ChrisL has joined #svg
10:38:34 [anthony]
... what was it about?
10:38:42 [anthony]

CL: I've looked at that
10:41:46 [anthony]
... don't think there will be any changes to the spec
10:42:16 [anthony]
... I think it's just an explanation required
10:42:30 [anthony]
ED: Is the schema something we need to do before we publish?
10:42:39 [anthony]
DS: Something we can do while we are in last call
10:42:45 [ChrisL]
Just explaining why we can't assume that there is a font with a glyph for 'a' on the system 9even though there almost always is)

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2155
10:46:00 [anthony]
ED: About adding keyboard events
10:46:05 [anthony]
DS: I've started doing that
10:46:12 [anthony]
... I noticed that we already have the stuff in there
10:46:29 [anthony]
... but we also refer to DOM 3 Events
10:46:48 [anthony]
... We said we were sub-setting things from DOM 3 Events
10:46:57 [anthony]
... I may or may not keep the sub-setting part
10:47:01 [anthony]
... I'll have that done this week

10:48:21 [anthony]
CM: This one which is changing the rest of the spec to refer to DOM 2
10:48:27 [anthony]
... and remove DOM 3 refs
10:48:32 [anthony]
... I was waiting for Doug to be done
10:48:44 [anthony]
CL: DOM 3 Events is not in the refs section
10:48:49 [anthony]
... and neither is DOM 2
10:49:00 [anthony]
... I was editing the references today
10:49:16 [anthony]
... Element traversal is a working progress
10:49:22 [anthony]
... what's happening with it?
10:49:25 [anthony]
DS: In CR
10:49:30 [anthony]
... multiple implementations
10:49:41 [anthony]
... just need to create a test suite
10:50:10 [anthony]
CL: That's the only one that says working progress in our normative refs
10:50:20 [anthony]
ED: What's the status of the test suite?
10:50:25 [anthony]
DS: There is none
10:50:34 [anthony]
... once I finish my SVG edit actions
10:50:36 [anthony]
... I'll make one
10:50:44 [anthony]
ED: Ok
10:51:06 [anthony]
ACTION-2159?
10:51:06 [trackbot]
ACTION-2159 -- Erik Dahlström to do progress event name change to Tiny 1.2 -- due 2008-08-28 -- OPEN
10:51:06 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2159
10:51:12 [anthony]
ED: I committed the event name changes
10:51:20 [anthony]
... for SVGKeyLoad and SVGProgress
10:51:53 [ed]
s/SVGKeyLoad/SVGPreLoad
10:51:58 [anthony]
... I have to ask Charles to see if we can get a common name for SVGPostLoad
10:52:09 [anthony]
... so I guess that's the only thing left
10:52:23 [anthony]
... I'd prefer if the event names were in some form of alignment
10:52:35 [anthony]
... I think it would be useful to have it in the progress events spec as well
10:52:55 [anthony]
... I'll be asking Charles because he's the editor of the progress events spec
10:53:03 [anthony]
ACTION-2164?
10:53:03 [trackbot]
ACTION-2164 -- Doug Schepers to add 'role' attribute (and informative reference to XHTML Role attribute module) and to change the content model of the title and desc elements to be text -- due 2008-08-30 -- OPEN
10:53:03 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2164
10:53:15 [anthony]
DS: I have added role and title
10:53:19 [anthony]
... I've done this
10:53:23 [anthony]
... but waiting for feedback
10:53:28 [anthony]
... on title
10:53:39 [anthony]
... from Dr Olaf and Jeff
10:53:49 [anthony]
ACTION-2174?
10:53:50 [trackbot]
ACTION-2174 -- Erik Dahlström to remove the 'this' keyword binding in the 'handler' element, and investigate if the execution of the handler content is actually like a Function object or if the contents are put in the global scope -- due 2008-08-31 -- OPEN
10:53:50 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2174
10:54:03 [anthony]
ED: I had a look at what Opera is doing for this one
10:54:12 [anthony]
... and I'm wondering if this is a good action
10:54:44 [anthony]
... Opera treats the element handler sort of like script element
10:54:49 [anthony]
... but we don't bind this
10:54:53 [anthony]
... or the arguments
10:55:03 [anthony]
... it's not really like a function in Opera
10:55:33 [anthony]
... if you define a variable in the handler it won't be defined anywhere else
10:55:43 [anthony]
CM: That's different to what Batik does
10:55:52 [anthony]
ED: I can see the point to having it as it is
10:56:04 [anthony]
... although that's not what Opera is doing currently
10:56:10 [anthony]
... it could be changed
10:56:24 [anthony]
... but I don't know when I'll get time
10:56:36 [anthony]
CM: Would be nice to see what other players do
10:56:38 [ed]
http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/test/svg/script-handler-201-t.svg
10:56:52 [anthony]
ED: So it's testing the keywords
10:56:58 [anthony]
... and scoping and so on
