- 11:38:47 [anthony]
- AE: Any objections to Tiny 1.2 going to PR?
- 11:38:55 [anthony]
- ALL: None
- 11:39:34 [anthony]
- Resolution: We will advance to Proposed Recommendation and then to Recommendation status
- 11:40:32 [shepazu]

- Topic: ISSUE-2084
- 11:41:17 [shepazu]
- ISSUE-2084?
- 11:41:17 [trackbot]
- ISSUE-2084 -- 16.2.9 values attribute 'extended syntax' -- CLOSED
- 11:41:17 [trackbot]

- 11:41:39 [anthony]
- DS: Dr Hoffmann didn't really like this one
- 11:42:07 [anthony]
- ... I've marked it as satisfied
- 11:42:22 [anthony]
- ... I guess it's not that he's satisfied
- 11:42:28 [anthony]
- ... he's willing to live with it
- 11:42:34 [anthony]
- ... but he'd rather it removed
- 11:42:45 [anthony]
- ... is it ok to remove this part?
- 11:42:53 [anthony]
- AE: No it's ok
- 11:43:03 [anthony]
- ... I see there are number of responses on this
- 11:44:05 [anthony]
- DS: I guess the section in question starts with "compatibility with existing content" and ends with "discouraged from using trailing semicolon"
- 11:44:16 [anthony]
- ... I can I remove the whole thing
- 11:44:19 [anthony]
- ... in values?
- 11:44:36 [anthony]
- ... will this have a bad impact on existing content?
- 11:44:43 [anthony]
- NH: I think we can live with that
- 11:44:49 [anthony]
- ... I don't think it's a big issue
- 11:45:32 [anthony]
- Resolution: We will remove the section on of the specification allowing trailing semicolon
- 11:46:05 [anthony]
- DS: I can do that now
- 11:46:28 [anthony]
- Topic: Disposition of Comments

- 11:46:40 [anthony]
- DS: There's the link
- 11:46:43 [anthony]
- ... if you scroll down
- 11:46:48 [anthony]
- ... you'll see on the right hand side
- 11:46:52 [anthony]
- ... we had 97 issues
- 11:47:02 [anthony]
- ... and 97 satisfied
- 11:47:14 [anthony]
- ... and this is the true recording
- 11:47:25 [anthony]
- ... we worked with everyone to get a resolution

- http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/test/SVGT12-ImpReport.html
- 11:51:02 [anthony]
- DS: This is also important
- 11:51:10 [anthony]
- ... there are a number of tests we had to drop at the last minute
- 11:51:15 [anthony]
- ... for various reasons
- 11:51:26 [anthony]
- ... we have spotty coverage on some of them
- 11:51:37 [anthony]
- ... but we have at least 2 passes for every approved test
- 11:51:55 [anthony]
- ... and a big thank you to the implementors
- 11:52:10 [anthony]
- NH: I found a few mistakes in some tests
- 11:52:27 [anthony]
- DS: I think we should wait a week before we look at those
- 11:52:46 [anthony]
- ... we'll be updating it at the time we go to recommendation
- 11:52:58 [anthony]
- ... we should update this with more tests
- 11:53:03 [anthony]
- ... and an updated corverage
- 11:53:10 [anthony]
- ... I'd like to have at least 500 tests
- 11:53:36 [anthony]
- NH: Is it possible for us to get our new implementation for this release?
- 11:53:55 [anthony]
- DS: I'm not sure. It is possible
- 11:54:07 [anthony]
- NH: I can send you our player with the tests
- 11:54:17 [anthony]
- DS: Ok, I'll attempt to do that
- 11:54:23 [anthony]
- ... can you do that today?
- 11:54:27 [anthony]
- NH: In a few hours
- 11:54:34 [anthony]
- DS: It's going to be passes right?
- 11:54:37 [anthony]
- NH: Yes
- 11:54:48 [anthony]
- DS: Is it for Mac or Windows?
- 11:54:50 [anthony]
- NH: Windows
- 11:55:13 [anthony]
- DS: I guess there are only 15 or 20 that you're not passing
- 11:55:25 [anthony]
- NH: I think it's more
- 11:55:46 [anthony]
- DS: Please send me the implementation
- 11:55:56 [anthony]
- NH: I'll send you the implementation with a list of the tests we've been fixing
- 11:56:03 [anthony]
- ... and Bitflash can do the same
- 11:56:16 [anthony]
- ... and I'll see about adding them to the matrix

- CM: Chris is set to +2
- 11:58:56 [anthony]

- 12:00:06 [anthony]
- DS: I think my zone is -5
- 12:01:08 [anthony]
- ... we could move to a Monday telcon
- 12:01:26 [anthony]
- ... since we're done with SVG Tiny we should examine what we are doing with telcons
- 12:02:32 [anthony]
- ... I propose as we've been discussing for the last several months
- 12:02:37 [anthony]
- ... rather than work on 1.2 Full
- 12:02:42 [anthony]
- ... that we work on 2.0 core
- 12:02:51 [anthony]
- ... which will be a reformulation of SVG
- 12:03:02 [anthony]
- ... and more suitable for integration for HTML and XHTML
- 12:03:19 [anthony]
- ... and we should focus on bringing all the good stuff from SVG Tiny
- 12:03:36 [anthony]
- ... we wouldn't exactly start from scratch
- 12:03:48 [anthony]
- ... I'd like to rearrange it because it's a bit confusing
- 12:04:00 [anthony]
- ... I propose that one call be devoted be focused on 2.0 core
- 12:04:10 [anthony]
- ... and other core be focused on specific modules
- 12:04:17 [anthony]
- ... how does that sound to everybody?
- 12:04:46 [anthony]
- ... do people think that working 2.0 core is what we should work on?
- 12:05:03 [anthony]
- CM: I think it would be good to work on something like core
- 12:05:10 [anthony]
- ED: I think it depends on the scope of core
- 12:05:33 [anthony]
- ... I think it would be useful that maps to 1.1 but has the good things from Tiny
- 12:05:45 [anthony]
- AE: Is it useful having two tracks having Full and Core?
- 12:06:01 [anthony]
- ... and we don't have any Tiny any more
- 12:06:13 [anthony]
- ... because many small devices are quite powerful
- 12:06:30 [anthony]
- ED: True, because we are shipping SVG full on phones now
- 12:06:41 [anthony]
- AE: And there is a demand to keep up with more graphical effects out there
- 12:07:04 [anthony]
- DS: I've heard they are rewriting flash from scratch
- 12:07:13 [anthony]
- ... and there'll be only one
- 12:07:23 [anthony]
- ... given what AE has said
- 12:07:37 [anthony]
- ... how does Ikivo or Bitflash about this?
- 12:07:46 [anthony]
- ... Same as Andrew
- 12:07:55 [anthony]
- NH: Same as Andrew
- 12:08:18 [anthony]
- DS: I think if we are aggressive about core we could get it done in a year
- 12:08:33 [anthony]
- ... and we could say that is the spec for mobile devices and browers
- 12:08:45 [anthony]
- CM: On mobile you'd have this base feature set
- 12:08:51 [anthony]
- ... and modules build up full
- 12:08:59 [anthony]
- ... I guess if we are going to have Core
- 12:09:06 [anthony]
- ... that's going to be only one
- 12:09:14 [anthony]
- ... is there is a reason for modules?
- 12:09:35 [anthony]
- DS: There is a reason is features can implemented in CSS etc
- 12:10:17 [anthony]
- ... Since it is not much more complicated the speed along the rec track is critical
- 12:10:33 [anthony]
- ... it's easier to write tests and the smaller specs
- 12:10:36 [anthony]
- ... for modules
- 12:10:51 [anthony]
- ... we could think of modules as chapters for Core perhaps
- 12:11:11 [anthony]
- ED: If we are going to go down that path we should have a planned infrastructure
- 12:11:15 [anthony]
- ... e.g. scripts
- 12:11:20 [anthony]
- ... dependencies
- 12:11:23 [anthony]
- ... etc
- 12:11:48 [anthony]
- DS: Erik will you compose and email with the challenges you see in that approach
- 12:12:01 [anthony]
- ED: My personal feel it is quicker to move one spec
- 12:12:03 [anthony]
- ... then several
- 12:12:12 [anthony]
- ... although I could be wrong
- 12:12:22 [anthony]
- DS: In terms of review it could be easier to review smaller ones
- 12:12:25 [anthony]
- ... but I could be wrong
- 12:12:47 [anthony]
- AE: If you want to take into account how other modules fit in with other modules
- 12:12:56 [anthony]
- ... you may have to read other modules
- 12:13:01 [anthony]
- ... to see how it all fits
- 12:13:41 [anthony]
- ... maybe we want figure out our approach
- 12:13:54 [anthony]
- ... maybe we can raise an issue on modules or a single spec
- 12:15:02 [anthony]
- Resolution: The SVG WG will operate on the assumption that Core 2.0 will be targeted for mobile devices and desktops
- 12:15:33 [anthony]
- DS: There are challenges that we'd run into with modules
- 12:16:01 [Zakim]

