Agenda Details

This agenda doesn't have a crisp list of required reading; some drafts/messages of note are linked directly, but in some cases the path is indirect via a tracker action page. Perhaps this will get better 1 Dec when a number of actions for this meeting are due, but we make no guarantees.

record keeping note: we recently introduced tracker products for the themes established at the June meeting in Cambridge: web applications, metadata, html 5 review.

1. Convene, review agenda
   • ACTION-330 on Dan Connolly: Prepare Dec f2f agenda in collaboration with Noah etc. - pending review
     • Goal: establish success critera for work on Web Application Architecture
       • form of the work?
       • results more than the sum of the parts?
       • AWWW Vol 2 and/or updates to Vol 1?
       • TOC/outline
     • Goal: clarify our interest in metdata
     • Suggestion: collaborative agenda management using Zakim's agenda tracking:
       1. Dan seeds the list for the day from the agenda prepared by the chair
       2. Participants use "agenda + ..." to make agenda requests; e.g.
          • refinements of broad topics
          • things you want to get back to in this session (i.e. before a break)
          • things you want to get back to today
          • things you want to get back to before the meeting ends
       3. At his earliest convenience, e.g. during a break, the chair should consider prioritizing agenda requests by reordering the agenda. Participants may reorder the agenda in consultation with the chair.
       4. At the end of the day, items are either promoted to the summary above for use the next day or dropped.