10:57:26 [anthony]
CM: That test the arguments?
10:57:29 [anthony]
ED: I think that was 202
10:58:29 [anthony]
... I would prefer if more implementers have more comments on this?
10:58:37 [anthony]
NH: We fail the first
10:58:49 [anthony]
... it's not equal to document
10:59:05 [anthony]
... I'm not really sure I'll have to investigate this
10:59:11 [anthony]
ED: I guess I can postpone this
10:59:19 [anthony]
... and wait for feedback on the public list
10:59:26 [anthony]
NH: Both tests?
10:59:28 [anthony]
ED: Yes both
10:59:48 [anthony]
ACTION-2176?
10:59:48 [trackbot]
ACTION-2176 -- Cameron McCormack to replace Global with Abstract View and add the reference -- due 2008-08-31 -- OPEN
10:59:48 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2176
11:00:09 [anthony]
AG: You sent an email about this?
11:00:18 [anthony]
CM: I did haven't had any replies about it
11:00:41 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/mid/20080903060135.GD21745@arc.mcc.id.au
11:00:53 [shepazu]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008JulSep/0206.html
11:01:26 [anthony]
DS: The last wording there
11:01:37 [anthony]
... that's pretty much derived from HTML5 right?
11:01:45 [anthony]
CM: Yes same sort of thing
11:02:04 [anthony]
... I guess it's not really necessary for us to go into the Window object
11:02:20 [anthony]
ED: What exactly is your suggestion?
11:02:40 [anthony]
NH: Your last sentence in the email
11:02:50 [anthony]
... we can leave but shouldn't be SVGGlobal
11:02:58 [anthony]
... necessary for us to keep
11:03:04 [anthony]
... current content will not work
11:03:18 [anthony]
CM: So they are saying gobal.document.parsexml
11:03:26 [anthony]
NH: We do that
11:03:34 [anthony]
CM: Could be left in without any problem
11:03:44 [anthony]
... if you leave that in then you don't need default view
11:03:53 [anthony]
... maybe we could subset DOM 2 Views a bit
11:04:19 [anthony]
ED: I guess sub-setting would be cleaner
11:04:39 [anthony]
NH: what would SVGGlobal inherit from?
11:04:48 [anthony]
CM: I'd think I'd prefer it not to inherit
11:05:08 [anthony]
ED: In that case is that enough information to go doing this action?
11:05:24 [anthony]
CM: That was not what the original action was to do
11:05:49 [anthony]
... it was just to replace Global with Abstract View
11:06:02 [anthony]
ED: Would referring to DOM 2 Views be ok
11:06:12 [anthony]
... subset that
11:06:22 [anthony]
CM: I has no impact on what properties are around
11:06:28 [anthony]
... just the structure
11:06:39 [anthony]
NH: I think I'm fine with that
11:06:54 [anthony]
... can you send an email with what you're going to introduce?
11:07:04 [anthony]
DS: Might be easier to make the change and send the link
11:07:13 [anthony]
CL: As long as it doesn't effect content
11:08:06 [heycam]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008JulSep/0206.html
11:08:25 [anthony]
NH: You're going to remove parent?
11:08:30 [anthony]
CM: No moving it
11:08:40 [anthony]
DS: Will this still satisfy the browser vendors?
11:08:55 [anthony]
CM: Don't know, but it will satisfy them more than before
11:09:11 [anthony]
... I could ask see what they think
11:09:59 [anthony]
RESOLUTION: Do what it says in the email sent Cameron regarding removal of SVGGlobal::parent, except don't add Default View and leave the Global attribute
11:10:18 [anthony]
CM: I can just continue my current action
11:10:34 [anthony]
ACTION-2179?
11:10:34 [trackbot]
ACTION-2179 -- Cameron McCormack to move timer from Global to the SVG Module and remove the Global Module -- due 2008-08-31 -- OPEN
11:10:34 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2179
11:10:43 [anthony]
CM: I did this one
11:10:54 [anthony]
... but I left it open because of the question about SVTimer
11:11:02 [anthony]
s/SVTimer/SVGTimer/
11:11:22 [anthony]
ED: If we are keeping it I'd prefer it to be moved to SVGTimer
11:11:48 [anthony]
CM: The name change the content
11:12:07 [anthony]
s/change/ does not change/
11:12:17 [anthony]
AG: Is that ok?
11:12:23 [anthony]
NH: I'm happy with that
11:12:39 [anthony]
CM: What's the name of the event?
11:12:52 [anthony]
... SVGTimer is the event type
11:13:15 [anthony]
ED: That's the last of the open actions set for Tiny
11:13:28 [anthony]
... I guess we should try to decide a deadline date for edits
11:13:47 [anthony]
... Doug you'll probably know the publication schedule
11:13:54 [anthony]
... is next Friday ok?
11:23:49 [anthony]
DS: Shooting for publication date of next Friday
11:24:24 [anthony]
... needs to be done well before then, 2 or 3 days before then
11:24:40 [anthony]
... everyone should have action items done before the 11th
11:25:32 [ChrisL]
publication moratorium for tpac

