15:05:32 <DKA> zakim, who is making noise?
15:05:42 <Zakim> DKA, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: jeffs (13%), francois (68%)
15:05:50 <DKA> zakim, mute jeffs
15:05:50 <Zakim> jeffs should now be muted
15:06:00 <jeffs> tnx
15:06:35 <Bryan> Francois: Making progress, with more problems arising. Difficult to speed things up, trying to get ready for FPWD. Editor's call next week, depending upon progress.
15:06:47 <SeanP> SeanP has joined #bpwg
15:07:12 <Bryan> ... in the current draft there are many red boxes showing issues that need resolution.
15:07:18 <francois> -> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/080313 last CT draft
15:08:35 <Zakim> +SeanP
15:08:41 <Bryan> ... there is one big issue but the little problems take time, e.g. detection of browsers and non-browsers. These sort of issues need more discussions, raise concerns/issues, etc.
15:10:02 <Bryan> ... from 3.1.2 and beyond need work.On 4/3 we should be ready to review and make a decision on public draft.
15:10:14 <Bryan> Dan: any other issues?
15:11:08 <DKA> q?
15:11:13 <Bryan> Francois: TF activity is good, no need to discuss other things here.
15:11:46 <Bryan> Dan: re the Mobile OK Pro TF, update is requested
15:12:30 <Bryan> Dan: but with Kai not present, we will have to wait.

15:14:04 <francois> Bryan: small update, I've yet to find cristallized things to add to the document
15:14:27 <Zakim> + +0496151aadd
15:14:29 <francois> ... I included some of Sean's Ajax techniques
15:14:40 <DKA> q?
15:14:42 <francois> ... 5.11.1: a little bit of update
15:15:27 <francois> ... In "provide alternatives to Ajax", I have a ref to http://thinkingandmaking.com/entries/63
15:15:43 <francois> ... It would be really useful if someone could have a look at it
15:15:51 <francois> ... and crystallize it
15:16:15 <francois> DKA: volunteer to turn that into "How to do it"?
15:16:20 <jeffs> want me to?

15:17:19 <francois> jeffs: If you want me to take a look at this specific section (5.9.4), I'll do it over the week-end
15:17:50 <francois> Bryan: jeffs, I think they have some good ideas, I just don't know how to express it.

15:18:22 <francois> ACTION: jeff to take a look at the ref in 5.9.4 and summarize it
15:18:22 <trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - jeff
15:18:27 <francois> ACTION: Sonstein to take a look at the ref in 5.9.4 and summarize it
15:18:28 <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-719 - Take a look at the ref in 5.9.4 and summarize it [on Jeffrey Sonstein - due 2008-03-27].
15:19:23 <francois> Bryan: One exchange with francois which may be good: generalize "Minimize external script files" to "Minimize external files"
15:19:36 <francois> ... in 5.5.6, not done in latest draft
15:20:02 <francois> ... Very small change, but the issue of caching is an important one.
15:20:24 <francois> ... In summary, I made a small update, if I missed anything, feel free to tell me
15:20:49 <francois> s/, if I missed/ based on the discussions of the mailing-list, if I missed/
15:21:10 <francois> DKA: that's where actions to come up with BPs could be useful. I have one actually.
15:21:46 <francois> Bryan: one question: we had two inputs from ETRI: one about the ADC and the seamless paper.
15:22:07 <francois> ... I didn't exactly know what to do with that, and just turned them into general statements
15:22:21 <francois> ... It would be useful to expand them
15:23:16 <francois> DKA: Yes, I think we need more text in there. The best thing would be to raise this as an issue.
15:23:57 <francois> ACTION: Dan to raise an issue on extending BPs on ADC and seamless Korean inputs
15:23:57 <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-720 - Raise an issue on extending BPs on ADC and seamless Korean inputs [on Daniel Appelquist - due 2008-03-27].
15:24:25 <francois> Bryan: about improving DDC, where does that fit?
15:24:36 <francois> DKA: we agreed there would be no DDC in the document.
15:25:28 <francois> ... I think we're already addressing the Korean proposal here.
15:26:20 <jeffs> looking for 5.9.4 reference in draft but not finding it... anyone point me to it?
15:27:14 <francois> Bryan: device classification and device properties that may be important to request using the DDR.
15:27:21 <francois> ... Any help on that would be useful.
15:27:22 <Kai> Kai has joined #bpwg
15:27:36 <DKA> zakim, who is here?

