16:09:13 <fantasai> Peter: Melinda's here, so let's get her item done
16:09:21 <fantasai> Topic: Melinda's CSS2.1 Issue
16:09:37 <melinda> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Jul/0141.html
16:09:37 <plinss> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0265.html
16:10:14 <Zakim> +??P34
16:10:18 <fantasai> Elika: those seem to be 2 completely separate issues
16:10:38 <melinda> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2008AprJun/0303.html
16:11:33 <fantasai> Melinda: I'm looking at things from testing perspective, and this section raises some questions
16:11:36 <fantasai> (2.3)
16:11:45 <fantasai> Melinda: Looks to me the whole section should be labelled informative
16:11:51 <fantasai> Melinda: given that it's one possible model
16:11:55 <fantasai> Melinda: I thas several problems
16:12:00 <fantasai> Melinda: It says parsing is out-of-scope
16:12:08 <fantasai> Melinda: I don't think parsing is out of scope
16:12:20 <fantasai> Melinda: It also says any discernable output is out of scope
16:12:38 <fantasai> Melinda: so I would conclude that discernable output is not something we can test in the test suite
16:12:54 <fantasai> Melinda: but formatting structure is in scope -- how would be test that?
16:13:08 <fantasai> Melinda proposes:
16:13:14 <fantasai>         1.  Label the section as "Informative".
16:13:14 <fantasai>         2.  Remove the verbiage at the end of the section regarding what's in and out of scope.
16:13:17 <fantasai> If the group feels that the scoping information is valuable and should be retained, then I would suggest:
16:13:20 <fantasai>         1.  Change "Step 1" to "The generation of a document tree"
16:13:22 <fantasai>         2.  Change the second line:
16:13:25 <fantasai>                 - Steps 2-5 are addressed by the bulk of this specification.
16:13:27 <fantasai>                 + Parsing the source document, Steps 2-4 and Step 6 are addressed by the bulk of this specification.
16:13:30 <fantasai>         3.  Change the third line: s/6/5/.
16:13:51 <fantasai> Bert: I think there's a misunderstanding on step one
16:14:00 <fantasai> Bert: Step 1 is about parsing the document, not parsing the style sheet
16:14:09 <fantasai> Melinda: I don't see that in there
16:14:15 <fantasai> Bert: It's talking about the source document
16:14:28 <fantasai> David: The spec is very careful to never refer to the style sheet as the document
16:14:37 <fantasai> David: The document is always the document the style sheet is applying to
16:14:56 <fantasai> Bert: Otherwise, I think it can be explained why step 6 is out of scope
16:15:07 <fantasai> Bert: I don't mind how you interpret it, if you make it informative
16:15:18 <fantasai> Bert: it is effectively informative anyway
16:16:36 <fantasai> No one objects to making this section informative
16:17:29 <fantasai> Bert: for 6, what it's saying is that how the page gets rendered -- whether by api calls to graphics system, emitting PDF, etc,  -- that is out of scope
16:17:49 <fantasai> Bert: Changes are, make section informative
16:18:04 <fantasai> Bert: and remove last three sentences
16:18:23 <fantasai> Elika: might need to be careful not to make 2.3.1 informative
16:18:37 <fantasai> ACTION: Elika file an issue about this
16:18:37 <trackbot> Created ACTION-77 - File an issue about this [on Elika Etemad - due 2008-07-16].
16:18:52 <fantasai> RESOLVED: Proposal accepted 
16:19:08 <fantasai> Topic: Media Queries
16:19:26 <fantasai> Zakim, who is noisy?
16:19:36 <Zakim> fantasai, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: plinss (49%), Bert (9%), Melinda_Grant (36%), anne (8%)
16:19:51 <fantasai> Peter: There were some comments on the comments last week
16:19:57 <fantasai> Anne: I haven't gone through them yet
16:20:27 <fantasai> Elika: anything to discuss, or wait until Anne processes feedback
16:20:53 <fantasai> Anne will be on vacation for three weeks starting next thursday, probably won't get it done before then
16:21:01 <fantasai> Anne: Main thing was feedback from dbaron
16:21:09 <fantasai> Anne: I'm not really sure how to deal with it
16:21:34 <fantasai> David: my concern about the error-handling thing is that we have that error-handling interoperably implemented
16:21:45 <fantasai> David: you're proposing making a significant change I'm not sure is better
16:21:55 <fantasai> Anne: It's a change from implementations, not from previous draft
16:22:08 <fantasai> David: We're discussing what happens if you have a syntax error inside an expression
16:22:24 <fantasai> David: anything you don't recognize inside a parenthesized expression
16:22:57 <fantasai> Elika: I think the media query should be dropped.
