<jo> LC Comment Tracker

Comments on Last Call of CT Guidelines

Jo: Starting at LC-2043

LC-2043

jo: Mark Nottingham makes a comment similar to LC-2043
... saying decide if this is Guidelines or Protocol - can't be both

SeanP: agrees with Jo's sentiments that most of the document is guidelines
... we're echoing common practise rather than specifying a protocol

Bryan: but mentioning common practise is kind of recommending it as a protocol

jo: I could take this back to the comments list ...

<jo> ACTION: Jo to get back on LC-2043 and simialr pointing out what we are trying to achieve and asking for clarification [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-828 - Get back on LC-2043 and simialr pointing out what we are trying to achieve and asking for clarification [on Jo Rabin - due 2008-09-09].

jo: but I think guidelines are as far as we want to go with this document - definitely not a protocol definition

LC-2025

hgerlach: we call the document guidelines but as LC-2025 says, there is little guidance for Eduardo

<jo> ACTION: HGerlach to detail his thoughts arising from discussion of LC-2025 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-829 - Detail his thoughts arising from discussion of LC-2025 [on Heiko Gerlach - due 2008-09-09].

jo: point of the document is not to prevent egregious behaviour but to provide a framework so the parties can understand and control what happens

<hgerlach> will we agree the responses before sending it out?

Bryan: this is a summary comment, there are more comments later that define specifics

SeanP: would it be easier to hit the specific comments 1st?

jo: maybe, but good to see them in tracker's order in overview
... skipping LC-2075

<jo> http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/

LC-2065

<jo> LC-2065

Jo: I did respond to Dennis on this informally

Bryan: I'd like to review Jo's response and follow up

<jo> ACTION: Bryan to review correspondence with Dennis cf LC-2065 and to draft a) proposed changes to the document and b) a proposed response to Dennis [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-830 - Review correspondence with Dennis cf LC-2065 and to draft a) proposed changes to the document and b) a proposed response to Dennis [on Bryan Sullivan - due 2008-09-09].

Bryan: I'll follow up on the public list

LC-2018

<jo> LC-2018

jo: This is about the document's title

SeanP: there is a good point here, but I still don't know what to change the title to!

Bryan: we'd call this "Content Adaptation" rather than "Content Transformation"
... but capturing the fact that you are adapting for a limited browser might be useful in the title

jo: but "Content Adaptation" is commonly used as an origin-server technology already

<jo> Content Transformation by Proxies?

<SeanP> HTTP proxies?

hgerlach: we don't change the content, we change the layout
... not convinced we need to change the title

<hgerlach> +1

<jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Change the title of the document to: Content Transformation by HTTP Proxies: Guidelines

<hgerlach> how about transducer instead???

<SeanP> How about "Guidelines for Content Transformation by HTTP Proxies?

jo: given importance of "no-transform", transformation must be the right word

Bryan: is the word Guidelines essential?

jo: maybe not

<hgerlach> How about orientation guide?

SeanP: move Guidelines to a subtitle like "Guidelines for content providers, network operators and ..."

<jo> ACTION: SeanP to continue discussion of the title on the list [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - SeanP

<jo> ACTION: Patterson to continue discussion of the title on the list [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-831 - Continue discussion of the title on the list [on Sean Patterson - due 2008-09-09].

LC-2066

<SeanP> Another suggestion: Content Transformation by HTTP Proxies: Guidelines for CT Operators and Content Providers

<jo> (assigned to Jo)

jo: I'll respond to this

LC-2050

jo: we do distinguish between these but don't make much use of the definitions
... and may be difficult to define it formally

SeanP: possibility we could remove them? It's tricky to define formally

jo: would anybody like to see what the impact of removing the definitions is?

SeanP: yes, I'll do that

<jo> ACTION: Patterson to look at what the impact on the document would be if we removed the definitions referred to in LC-2050 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-832 - Look at what the impact on the document would be if we removed the definitions referred to in LC-2050 [on Sean Patterson - due 2008-09-09].

LC-2003

Bryan: in considering language around "user-control" I'll wait until Jo responds to LC-2003 before elaborating on this

<jo> ACTION: Jo to propose text against LC-2003 referring to the TF's earlier discussions about not referring to a Proxy's internal operation [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action07]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-833 - Propose text against LC-2003 referring to the TF's earlier discussions about not referring to a Proxy's internal operation [on Jo Rabin - due 2008-09-09].

LC-2034

<hgerlach> what is left????

jo: does anyone have particular views?
... what's left are OPTIONS and random extensions like WebDAV methods

<SeanP> OPTIONS, CONNECT, TRACE, DELETE

rob: we don't do anything to other methods

<jo> ACTION: Rob to draft a response to LC-2034 noting that the scope of CT as we mean it is limited to those methods [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action08]

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Rob

<jo> ACTION: Finean to draft a response to LC-2034 noting that the scope of CT as we mean it is limited to those methods [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/02-bpwg-minutes.html#action09]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-834 - Draft a response to LC-2034 noting that the scope of CT as we mean it is limited to those methods [on Robert Finean - due 2008-09-09].

AOB

jo: I'll chat with Francois when he's back about dividing the comments up - because we've made good progress today but finishing will take a long time at this rate

<hgerlach> OK, bye

<jo> rssagent, draft minutes

<jo> rssagent, help
