ShEx Web pages - where to find what information?

[pdehaye]

I was just at Wikidatacon and told repeatedly to join the Wednesday calls. Despite looking everywhere, I can't find any information on how to be notified of the next one. Thanks!

I created a public calendar for 2020: https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=N2VyOGMyYjJnZTVma25qMWhlYWF2YmYycHFfMjAyMDAxMDhUMTMwMDAwWiBtaWNlbGlvLmJlX2FjM2xqNzNqdTA0YTY3OGIwaHRsMXBpamRvQGc&tmsrc=micelio.be_ac3lj73ju04a678b0htl1pijdo%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL

Is there a doc listing the current status of defining a ShEx standard? Explaining why the primer is not on the W3C Standards Track.