- 12:16:30 [anthony]
- ... [Discussion on modules]
- 12:17:17 [anthony]
- AE: Maybe Video
- 12:17:23 [anthony]
- ... as long as we brought over Video
- 12:17:32 [anthony]
- ... and not require us to be placed in a canvas
- 12:17:42 [anthony]
- ... just thinking out loud
- 12:17:57 [anthony]
- DS: I'd be strongly in favor of keeping video
- 12:18:08 [anthony]
- ... the Video in HTML can't be sync-ed with a time container
- 12:18:22 [anthony]
- ... I think we should try to converge on functionality
- 12:18:32 [anthony]
- ... we inherited video from SMIL
- 12:18:35 [anthony]
- ... so we should keep it
- 12:19:12 [anthony]
- ... could have a section on how mobiles should do this
- 12:20:08 [anthony]
- AE: So lets continue trying to get a telcon time
- 12:20:20 [anthony]
- ... I think the first few weeks will be figuring out which approach to take
- 12:20:33 [anthony]
- ... we agree that two is still appropriate?
- 12:20:51 [anthony]
- DS: Personally I'd like to have 2 telcons as long as 1 is option
- 12:21:02 [anthony]
- ... I'd like us to make quick progress on the stuff we have planned
- 12:21:11 [anthony]
- ... and drop down to 1 once we're going
- 12:21:55 [anthony]
- AG: Depends on the work load
- 12:22:05 [anthony]
- ... I think we should run with two and see how it goes

- AE: A new time for next week
- 12:30:29 [anthony]
- ... and this Thursday off
- 12:30:39 [anthony]
- DS: So Monday next week?
- 12:31:19 [anthony]
- ... I may or may not be available, because I'll be in Japan
- 12:32:25 [anthony]
- ... so that'll be 11:30 for folks in CA
- 12:32:27 [anthony]

- 13:44:08 [shepazu]
- oh?
- 13:45:22 [shepazu]
- how so?
- 13:45:33 [ed_]

