Jo posted on ACTION-660 Reprise 16:13:07 ScribeNick: francois 16:13:30 DKA: my intention is to get to a resolution re the scope of the BP2 16:14:10 Jo: One of the things that strikes me is that we don't have in the document a clear definition of what a web application is and what it isn't 16:14:20 ... we did discuss that in Boston 16:14:29 ... about the browser sandbox or not 16:15:07 ... I think we should take some time to define precisely a web application 16:15:39 Bryan: there is a scope section which does define, based on November talks, a web application 16:15:45 I like it 16:15:57 BP2 extends the focus to Web applications generally, which means an application that is accessed and presented via Web technologies. 16:16:01 I think it can be sharpened to mention HTTP, an (X)HTML 16:16:42 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: A "Mobile Web Application" shall be defined as an application that runs inside the browser on a mobile device. Such applications often make use of scripting, CSS, and Dom manipulation. 16:16:45 -> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20080213#iddiv2126631496BP 2 Scope 16:17:39 Jo: is Chatzilla a mobile web application? 16:17:41 DKA: yes 16:17:58 -Tony 16:18:08 q+ 16:18:14 agree that we do not need to talk about "browser", since our focus is the content and server side. But we can be more specific in mentioning HTTP, XHTML, CSS, Javascript 16:18:17 q- 16:18:18 Bryan: when you say "inside the browser"... Browser technologies in general are used outside the browser 16:18:39 -MartinJ 16:18:56 DKA: Joost is a good example of a desktop web application 16:19:14 q? 16:19:31 ... but I think that's out of scope 16:19:44 Jo: I do not think this is a sufficient categorization 16:19:47 +MartinJ 16:19:50 q? 16:19:59 q+ 16:20:12 ... I don't think it's a sharp enough definition 16:20:16 From Wikipedia: In software engineering, a Web application or webapp is an application that is accessed via Web over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. 16:20:40 It has been suggested that Browser application be merged into this article or section. 16:20:54 ack jeffs 16:21:20 zakim, who is here? 16:21:20 On the phone I see Jeff (muted), DKA, jo, Magnus, francois, Ed_Mitukiewicz, drooks, [W3C-Spain], Bryan_Sullivan, yeliz?

Sullivan), and didn't mention HTTP or HTML, which seems vital 16:23:27 q+ to mention SVG, XML, the use of XMLHTTP interfaces 16:23:36 zakim, mure Jeff 16:23:36 I don't understand 'mure Jeff', jo 16:23:47 zakim, mute jeff 16:23:47 Jeff should now be muted 16:23:50 q? 16:23:54 ack bryan 16:24:00 [I don't see that w should be targetting things specifically for mobile devices rather than web, just things that are designed to work well for mobile devices as part of teh web] 16:24:30 [I agree with Chaals. Where is One Web?] 16:24:43 Bryan: we should separate web applications and content type 16:25:03 what on earth are we going to talk about that *isn't* related to HTTP and HTML 16:25:05 ... I would not limit the BP to XML, XHTML, HTML 16:25:17 ... we should not limit our scope to them 16:25:21 Actionscript ... 16:25:51 give me an example of a legitimate existing practice related to advanced mobile devices that does not relate to the technologies listed so far 16:26:01 DKA: we should focus on existing web technologies 16:26:07 q+ 16:26:14 if we can't, then I don't see what the problem is with being specific and clear about what we are, in reality, talking about anyway 16:26:35 +1 to srowen remarks 16:26:56 Present- Matt 16:26:57 how about sticking to what is enabled by the existing technologies - including specificially XHTML/HTML, CSS, DOM, ECMAscript, AJAX, SVG? 16:27:18 Jo: I think we're going to end up in circles if we don't come up with something precise 16:27:19 I'm back 16:27:37 s/specificially/specifically/ 16:27:58 DKA: we should build on the Web as a platform 16:28:15 Jo: That would seem to encompass Java applets 16:28:29 q+ 16:28:39 +1 to focusing on the web as a platform - and perhaps browsers as application containers? 16:28:40 q? 16:28:40 ack me 16:28:41 jo, you wanted to mention SVG, XML, the use of XMLHTTP interfaces 16:28:42 ack jo 16:28:48 DKA: it should be about using web technologies without plugins 16:28:56 ack bryan 16:29:18 q+ to say the plugin definition excludes SVG and a bunch of other stuff that we would want to include 16:29:35 Bryan: In general, regardless of where the application runs, if it operates as a browser, then it is a browser, and is under the scope 16:30:07 ... The applications that use HTTP as a transport and windows fall in the scope. 16:30:11 q+ to say that web applications include services that are exposed via web technologies. If they are intended for mobile usage they are game 16:30:12 Agree, don't care whether we're talking about user agents based on MIDP or Symbian or ham sandwiches. But we seem to be talking about HTML/CSS/HTTP user agents, so let's say that much. Don't say "browser" if you don't want, I agree that is not necessary. 16:30:18 ... We're really talking about user experience 16:30:22 ... of web applications 16:30:25 q+ also to wonder if we are talking about applications that are based on the DOM for their opertation 16:30:31 ... that's the charter I believe 16:30:34 http://www.openajax.org/whitepapers/Introducing%20Ajax%20and%20OpenAjax.html#What_is_Ajax 16:30:38 q? 16:30:41 ack kai 16:30:41 Kai, you wanted to say that web applications include services that are exposed via web technologies.

I like Bryan's initial definition 16:31:29 s/Jeffs/Kai 16:31:36 ... I don't find it too general 16:31:37 q? 16:31:40 ack jo 16:31:40 jo, you wanted to say the plugin definition excludes SVG and a bunch of other stuff that we would want to include and to wonder if we are talking about applications that are based 16:31:44 ... on the DOM for their opertation 16:31:50 Final remark: let's start by listing out best practices. I posted 5-6 to the list. At the end of the day, if we find that the real, good practices we can mention concern only HTTP/HTML/etc. then we can comfortably state that *that* is what we are talking about. Sure, let's not decide that a priori if that is unpalatable. 16:32:19 Jo: I'm wondering whether we're talking about applications that are using the DOM 16:32:31 DKA: that makes sense 16:33:17 ... is there a W3C definition that we could use? 16:33:51 ...