15:28:57 <Zakim> Kai, you wanted to ask about ddc
15:29:44 <francois> Bryan: was trying to find actionable items about both Appendix A and B (Best Practice Dependent Device Properties and Classification of Devices)
15:29:44 <jeffs> looking for 5.9.4 URI reference in draft but not finding it... anyone point me to it?
15:30:13 <jeffs> thanks
15:30:28 <francois> Kai: could someone remind me why we decided against ADC?
15:30:59 <francois> DKA: [explaining the decision]. We've gone back and forth on that one. I don't want to do that once again.
15:31:36 <francois> ... DDC, the fact that we put it in BP1, the fact that it was misunderstood by our Korean friends, typically show it probably wasn't a good idea
15:32:17 <francois> Kai: I just have the feeling that ADC is what people need. I think it's a mistake, making the problem worse, rather than solving anything.
15:32:46 <francois> DKA: we can open an issue on that Kai if you want to
15:33:04 <francois> ... I think we structured the doc in BP2 so that we don't need an ADC.
15:33:39 <francois> Kai: I think the issue is a good idea. I'll raise one not to have the group lose time on this.
15:33:57 <Kai> topic: mobileOK Pro
15:34:01 <francois> ScribeNick: Bryan
15:34:04 <francois> Scribe: Bryan
15:34:08 <Bryan> Topic: Mobile OK Pro
15:35:04 <Bryan> Kai: The London F2F was held, not strongly attended but very good progress made. Tackled more stringent repeatable test requirements.
15:36:28 <Bryan> ... Interesting discussions about Mobile OK Pro and BP2, e.g. do we want RecTrack for Pro or remain a note; in the end creating guidelines imply room to comply.
15:36:49 <Bryan> ... Good progress was made on interpreting test results.
15:37:37 <Bryan> ... an updated document is available, but with 5 or 6 tests updated, unsure whether to put it on the website
15:37:52 <Bryan> Dan: proposes to put a new draft on the website
15:39:12 <Bryan> Kai: appeal to all for feedback when the new version is posted; on the text differences, and if the type of tests is valuable and we should proceed in this manner
15:39:32 <Bryan> Dan: will you send an email for input?
15:39:35 <Bryan> Kai: Yes
15:39:55 <Kai_> Kai_ has joined #bpwg
15:40:24 <Bryan> Dan: re the Note vs RecTrack, the BP1 was  RecTrack but non-normative; Mobile OK was normative. A note is less potent, so maybe this should be on the RecTrack 
15:40:50 <Zakim> +[IPcaller]
15:40:55 <Bryan> Kai: Negative on publishing as a note, but should remain on plan for RecTrack
15:41:00 <DKA> zakim, who is here?

15:41:07 <jo> zakim, IPCaller is me
15:41:07 <Zakim> +jo; got it
15:41:26 <Bryan> Kai: Yes, and some should be supportable by checker
15:41:28 <Kai> Kai has joined #bpwg
15:42:29 <Bryan> Dan: Jo, anything to add on the Pro F2F?
15:42:59 <Bryan> Jo: not other than the general discussions
15:43:50 <Bryan> Jo: thought Pro could be made more machine testable by incorporating BP2
15:44:00 <Kai> Kai has joined #bpwg
15:44:03 <Bryan> Dan: is there an issue or action to move that forward?
15:45:29 <Bryan> Kai: suggests to resolve subjectivity of the tests, taking that away. Also repeatability. Addressing those first is proposed, then address Pro as a whole e.g. relation to BP2
15:45:39 <jeffs> firmly agree
15:46:16 <Bryan> Kai: no proposed actions other than what is being done
15:47:20 <jo> Topic: Korean Task Force
15:47:21 <Bryan> Topic: idea of having a Korean TF
15:48:11 <jo> s/Topic: idea of having a Korean TF//
15:48:12 <Bryan> Dan: there were ideas of having a focus group to address Korean needs, meeting in Korea, able to report and interact with the group
15:48:39 <Bryan> Dan: trying to get that idea going

15:51:28 <yeliz> yeliz has joined #bpwg
15:51:51 <Bryan> Francois: the document is long, related to analysis of AJAX performance, conclusion is that things are slow, and there is wide variance in performance
15:52:25 <jo> ACTION-696?
15:52:25 <trackbot-ng> ACTION-696 -- François Daoust to summarise the U Helsinki masters thesis on Mobile Ajax performance with a view to including some aspects into BP 2 -- due 2008-03-11 -- OPEN
15:52:25 <trackbot-ng> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/actions/696
15:52:40 <Bryan> ... there seems to be some interesting material to include or reference; not anything new necessarily, but some ideas about efficiency for performance purposes
15:53:42 <Bryan> ... we can use it as emphasis for what we have written. Extracted some info from a Yahoo document, not sure if it is related to BP or not, e.g. reduce DNS lookups
15:53:50 <Bryan> q+
15:54:31 <Bryan> ... not sure if these are BP for mobile, but in the constrained environment this make more sense
15:54:35 <DKA> ack bryan
15:54:35 <francois> ack Bryan
15:55:47 <Bryan> Bryan: this is usually an issue for non-proxied browsers (few) and specialized web applications, but it may be useful to look at
15:56:03 <Kai_> Kai_ has joined #bpwg
15:56:29 <Bryan> Francois: one issue, re use of HTTP streaming, using persistent HTTP connections, may be valuable
15:56:33 <jo> (keep-alive)
15:57:16 <Bryan> Dan: not sure if these are elaborations, re the Seoul discussion we want clear developer focused details
15:57:42 <jeffs> persistent connections with a device that is mobile may be problematical
15:57:51 <Bryan> Bryan: support the reference to HTTP keep-alive, this is a common optimization that we recommend
15:58:59 <Bryan> Dan: are you suggesting to reference this document?
15:59:43 <Bryan> Francois: other than linking them to the existing BPs, its one more external source in the same direction
16:00:22 <Bryan> Francois: don't recommend directly linking each BP to the external documents, just as a reference
16:01:16 <Bryan> Dan: we will give Bryan an action to review Francois's report to extract as possible
