Adam Hyde from the booktype project will be in San Francisco in the week of 12/10-12/14, so could potentially do an in-person brown bag with remote participation on Thursday 12/13 in our usual weekly chat time slot.
booktype is doing some interesting open source work to create book quality rendering in the browser using open web technologies like CSS regions, see BookJS: http://bookjs.net/
Some of this could be relevant to the future of MediaWiki technologies that serve the same purpose (e.g. an alternative to the current PediaPress mwlib library).
I'll ask him to do this in our weekly time slot if I can get at least 5 additional sign-ups here by the end of the week:
