Validation is the cornerstone of the epub publishing process and there is one system on which nearly all epub relies – epubcheck. However, as our standardsevolve, our validation has not and epub publications meeting the most recent specification requirements aren’t always declared valid by the system of record. In order to make better epubs, we need a better epubcheck.

You can help us using your Java developer skills. Studyhttps://https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck and https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck/wiki/WorkPlan before submitting a resume, to check that you really want to spend time on that open-source,pipeline oriented codebase. You’ll have to describe the software and tooling that will be employed in the architecture and implementation work.
