exporting print-ready or display- friendly, PDFs from the browser.

- Adam Hyde (Coko/PagedMedia.org/Shuttleworth Fellow)
- Dave Cramer (Hachette/PagedMedia.org/W3C Publishing Work Group)
- Nellie McKesson (Hederis/W3C PWG)

Glad to know about this! You’ve got an all-star cast involved, so I will be looking forward to great things from this group.
Thanks Bill! We are starting a list too, let me know if you would like to be on it. Wishing you a great christmas!
Sure, sign me up for the list. I did check the “Add me to your mailing list” box, but I presume that was for your newsletter. If this is a listserve for the paged media work, I’d like to monitor that too. Thanks!–Bill
