The Raleigh-Durham Web Design Group April Meetup

W3C WebApps and SVG team contact Doug Schepers has kindly offered to share his insights into HTML5 at the April meetup.

We've just had two lunchtime meetups on this topic and it seems many people haven't yet had time to study up on this and you may not be aware what is happening here:

For example, html 5 is in and xhtml 2 is out?

So we are providing a list of links to articles about html5 and we would like to encourage you to go read them and come with your opinions, pros, cons and share your thoughts.