16:23:32 <fantasai> Elika: I don't mind treating unknown media types as false, but I think invalid syntax and media queries should be ignored
16:23:49 <fantasai> David: So, if we say that if an expression has something unknown inside it then it's false
16:24:07 <fantasai> David: Then either the query or the negation of the query needs to be true
16:25:23 <fantasai> David: the currently-implemented behavior was tested in Acid 3
16:25:32 <fantasai> Anne: It still doesn't make sense.
16:25:38 <fantasai> Anne: The old draft said always false
16:25:46 <fantasai> Anne: Always false doesn't become true when negated
16:26:11 <fantasai> Anne quotes from the spec
16:26:31 <fantasai> David: I guess I'm ok with it as it is then
16:27:09 <fantasai> Anne: I don't really want that the serialized form to contain invalid values
16:27:36 <fantasai> David: You need to talk to hixie about getting Acid 3 changed
16:28:17 <fantasai> Anne: I believe Acid 3 will be changed for some SVG feature anyway
16:28:26 <fantasai> Anne: Implementors are probably ok, since from what I heard it's easy either way
16:28:52 <fantasai> Peter: I think the important thing here is to make sure the behavior is best for forwards-compatibility
16:31:56 <fantasai> Discussion of treatment of unknown media types
16:32:18 <fantasai> David doesn't want to get into the 'aural' vs 'speech' mess
16:32:39 <fantasai> RESOLVED: Unknown media *types* are treated as false: when negated become true.
16:33:02 <fantasai> RESOLVED: Otherwise, invalid media queries are dropped.
16:33:47 <fantasai> Steve: The applies clause had groups named, and I don't know where those are defined.
16:33:57 <fantasai> Anne: They're in CSS2.1 in the Media Types section.
16:34:23 <fantasai> Anne: 7.3.1 introduces Media Groups
16:34:57 <fantasai> Melinda: That section is informative. Does that still work?
16:35:11 <fantasai> Elika: That line in the property definitions is informative, too
16:35:38 <fantasai> Topic: Marquee Module
16:35:58 <fantasai> Elika: I still need to review in detail the definitions and how they relate to writing-mode.
16:36:15 <fantasai> Anne: I'd like to see the relation of marquee and overflow-x and overflow-y addressed.
16:36:25 <fantasai> Anne: I've said this several times before, I don't know why Bert keeps avoiding the issue.
16:36:33 <fantasai> Anne: overflow-x and overflow-y are already implemented
16:36:37 <Zakim> -??P34
16:36:47 <fantasai> Anne: It would be better to address this interaction in the spec than leaving it to implementations to figure out.
16:36:47 <anne> Zakim, who is on the phone?
16:36:47 <Zakim> On the phone I see plinss, Molly_Holzschlag, fantasai, Bert, Arron, Melinda_Grant, George, David_Baron, Ming, sylvaing, +1.408.981.aabb, jason_cranfordtea, anne
16:37:41 <Zakim> +??P20
16:37:50 <fantasai> Zakim, 1.408 is Steve
16:37:50 <Zakim> sorry, fantasai, I do not recognize a party named '1.408'
16:38:01 <fantasai> Zakim, +1.408.981 is SteveZ
16:38:01 <Zakim> +SteveZ; got it
16:38:03 <anne> Zakim, ??P is howcome
16:38:03 <Zakim> +howcome; got it
16:38:12 <anne> Zakim, who is on the phone?
16:38:12 <Zakim> On the phone I see plinss, Molly_Holzschlag, fantasai, Bert, Arron, Melinda_Grant, George, David_Baron, Ming, sylvaing, SteveZ, jason_cranfordtea, anne, howcome
16:38:54 <fantasai> Bert: Can we set a deadline for review of Marquee when we decide to publish it?
