Depends on if we have extra people to put on it that is interested. 15:34:11 Ralph: I'm certainly interested, but I'm afraid that I may not have the time. 15:34:46 Steven: I may have the time for the team contact role. 15:35:02 Ben: Sounds like IG, even with the overhead, is the more appropriate direction. 15:35:23 Ben: anybody else prefer XG? 15:36:16 Steven: We should make it clear that RDFa is a W3C technology and it should get resources from W3C going forward. 15:37:07 Manu: Where does the IG charter proposal have to come from? 15:37:47 Ralph: usually comes from the activity lead, Ivan in this case, to W3C management, which approves and sends to AC to discuss. 15:37:54 Ralph: Anybody can draft it. 15:38:10 Ben: I'm happy to put some time into that... would be high on my priority list. 15:38:23 Ben: We could do this on the wiki - draft the charter on the wiki. 15:38:26 Note that our current structure continues under the XHTML 2 working group until the end of 2009. 15:38:40 Ralph: There is a charter template that we can put on the wiki. 15:39:41 ACTION: Ben to author wiki page with charter template for RDFa IG. Manu to provide support where needed. 15:39:42 -> http://www.w3.org/Guide/Charter.html How to Creat an Interest Group 15:40:14 Ralph: Charter aggregator/generator is on that page. 15:41:14 Topic: Sorting priorities - @token, RDFa Profiles, HTML+RDFa 15:41:52 Manu: the order in the agenda is just random, not necessarily reflecting my preferences 15:42:07 ... @token and profiles interact 15:42:35 ... HTML+RDFa has gotten interest from others who want to see it pushed forward 15:42:49 i/Manu: the or/scribenick: ralph 15:43:16 ... my preference would be to focus primarily on HTML+RDFa discussion 15:43:43 ... @token and profiles discussion *may* help solve problems with HTML+RDFa but otherwise are secondary 15:44:03 Ben: different TF participants might work in parallel 15:44:57 FWIW I feel the "issues" related to RDFa in HTML (4) are basically the same as any issues related to RDFa in HTML 5. 15:45:57 Mark: here's how I work out what the priorities should be 15:46:15 ... adoption does not seem to be hampered by the fact that we've written XHTML+RDFa, not HTML+RDFa 15:46:39 ... there some subtleties such as nsprefixes not all in the same case, XML literals 15:46:53 ... but this doesn't appear to be stopping people from using RDFa 15:47:41 ... we're going in the right direction; HTML5 aside, what would we be doing next? 15:47:52 ... I'd pay attention to avoiding fragmentation 15:48:15 ... perhaps discussion on a core document that's neither HTML nor XHTML 15:48:36 ... use that core document as a mechanism to address XML literals 15:48:37 +1 to promulgation being a priority 15:49:00 +1 15:50:04 Ben: is there a conflict between what we're promulgating right now in our examples with what's going on in the HTML WG? 15:50:30 Manu: I don't think any of us here think there's a conflict but that opinion isn't shared by some others 15:50:52 Ben: Shane's HTML4+RDFa document shows a mechanism that works with HTML5 15:51:06 Manu: some good issues -- mostly corner cases -- are being brought up though 15:51:21 q+ to talk about examples 15:51:32 q- 15:51:34 Ben: yes, we should resolve the edge cases but that need not stop us from continuing to promulgate the examples 15:51:48 Manu: we haven't run a lot of our tests against HTML4 and HTML5 documents 15:52:05 Ben: I run all my tests in Firefox with javascript 15:52:35 ... maybe there's no conflict between fixing edge cases and further promulgation of examples 15:52:43 Manu: not sure we currently have enough data to say 15:53:22 ... not sure we can safely say there will be no issues 15:54:08 Ben: if folk are doing wierd things such as not paying attention to case sensitivity, that would be a conflict 15:54:38 ... but new @rel values do not present hard conflicts 15:55:26 Shane: we should avoid use cases where prefix names are anything other than lowercase and examples that use XML literals 15:55:42 ... it's OK for us to promote our Recommendation 15:56:03 scribenick: msporny 15:56:06 ... just avoid things we know are problems and we're fine 15:56:33 Ben: We're going to have different priorities, some are going to focus on HTML+RDFa, some are going to focus on @token, others RDFa Profile. 15:56:46 Ben: Immediate priority is helping Sam Ruby help us with HTML+RDFa 15:57:00 scribenick: ralph 15:57:15 http://rdfa.info/wiki/Rdfa-in-html-issues 15:57:16 Manu: my suggested priorities ... 15:57:41 ... issues page documents everything raised in the long thread 15:58:04 ... case sensitivity and @xmlns are the two biggest issues 15:58:21 ... several issues related to @xmlns; empty prefixes, underscores, etc. 15:58:33 Ben: those related issues I'd characterize as edge cases 15:58:58 http://rdfa.info/wiki/Rdfa-in-html-requirements 15:59:03 Manu: regarding requirements, there are quite a number of conflicting requirements 15:59:18 ... I have not yet sorted through all of this 16:00:03 ... Sam Ruby's request asking us to address his comments is reasonable 16:01:32 ... we're slower to respond than some people prefer which is apparently interpreted as lack of transparency, even though we're being open 16:01:57 FWIW Philip has said that we are responsive - it was Sam who said we were not responding to Philip 16:03:06 Ben: case sensitivity is more important to address than some other comments 16:03:38 -ShaneM 16:03:52 ... some things that have been raised as comments are really non-issues 16:04:05 ... I'll put some time into helping with these responses 16:04:50 Manu: I created the wiki page because people were complaining that we hadn't acknowledged some messages after 2 days 16:05:30 Ben: Can we set up an issue tracker for this stuff? 16:05:42 ACTION: Ralph make a request for an RDFa issue tracker instance 16:05:49 scribenick: msporny 16:05:51 Ben: We are going to be extremely transparent about this, as we have always been. 16:06:58 ACTION: Manu to go through and categorize issues and requirements that we should address going forward. 16:07:20 Steven: Should we go back to weekly meetings? 16:07:25 Manu: +1 for weekly meetings. 16:07:33 Ben: Is that okay to go back to weekly meetings? 16:07:34 zakim, mute me 16:07:34 markbirbeck should now be muted 16:07:52 zakim, unmute me 16:07:52 markbirbeck should no longer be muted 16:08:03 Steven: If people are thinking that we're slow about this stuff, we should step it up and meet weekly. 16:08:20 Mark: Yes, weekly sounds good. 16:08:46 Ben: Let's go to weekly meetings then. 16:09:44 -Ralph 16:11:24 [I'll send mail about issue-214] 16:21:09 MUST => PAG 16:21:33 s/MUST => PAG// 16:24:33 -markbirbeck 16:24:38 -Ben_Adida 16:24:59 -[IPcaller] 16:25:37 -Steven 16:25:38 SW_SWD(RDFa)11:00AM has ended 16:25:40 Attendees were Ralph, Steven, +0208761aaaa, markbirbeck, ShaneM, [IPcaller], Ben_Adida 16:26:05 rrsagent, draft minutes 16:26:05 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/05/28-rdfa-minutes.html msporny 16:26:26 markbirbeck has joined #rdfa
