It will have RDFa support via GRDDL as soon as I complete my action, but it would be a big performance win to have native RDFa parsing for tools like Tabulator 15:44:35 Manu: is it our goal to have every browser parse RDFa? 15:44:40 Jeremy: yes, yes, yes :) 15:44:56 Steven: I'm not sure that it really matters in the short term 15:45:08 ... it would be fine if they did, but life will go on if they don't 15:46:19 Steven: there are extension points in browsers, so you can implement lots of functionality without the browser developers having to sign on 15:46:36 ... we should not predicate our success on having to get the browsers to sign up 15:46:50 Manu: so javascript and client side development our path? 15:46:55 Steven: yes 15:47:07 ... we saw the same sort of reaction in the early days of SVG and XSLT 15:48:18 Ralph: maybe RDFa API for Javascript is low-hanging fruit? 15:48:35 Steven: similar things are being discussed in the Backplane Incubator Group 15:48:37 (I am convinced by Steven's comments) 15:48:50 ... they're deciding that the way forward is to do APIs 15:50:07 Manu: some of the core work we're dealing with at DigitalBazaar is hampered by the lack of standard APIs to triples 15:50:58 Ralph: there's also the widget factory stuff 15:51:23 i/Manu: over the/scribenick: ralphs 15:51:41 Topic: Documentation on Wiki 15:51:47 Manu: who's been updating the wiki? 15:51:54 [no voices] 15:52:21 Manu: I'm interested in getting the discussion started on [public-rdfa] as that makes it much easier to update the wiki 15:52:37 Shane: the only thing I plan to do is the HTML4/5+RDFa page 15:52:47 Steven: I plan to do some updates to the implementations page 15:53:02 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2008/08/21-rdfa-minutes.html RalphS 15:53:12 Manu: do we have enough of a framework in the wiki now? 15:53:27 Shane: not really but it will come with the growth of the community and continued evangelism 15:53:49 Manu: I could flesh out the tutorial section a bit more based on experience from microformats 15:54:59 ...