16:39:18 <fantasai> Anne: I'm fine with publishing as a working draft, but not with leaving out overflow-x overflow-y
16:39:36 <fantasai> Bert: I'm fine to write a draft with that in it for you, but I don't want Marquee to depend on that
16:40:03 <fantasai> Anne: But the draft should address their interaction
16:40:19 <fantasai> Anne: There are several implementations that support <marquee> and overflow-x and overflow-y
16:40:31 <anne> (I believe Opera actually implements the -wap-marquee stuff too, but I haven't tested it.)
16:41:00 <fantasai> Molly: IIRC there were some i18n issues about those
16:41:06 <anne> And with several above I mean, Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, and Safari
16:41:25 <fantasai> Molly: from TPAC F2F
16:41:57 <fantasai> Elika: Are overflow-x and overflow-y absolute or relative?
16:42:03 <fantasai> Anne: I think Markus said they were absolute
16:43:17 <fantasai> Peter: So, what I'm hearing is that Anne wants the interaction of overflow-x and overflow-y and marquee defined
16:44:03 <fantasai> Peter: And Bert is concerned that adding overflow-x and overflow-y will slow down the module
16:44:39 <fantasai> Anne: I don't care where overflow-x and overflow-y are defined, but I want the marquee spec to say /if/ overflow-x and overflow-y are supported, this is how they interact with marquee
16:44:53 <fantasai> Elika: You could put it in and mark overflow-x and overflow-y at risk.
16:45:12 <fantasai> Elika: Then at least the interaction would be defined. And it won't hold back the module because if it's a problem we can drop it
16:45:59 <fantasai> Bert: Marquee basically replaces a scrollbar
16:47:08 <fantasai> Bert: If there is a scrollbar, then overflow-style can make it a marquee
16:47:15 <fantasai> Bert: If there is no scrollbar, it has no effect
16:47:46 <fantasai> Bert explains how marquee works
16:48:04 <fantasai> F2F minutes: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2007OctDec/0267.html
16:48:13 <fantasai> David: I'm not seeing what you just said in the spec
16:48:28 <fantasai> David: It needs to say when you get marquee, for which values of overflow and overflow-style
16:49:47 <fantasai> David: If the answer is, you get a marquee when a scrolling mechanism is present, then you need to say that.
16:50:01 <fantasai> David: Then give an example using different values of overflow.
16:50:47 <fantasai> Anne: What does it mean if there is no overflow, but overflow: scroll is specified?
16:50:59 <fantasai> Anne: would you get a marquee?
16:51:13 <fantasai> Anne: that's probably what you want
16:52:27 <fantasai> Peter: How much time to people need to review?
16:52:34 <fantasai> Anne: Can the draft be moved to public CVS?
16:54:16 <fantasai> Peter: Ok, one week.
16:54:31 <fantasai> Topic: Logo Contest
16:54:37 <fantasai> Jason: I've got the creative brief done.
16:54:47 <fantasai> Jason: I wanted to launch it in conjunction for the site launch
16:54:48 <Zakim> -David_Baron
16:55:00 <fantasai> Jason: Leave a space for the logo, e.g. dotted line "logo goes here"
16:55:17 <fantasai> Jason: Been talking about site, planning to have a soft launch end of July
16:55:21 <Zakim> -anne
16:55:27 <fantasai> Jason: Hard launch around F2F in August
16:55:50 <fantasai> SteveZ: Did you talk to Ian Jacobs at all?
16:56:02 <fantasai> Steve: There's also a redesign of the W3C site going on
16:56:07 <fantasai> Jason: ok, I'll talk to him
16:56:32 <fantasai> Molly: I like the idea, building bridges to community
16:57:25 <fantasai> Melinda: How are we going to choose the logo?
16:57:35 <fantasai> Jason: I've got some rules written up, I'll get those out
16:58:10 <fantasai> Jason: Basically the idea is that we'd vet entries for anything that was obviously inappropriate
16:58:26 <fantasai> Jason: We'd open it up to voting here at AOL, allow the public to choose the logo that they desire
16:59:34 <fantasai> Elika: weren't we going to have the public narrow it down to five, and then some group picks?
