15:08:03 TOPIC: TPAC Presentation 15:08:18 CW: title not finalized 15:08:54 q+ to ask what "RIA" is, and does the audience know? 15:09:10 CW: viewed as XG talk on state-of-art -- gave panel discussion in 2006, want to update; may be too inward looking; XG process not relevant - focus on bigger challanges on building better web apps using W3C recs to do that 15:09:34 CW: opportunity to use W3C techs to perform demo 15:09:53 CW: goal is use of w3c standards 15:10:00 GJR: yes, that makes sense to me 15:10:10 JJ: makes sense to me, too 15:10:32 John_Boyer has joined #backplane 15:10:37 CW: modularity and abstraction in title - want to stress working together and working across working groups 15:11:18 CW: open RIA - positioning w3c frameworks to others; model comes down to abstraction, need final puch and are we catching themes we need to cover 15:11:40 +John_Boyer 15:13:01 CW: step back and broaden discussion -- threads from W3C standard to open libraries 15:13:42 CW: second page: have opportunity to pull techs together... couple of things to do: ..." -- focus on what we've done (alligning declarative and data models) 15:14:14 CW: place for JB to address M12n; streamlined syntax for XForms 15:14:56 CW: 2 categories of themes: modularity and abstraction (set of underlying concepts that provide bridges forward and backwards 15:15:16 CW: from XG PoV, how we are using these aspects to provide concrete examples 15:16:07 CW: data-oriented backplane (data as API) - SMIL example (can run live); simple VoiceXML (uses same data model); and ODF Dojo+XHTML (using data model to bridge tech) 15:16:18 CW: model-link coordination pattern from JJ's paper 15:16:56 q- 15:17:13 CW: model view backplane: leveraging abstracts as wrapper around framework specific widgets (YUI calendar control) - how generic infrastructure can be bound to provide rich experience, and accessibility 15:17:36 CW: component-free APIs; modularity; simple examples; what will do when stuff comes together 15:17:40 JB: great overview 15:18:08 JB: data backplane - dojo and XHTML -- how you are doing something; in data backplane category because of what XG is doing now 15:18:26 JB: call ODF+XHTML through Dojo and put in MVC 15:19:07 JB: mixing 2 data collections: ODF and XHTML -- currently through data layer only; data level integration can be shown now - ODF and XForms can potentially share common model; promote down one level 15:19:18 CW: gladly add that -- patent issues? 15:19:45 CW: was ODF and XHTML - scrubbed because dojo surface control without triggering IPR concerns 15:20:09 JB: papers just finished addressed making a form and an ODF document work together through XForms model 15:20:16 CW: like to talk about that more offline 15:20:40 JB: both views shown to viewer at same time; current limitations in ODF led to one view at a time 15:20:49 CW: better example, but scrubbed due to IPR concerns 15:21:05 CW: ODF in broader community as namespace that makes sense for interactive documents 15:22:28 JJ: acronyms - start off with screen shots of vague application sketches of types of things we want to do - even if don't know what ARIA, dojo, or SMIL is, can still understand example 15:22:39 CW: what about flipping it around? start with examples? 15:23:02 CW: show stuff happening then examine internal structure; if want to motivate internal structure, maybe that first 15:23:30 JJ: demo will be good -- whet appetite up front with frame-of-reference: why combine all technologies in first place? 15:24:00 CW: bunch of diff techs coming into play - want to share info richly across them; then loop back and address issues that have arisen and what we are doing to address them 15:24:27 JJ: give the 300,000 foot overview - goals in slide from internal PoV - why do we want a framework needs to be explained 15:25:01 CW: here is internal diagram of page - will probably overwhelm; whet appetite first good strategy 15:25:25 CW: simplify stage: remove sub-bullets, or made multiple slides might help 15:25:39 CW: dig into each category - what is common infrastructure 15:26:47 CW: chart - placeholder? say something about forms modularization 15:26:50 q+ 15:27:10 CW: might be able to do in way that doesn't look like we are planning world domination 15:27:17 JB: have to think about that for a while 15:27:23 CW: discussion about modules 15:27:32 CW: can elaborate as want 15:28:18 GJR: modularization plans for XML Events 15:28:43 CW: markB's google maps example if not using in different presentation 15:29:06 CW: jack's example, loan form, dojo/xhtml example 15:29:20 CW: use data model to present other parts of page 15:29:48 CW: same loan form - calendar, abstract interaction control 15:30:09 CW: interface - control widgets controlling data binding and events lifecycle for events 15:30:26 CW: bridging pattern - different from native pattern 15:30:38 CW: accessibility segment 15:30:46 GJR: will work on that with whomever whenever 15:31:52 CW: go back to title page - 1) what type of apps building? (2) stuff using exists (3) relationship between XG and WGs - terminal report from XG to WG usual end product (4) building working examples to test in languages 15:32:08 TOPIC: Wordsmithing Presentation Title 15:32:14 CW: any ideas? 