- 13:50:14 [shepazu]
- I know I updated...
- 13:50:29 [shepazu]
- I'll try again
- 13:52:45 [ed_]
- will there be some minuted resolutions somewhere on irc regarding the transition call?
- 13:53:58 [ed_]
- gah, maybe that's jibberish...i mean is there an irc-channel similar to how telcons are handled for the call?
- 13:59:32 [shepazu]
- fixed now, thanks
- 13:59:50 [shepazu]
- um... I dunno... I can get back to you in a couple hours about it
- 14:00:04 [shepazu]
- are you intererested in joining the call?
- 14:01:19 [ed_]
- probably won't be able to attend
- 14:01:27 [shepazu]
- ok
- 14:20:22 [ed_work]
- ed_work has joined #svg
- 14:34:50 [shepazu]
- ed_work: can you point me to some cool SVG demos I can show in SVG?
- 14:35:14 [shepazu]
- things like your video reflection, or other wow stuff you've done?
- 14:35:54 [ed_work]
- well, most stuff is linked from my blog
- 14:36:07 [ed_work]
- or through the proceedings from svgopen.org
- 14:36:27 [ed_work]
- http://my.opera.com/macdev_ed
- 14:39:43 [shepazu]
- ed_work: do you know about that project built on Canvas, it's supposed to be pretty impressive, but I can't recall the name
- 14:40:29 [ed_work]
- http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/ ?
- 14:40:42 [shepazu]
- yeah, that's it, thanks
- 14:41:25 [ed_work]
- some of which may be done more efficiently using svg+filters btw
- 14:42:11 [shepazu]
- do you have any examples that show that?
- 14:42:15 [ed_work]
- depends on whether you need the dom or not, sometimes the dom simply grows too large
- 14:43:30 [ed_work]
- sorry, no examples of that
- 14:44:11 [ed_work]
- just a question of how much raw pixel processing you need to perform in javascript vs. in native code (filters)
- 14:45:40 [shepazu]
- interesting, ok
- 14:46:00 [shepazu]
- so, I have to give a presentation in Japan on Friday, on SVG and Canvas
- 14:46:28 [shepazu]
- and I've been busting my ass so hard on SVG 1.2 Tiny that I haven't done much for it :(
- 14:48:45 [ed_work]
- you can always talk about that :)
- 14:49:08 [shepazu]
- oh, no worries, I will :)
- 14:49:43 [shepazu]
- so, what do you think the use cases for SVG vs. Canvas are?
- 14:49:50 [shepazu]
- like, for each?
- 14:50:22 [ed_work]
- document format vs umm...javascript?
- 14:51:04 [ed_work]
- svg preserves structure, and is editable in graphics editors
- 14:51:39 [ed_work]
- canvas is lightweight in that it doesn't have a DOM tree to care about
- 14:52:12 [shepazu]
- right, but it offloads all state and event handling to the author
- 14:52:21 [ed_work]
- right
- 14:52:36 [ed_work]
- it gives the power to optimize for specific use-cases
- 14:52:39 [shepazu]
- what pragmatic use cases are each good at?
- 14:53:13 [shepazu]
- obviously, pixel-operations, like getting the color at a point, are better with canvas
- 14:53:37 [ed_work]
- svg might be good for, say take an existing vector image, then edit it, then export it
- 14:53:45 [ed_work]
- which is good for a number of things
- 14:54:04 [ed_work]
- my demos at svgopen this year was based around that
- 14:54:11 [ed_work]
- for some part
- 14:54:30 [ed_work]
- like the map colorizer thing, and the lolcat builder
- 14:55:52 [ed_work]
- http://svgopen.org/2008/presentations/70-Tricks_of_Javascript_and_declarative_animation/index.html has links to those
- 14:56:55 [ed_work]
- accessibility is another thing
- 14:57:23 [shepazu]
- yes
- 14:57:36 [shepazu]
- what are some of the strengths of canvas?
- 14:57:39 [ed_work]
- partially illustrated by the ajax photogallery demo (which I can mail to you if you want, it's not online)
- 14:57:46 [shepazu]
- oh, please do!
- 14:58:28 [ed_work]
- canvas? well...perhaps easier to emulate in IE :)
- 14:58:57 [ed_work]
- and the browsers have pretty good support for it
- 15:01:29 [shepazu]
- it's a good gateway for people who are already familiar with OpenGL graphics programming
- 15:01:44 [shepazu]
- some projects can be ported over
- 15:02:09 [ed_work]
- coming from an operating systems API perspective, canvas is closer to what is offered on platforms
- 15:02:18 [shepazu]
- right
- 15:02:30 [ed_work]
- which may mean that some projects are portable to it
- 15:03:38 [shepazu]
- it's got some 3D implementations...

- oh, actually the gallery demo is online...i just missed it...http://svgopen.org/2008/presentations/71-How_to_create_an_AJAX_photo_gallery_in_SVG/
- 15:04:57 [ed_work]
- you need to run a php-capable server on your localhost to run it
- 15:05:17 [shepazu]
- hm, how do I do that?
- 15:05:27 [ed_work]
- download MAMP for example, it's free
- 15:05:31 [shepazu]
- ok
- 15:06:18 [ed_work]
- and you need to edit the path in the php-file too, it's rather clearly marked
- 15:06:36 [ed_work]
- it's a very simple script, just to demo the principle
- 15:07:12 [shepazu]
- ok, thanks