17:02:13 <fantasai> some discussion about different ways to pick
17:03:18 <Bert> Ian Jacobs
17:03:23 <fantasai> Agreement that logos public votes on should be everything except ones we cannot use, not some artificially restricted set
17:03:48 <fantasai> Steve, Molly: Need to talk with Ian Jacobs about this
17:05:16 <Zakim> -Arron
17:06:07 <fantasai> Elika: need to present winner to W3C to see if it's acceptable -- maybe it violates some trademark
17:06:16 <fantasai> Elika: then we pick 2nd' place
17:06:24 <Zakim> -sylvaing
17:06:25 <Zakim> -SteveZ
17:06:25 <Zakim> -howcome
17:06:27 <Zakim> -Ming
17:06:29 <Zakim> -plinss

17:09:50 <Bert> jason_cranfordtea, fantasai, shall we set aside some specific days for working on the site?
17:10:01 <jason_cranfordtea> jason_cranfordtea has left #css
17:10:05 <fantasai> heh
17:10:27 <fantasai> Bert: we will need to do that in preparation for the site's hard launch
17:10:55 <fantasai> Bert: I think the easiest way forward is to gradually prep the site contents by moving over to the template system
17:11:00 <fantasai> Bert: under the current design
17:11:12 <fantasai> Bert: and then when the Jason's design is ready, we just change the templates
17:12:00 <fantasai> Bert: so you and I can maybe spend an hour or two discussing the template system and all your other scripts and how they fit together
17:12:56 <fantasai> Bert: I already have an SSI template system set up on my server that works quite well
17:13:06 <fantasai> Bert: I am not sure about how to handle the translations, though
17:13:11 <Bert> I'd like to try and replace SSI by our "SBP" (Script-Based Publishing), so files are expanded on CVS checkin, rather than on HTTP GET.
17:13:47 <Bert> SSI works, but our servers aren't that big, compared to the load they get.
17:15:40 <Bert> But yes, it shoul dbe possible to change the structure and the style independently from each other.
17:16:22 <fantasai> We'll want to be able to do that [sent]
17:16:51 <fantasai> What is SBP?
17:16:55 <fantasai> is it a template system?
17:17:01 <fantasai> or does it just hook up scripts?
17:17:14 <fantasai> If it just hooks up scripts, then I want to hook it up to Perl's Template Toolkit
17:17:24 <fantasai> rather than inventing a template system
17:18:03 <Bert> It is a database of associations between files and scripts: when a new version of the file is checked in, the script is executed.
17:18:37 <Bert> It can execute anything, in principle. I have it hooked to Makefiles, e.g..
17:19:10 <fantasai> ok
17:19:13 <fantasai> this is going to be a mess, then
17:19:25 <fantasai> we'll have to have source and output files littered all over the CVS tree :(
17:19:31 <Bert> I also use cron instead of SBP for some cases. Sometimes there isn't a clear trigger and then cron works better.
17:23:32 <Bert> A mess: yes, we have to try and not invent too much new. The best system would be one that is both already used at W3C and well-known elsewhere...
17:24:07 <Bert> SSI is a very old system, so that's good.
17:24:29 <fantasai> Right, and it's adequate for what we want to do
17:24:32 <fantasai> you're saying we can't use it
17:24:33 <fantasai> right?
17:24:40 <fantasai> So we need something different
17:25:02 <Bert> I can't get a definite answer from our systems people.
17:25:19 <Bert> We can use it, but nobody is able to predict what impact it will have.
17:26:28 <Bert> By far the most problematic traffic is for DTDs and schemas, put the CSS pages are fairly popular, too.
17:27:19 <Bert> The Core Styles are very popular and they have been using SSI for ten years or so, and the server hasn't melted.
17:30:23 <fantasai> Ok, well
17:33:27 <Bert> OK, nothing depends on the client, so it will be possible to optimize away SSI if necessary.
17:33:37 <fantasai> ok
17:34:11 <fantasai> so, would it work to try replacing /Style/CSS/Test/ with templatized pages?
17:34:14 <fantasai> using SSI?
17:34:55 <Bert> Not right now, but I'll ask the systeam to enable SSI for that directory.
17:35:26 <fantasai> ok
17:35:37 <fantasai> anything else I'd need to consider?
17:36:33 <Bert> Not based on what you sent me.
17:37:21 <fantasai> k