Topic: Test Suite
11:29:06 [anthony]
CL: I sent an email before about XMLRI
11:29:16 [anthony]
... I've finished that now
11:29:35 [anthony]
DS: Fantastic
11:29:46 [anthony]
ED: We need to make a publication of the test suite
11:30:04 [anthony]
... need to make sure the reference images are correct
11:30:12 [anthony]
... we didn't make any in the last f2f
11:30:17 [anthony]
... still a bit of work there
11:30:43 [anthony]
AE: Do we still rely on Batik to make some of the automatic reference images?
11:30:46 [anthony]
ED: I think so
11:30:52 [anthony]
... but you can drop any other binary in there
11:31:02 [anthony]
... as long as the syntax is correct
11:31:19 [anthony]
... we could use Inkscape but it wont work on any scripting ones
11:31:30 [anthony]
AE: Do we have an idea of how Batik goes on some of the new tests?
11:31:36 [anthony]
CM: Not very well
11:31:57 [anthony]
AE: We'll probably need some patch images made
11:32:35 [anthony]
... it looks like Anthony and I to do the test suite stuff
11:32:46 [heycam]
trackbot, close ACTION-2179
11:32:46 [trackbot]
ACTION-2179 Move timer from Global to the SVG Module and remove the Global Module closed
11:33:41 [anthony]
AG: I can generate a new version of the test suite and create the images
11:33:59 [anthony]
ED: So this has to be done when?
11:34:04 [anthony]
... same time as the spec?
11:34:18 [anthony]
DS: I'd prefer it be done before?
11:36:26 [anthony]
ED: I think we do have a bunch of actions left on the test suite
11:36:35 [anthony]
... but we still need to publish on a regular basis
11:36:51 [anthony]
... even if we still haven't finished all the actions we should still go ahead
11:37:09 [anthony]
AE: I think turning the crank on this
11:41:24 [anthony]
DS: Monday or Tuesday we should have the test suite ready

Topic: Removing Document::Implementation http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008JulSep/0204.html
11:42:41 [anthony]
ED: If we have some empty interfaces I don't see any reason to keep them around
11:42:55 [anthony]
... unless I hear something about keeping them around
11:43:04 [anthony]
... Cameron you can go ahead and remove them
11:43:35 [anthony]
CM: It's a pretty useless thing to have if there is nothing on the interfaces
11:44:05 [anthony]
AG: I'm ok with it
11:44:19 [anthony]
NH: I'm fine with it
11:44:24 [anthony]

CM: I could find nothing on the web about these particular names
11:46:39 [anthony]
... who worked on most of the uDOM at the start?
11:47:01 [anthony]
... I can only assume there are some IDL compiler specific things
11:47:33 [anthony]
ED: If there is no definition of what it does then I don't see a reason to keep it around
11:48:07 [anthony]
AG: So you'll just remove it from the IDL?
11:48:10 [anthony]
CM: Ok

ED: I didn't notice anyone with an action to do the change log
11:50:41 [anthony]
... and we cannot do it before all the changes are done
11:50:49 [anthony]
CM: Someone can start
11:51:24 [anthony]
... we were thinking at the F2F to add links of the diffs from the previous publication
11:51:32 [anthony]
ED: I guess that's fine for catching everything
11:51:46 [anthony]
... we also discussed getting a high level description of the change
11:51:55 [anthony]
... I did write a script for getting the diff version
11:52:06 [anthony]
... so it will fetch of all the diff HTML pages

ED: I've committed a small tool for getting all the difs
