This is intended to reflect our Web3D - ISO specification processes.  Several months were dedicated early in the year to process review.

Some discussion, and repeated request: this table needs to be restructured for readability and to maintain status.  Not able to use it as is.

Perhaps the following refactorings might help:
- swap columns and rows, adjust until printable on one page for proper review/updates.
- separate status table/page for advancement of each specification.

4. HAnim examples, conversions and version 2 support

Don will resume meetings, planned weekly with Joe Williams.

=================

5. X3D Python binding and PyJNIus mapping of X3DJSAIL.

John Carlson and Don Brutzman are working with the PyJNIus mappings for X3DJSAIL Java library.  This work will continue on the x3d-public mailing list.  We will follow the work pattern that served us so successfully in the X3D JSON Encoding development efforts.

=================

6. Mantis issue prioritization

We plan to begin identifying 1-2 issues per week in the agenda.
