Message-ID: <7319042D-B8F3-4265-AAC3-B278C5967FB5@makedatamakesense.com> S5 is an HTML-based slideshow system introduced by Eric Meyer (with help of several other people, including Tantek) back in 2006: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ The basic idea is markup like
and
are read by JavaScript and converted into a usable slideshow. There are several implementations of S5, but no active coordination today. Meanwhile slideshow hosting sites, like Scribd, are moving away from Flash and towards HTML as a publishing format: http://www.scribd.com/doc/30964170/Scribd-in-HTML5 The S5 project is in the public domain, and I think it would be valuable to have a central organization coordinating documentation, implementations, and potential changes to S5. As I'm sure you've already guessed, I think microformats.org would be a good place to do that.

As I'm sure you've already guessed, I think microformats.org would be a good place to do that. Thoughts? Scribd's HTML5 publishing as one example, S5's JavaScript tool and also the common use case of ?printing? slides to PDF for digital distribution, sharing, republishing also seems like a good case for shared mark-up. One useful early example reference would be the original Opera Show format that inspired S5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Show_Format.)

I agree. I quite like this idea, I think standardising on this translation would be really interesting and useful. Are there other html-based slideshow systems out there?

There are a ton of S5 implementations for different frameworks, e.g.: http://drupal.org/project/s5 http://github.com/myles/django-s5 http://plone.org/products/s5 http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/S5Plugin Ha, I just found more here: http://microformats.org/wiki/s5-tools -- Scott Reynen MakeDataMakeSense.com