- Topic: SVG 1.2 important changes
- 18:04:48 [plh]
- Doug: we made a number of changes regarding the metadata stuff we added.
- 18:04:56 [plh]
- ... also regarding i18n
- 18:05:15 [plh]
- ... and a bunch of changes to the multimedia stuff, specifically how SMIL integrates with SVG
- 18:05:43 [plh]
- ... we had a lot of multimedia or animation issues that we needed to clarify in the spec or to the commenter
- 18:06:04 [plh]
- Ralph: so, you were in CR, with a number of implementations and the implementators raised questions?
- 18:06:12 [plh]
- ... why did you do the new LC?
- 18:06:51 [plh]
- Doug: in our previous LC, there were a number of comments that only got resolved during our CR phase
- 18:07:16 [plh]
- ... so we made substantial changes based on that
- 18:07:23 [plh]
- ... also feedback from implementers
- 18:07:37 [plh]
- ... and we wanted to add a few new features, suitable for mobiles
- 18:07:55 [plh]
- ... the devices changed in the time we did svg 1.2
- 18:08:03 [plh]
- ... so we were able to add more features
- 18:08:33 [plh]
- ralph: can you reassure us that the implementers were closely following with the changes in the second last call?
- 18:08:52 [plh]
- doug: everyone except firefox and safari were updating their implementations in real time
- 18:09:25 [plh]
- ... the reasons we included firefox and safari was that certain features, like namespaces, were only supported in those
- 18:09:37 [plh]
- ... mobile have "magic" namespaces, ie fixed prefixes
- 18:10:04 [plh]
- ... most of the features in svg 1.2 tiny were also in svg full
- 18:10:15 [plh]
- ... so we'll keep updating the matric
- 18:10:18 [plh]
- s/tric/trix/
- 18:10:39 [plh]
- ralph: so for the tests that failed, any of the failures related to the changes during LC?
- 18:10:57 [plh]
- doug: no, it's due to lack of implementations or smil
- 18:11:14 [plh]
- ... no failure in the final report are linked to the final report
- 18:11:37 [plh]
- Topic: SVG 1.2 requirements
- 18:12:24 [plh]
- Doug: we added an implementation hint/optimization, whether an element will get animated or not
- 18:12:42 [plh]
- ... and we added support for rdfa and microformats
- 18:12:47 [plh]
- ... by adding attributes
- 18:12:59 [plh]
- ... so we meet no new requirements on those attributes
- 18:13:22 [plh]
- ... we also took the first step in adding support for ARIA
- 18:13:39 [plh]
- Ralph: any feature request expressed as requirements from other groups?
- 18:14:21 [plh]
- Doug: sort of. we talked with the accessibility people over several months. for rdfa, svg wasn't on their radar but they were enthousiastic about it
- 18:14:37 [plh]
- ralph: did you revise any formal requirements or documents?
- 18:15:05 [plh]
- Doug: that's correct. Not sure if there is a requirement document for svg 1.2 (it was before my time).
- 18:15:41 [plh]
- -> http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-SVGTiny12Reqs-20060810/ SVGT 1.2 Requirements
- 18:16:29 [plh]
- FUN 4. SVGT 1.2 should support SVG content organized in pages (use case 1).
- 18:16:39 [plh]
- [[
- 18:16:41 [plh]
- Unsupported. This functionality was explored and found to be unsuitable; pages (on the one hand) and timed scenes (on the other) are better represented using different constructs.
- 18:16:41 [plh]
- ]]
- 18:16:53 [plh]
- Doug: we decided to break this out, and that's SVG Print
- 18:17:30 [plh]
- Philippe: you might want to mark the document as deprecated or something like that
- 18:17:43 [plh]

- 18:19:05 [plh]
- CSS, HTML, and WebApps mailing lists
- 18:19:25 [plh]
- Philippe: did you get review from HTML?
- 18:19:29 [plh]
- Doug: no
- 18:20:05 [plh]
- ... I asked several times, including asking Hixie. I went to the implementators who replied that they were interested in SVG 2.0 Core.
- 18:20:26 [plh]
- Topic: SVG 1.2 document has received wide review
- 18:20:33 [plh]

- 18:22:03 [plh]
- Doug: the ones from Cyril Concolato. He is affiliated with MPEG.
- 18:22:16 [plh]
- ... there is an MPEG standard that includes SVG and he is an implementer

- 18:26:12 [plh]
- ... we also had tests that we did not accept
- 18:26:42 [plh]
- ... we have basic and "complex" tests
- 18:26:56 [plh]
- Ralph: what methodology did you use to create the tests?
- 18:27:21 [plh]
- Doug: each participant in the Group went through a chapter in the specification, pulling out requirements from the specification
- 18:27:49 [plh]
- ... we used a wiki for those requirements
- 18:28:04 [plh]
- ... one person wrote the test, and an other review it
- 18:28:41 [plh]
- ralph: any comment lead to additional tests?
- 18:28:56 [plh]
- doug: it worked both ways, we added and dropped some tests
- 18:29:13 [plh]
- ralph: all of the substantive changes were covered by the tests?
- 18:29:23 [plh]
- doug: we did a pretty good job at that
- 18:29:43 [plh]
- ... most of the tests were donated by implementers, especially from bitflash
- 18:30:14 [plh]
- ralph: what's up with the purple outline?
- 18:31:05 [plh]
- doug: at the time of the test fest, the implementation failed but we got a new version since then that passed the test

- 18:33:51 [Ralph]
- PLH: be sure to link to the most up-to-date test report from the PR spec
- 18:33:58 [plh]
- philippe: lots of holes for firefox and safari
- 18:34:25 [plh]
- doug: indeed. we were using xml:id instead of id. the webkit folks said they are not going to implement xml:id
- 18:35:48 [plh]