15:32:42 CW: how much detail on m12n and abstraction and accessibility 15:33:15 JJ: don't like RIA in title - had to look up with Google - should have been able to guess, i guess, but would spell it out (at very least) and tersify title 15:33:32 JJ: XG Views on Rich Web Applications Backplane 15:33:36 CW: trying to say too much 15:33:56 JJ: need title that will (a) draw people and (b) keep them in room 15:34:05 JB: Open Standards for Rich Web Applications 15:34:46 CW: modularity point is missed more generally - something puchnier than m12n - challange audience to do better if communicate and share technology, but concrete work that needs to occur 15:34:55 JJ: "Eating Each Others' Dog Food" 15:35:10 JB: "How to Eat Dog Food and Like It, Too 15:35:24 CW: something punchy and catchy - 15:35:32 q? 15:36:06 CW: common architecture; implementing common architecture; how to extend 15:36:18 CW: JB how much you want to say about m12n or abstraction? 15:36:24 JB: have 3 or 4 slides only 15:36:50 JB: pitch makes sense to me, but i know the 20 acronyms 15:37:06 CW: abstraction/streamlined syntax 15:37:21 JB: going to address in my slides; thomas working on making something demonstrable 15:37:26 CW: will have something running 15:37:48 JB: another example of making it work together - open module AND streamlined 15:38:02 CW: careful not to presume that everyone bought into everything 15:38:21 CW: another type of backplane - a bridging backplane 15:38:32 JB: adaptation on-ramp for full set of modules 15:38:59 JB: segues nicely into examples you have - separate models that can be adopted into many forms 15:40:16 JB: 3-fold way of problem xforms adoption problem: 1) declarative AJAX programming; 2) M12n; 3) abstraction/streamlining for bridging syntax; circle back to modeling layer - abstract layer just another model; as complexity arises, can start to pull in modules without having to worry about other modules and "rip-and-replace" 15:40:22 CW: tried to express in chart 15:40:33 CW: can turn to examples - start with streamline or conclude with it 15:40:59 JB: even if start with it to show "here is abstraction layer we got to work with attributes familiar upon which we layered semantics" 15:41:42 JB: circling discussion back that abstraction just another module that authors can adopt - segue into other examples which suppose have non-attribute modules - what cool things could you do with them? why use them? advantages, etc. 15:42:00 CW: good argument for starting with attributes model, then data model, then close-ups 15:43:07 GJR: m12n from XHTML2 - XML Events to be modularized to Event Module, Handler Module and Script Module 15:43:52 GJR: as far as accessibility: rule number 1 is follow the rules and implement to standards - gain for accessiblity is a commmon framework and consistency of expectations 15:44:38 GJR: start with what is built in, because assistive techs need assistance 15:44:58 GJR: common document architectures to work off of - modularization model easier to support 15:45:05 CW: better places to attach 15:45:28 GJR: separting out what has native accessibility support and what doesn't and how it can be provided 15:46:58 GJR: "if you build something from the inside out, you'll have no difficulty penetrating from the outside in" 15:47:11 TOPIC: Review of TPAC Meetings 15:48:00 CW: Al Gilman - tuesday after lunch slot with PF at TPAC 15:48:22 CW: moday at 4 with MMI - Voice example should trigger discussion - m12n, streamlining and ubiquity in general 15:48:33 CW: Dave Raggett and UbiWeb on wednesday 15:48:41 CW: HTML and Web Apps? 15:48:53 JB: had first meeting with Chris Wilson and meeting with him tomorrow 15:49:05 JB: WebApps group categorically refused to meet with us 15:49:42 GJR: PF should also talk with Forms WG about moving forward on forms in HTML5 15:50:16 JB: role emerging for web apps group is strategic, but currently disconnected; hoping that TPAC presentations will help sway some 15:50:28 CW: slot on Wednesday can address issues 15:51:04 JB: step 1: set of techs can deliver cross-browser using AJAX library; strategic play for WebApps to discuss APIs that can deliver this strategy and why they should care 15:51:27 CW: at TPAC 2006, WebApps jumped up to take lead on "next steps" 15:52:15 CW: discuss behavioral/functional PoV 15:53:09 JB: doing same thing as HTML5, but at javascript level - request APIs - what will be implemented in next 3 months for UA implementation; eating feed corn -- need to try and get roadmap or long-term goals 15:53:44 -John_Boyer 15:53:47 -Jack_J 15:53:49 -Charlie 15:53:50 CW: will chat with JB about middle section; will chat with GJR on accessibility once delivers comments on demo 15:53:53 -unl 15:53:56 ADJOURNED 15:54:01 -Gregory_Rosmaita 15:54:02 INC_RWAB()11:00AM has ended 15:54:03 Attendees were Charlie, Gregory_Rosmaita, Jack_J, unl, John_Boyer 15:54:09 rrsagent, make minutes 15:54:09 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2008/09/30-backplane-minutes.html oedipus 15:57:28 ACTION: Gregory - review CW's proposed presentation and suggest accessibility additions/suggestions 15:57:32 rrsagent, make minutes 15:57:32 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2008/09/30-backplane-minutes.html oedipus 16:08:14 rrsagent, please part 16:08:14 I see 1 open action item saved in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/30-backplane-actions.rdf : 16:08:14 ACTION: Gregory - review CW's proposed presentation and suggest accessibility additions/suggestions [1] 16:08:14 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/09/30-backplane-irc#T15-57-28
