Review and tweak agenda

AB: the Draft agenda was sent on Sept 16 ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1090.html ).
... When we talk about the A&E/Widget interface spec, we will include a comment from Scott Wilson ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1098.html ) which is a reminder we haven't responded to an email of his from 19 August. Any change requests?

[ No ]

Announcements

AB: reminder that Sep 20 comment deadline for WARP LCWD. Does anyone have any other short announcements?
... TPAC, please register ASAP

P&C spec: Media Type status

AB: the P&C Candidate spec includes an ISSUE re registering the application/widget media type ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-widgets-20090723/#media-type ).

MC: I plan to get that soon
... I don't think it will affect testing

AB: Do you need something from the rest us?

MC: not really
... I think it's clear what is needed, I just need to do it
... If I need help, I'll ask

AB: does anyone have relevant experience MC can leverage?

RB: will use IANA or the W3C fast track?

MC: W3C fast track

RB: will this require changing the CR?

MC: no I don't think so
... the RFC enumerates the requirements and I need to make sure the spec includes those

AB: will you create a separate doc?

MC: no I think an appendix of the P+C is OK

AB: any other comments on this topic?

[ No ]

P&C spec: URI/IRI normalization

AB: last week we skipped URI/IRI normalization issue ( http://www.w3.org/2009/09/10-wam-minutes.html#item03 ) because Marcin was not on the call. After I published today's agenda, I18N Core WG responded to Marcin's query ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1099.html ). My interpretation of Addison's feedback is that we don't need to make any changes.
... Marcin, Marcos, is Addison correct there is no change required?

MC: need to hear from Marcin

MH: I accept the comments from the I18N WG
... percent encoding should not be used for IRIs

AB: Marcin, please add to the minutes here

<marcin2> Based on I18N comments I understand that the UTF8 usage in IRI is based on character entities and not pctencoding.

MC: we may need to add a note to make things more clear
... Marcin did have a good point

<marcin2> I can live with the fact that such an IRI - as it would be written into config.xml - would not be able to be copy-pasted into the browser to point to any resource

AB: given the Note is non-normative, we will leave it to the Editor to add clarifying text

MH: in email, MC suggested I create a widget but I don't think that is necessary

MC: I will create a related test
... and add it to the test suite

AB: any last comments on this topic?

[ No ]

A&E / Widget Interface spec: Comments on section 5.1 protected preferences by Scott Wilson

AB: on Sept 13 Scott submitted a comment re section 5.1 ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1053.html ) and then yesterday he submitted a followup ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1097.html ). What is the status?

MC: I think we have solved the problem Scott raised
... by using JS' getters and setters
... some recent additions to ES can be used
... the spec will need to use those
... I think Scott can now create a compliant client using JS

AB: is there some additional followup that needs to be done?

MC: yes; there are some additional clarification that need to be made
... but this is not a blocking issue
... must tighten up some additional text

AB: thanks for working on this one

A&E / Widget Interface spec: August 19 comment from Scott Wilson

AB: on August 19 Scott Wilson submitted the following comment ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1098.html ) and we have not yet responded.

<Viper23> hi

MC: I still need to investigate Scott's Aug 19 email
... it is related to the structured clone thread I started re WebStorage spec
... we will need to take some text from WebStorage
... prefs attr needs some explicit behavior defined

Arve: you mean do a Copy-Paste?

MC: yes, that's what Hixie recommended
... see this thread http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JulSep/1065.html

Arve: I want to read Hixie's reply

AB: so obviously there is still work that needs to be done on this spec

Arve: I don't understand why Hixie doesn't want to specify the general behavior

AB: can you follow-up Arve?

Arve: yes

AB: how much work needs to be done?

MC: I think it can be ready soon

RB: is the plan to go to a 2nd LC?

MC: yes; but as short as possible

RB: that means 3 weeks

AB: seems like we should have a 1-week review after MC completes his changes

MC: I don't think we need a whole week
... based on experience, we won't get feedback until we publish

RB: I tend to agree we should just publish

<Benoit> I agree as well

MH: yesterday I commented on the latest ED rather than the LC

MC: I haven't looked at your comments yet Marcin

MH: there have not yet been any responses to my comments

MC: I will respond to those comments on Sep 18

AB: when do you think you can complete your edits?

MC: Tueday 22 Sept

AB: so then on Sep 24 we can make a decision on LC # publication

RB: I can help; let me know what needs to be done

AB: this would then mean a publication on the 29th
... not sure we can do better
... that then Plan of Record
... anything else on this spec today?
... since we will publish a new LCWD I don't think we need to complete the Comment Tracking document we created for the August 18 LC.

MC: I am also trying to get ready for the Sep 21-23 Widget Test Fest
... I've already added the TA ids
... hope they create some tests for this

URI Scheme spec

AB: the URI scheme spec should be ready to publish as a LCWD ( http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/waf/widgets-uri/ ) if Robin updated the spec ( http://www.w3.org/2009/09/10-wam-minutes.html#item06 ).

<darobin> http://www.w3.org/mid/FF1199B3-7D6A-4481-A3F8-57F46E25D5A0@berjon.com

<darobin> http://www.w3.org/mid/9C10B32C-7F49-4CD0-B929-2622077CDA7D@berjon.com

AB: Robin, please give us a quick status

RB: have two major comments
... think the spec needs to be updated before we publish
... Jere's comment needs to be addressed
... think we may be mis-using the IRI spec
... these changes will take some time though
... the spec focues on abs URI
... but lacking some support for relative URIs
... Marcos also submitted some comment that need to be addressed
... I think this is going to take at leas one week
... It would be helpful for people to start discussing

<darobin> """

<darobin> So taking a different tack to defining the syntax, we could state that for a URI to be a valid widget URI, then it must match the IRI production in RFC 3987, with "scheme" being "widget". That pretty much makes us as safe as can be syntax-wise.

<darobin> We then need a "Rule for converting the ipath-* bits to a file name field", and anything that cannot be converted is simply considered to resolve to nothing (the equivalent of a 404). This requires a bigger change than I'd hoped, but I think it's probably the right thing to do.

<darobin> """

<darobin> - should the requirements in WURI be moved to the requirements document

<darobin> - HTML 5 origin issue

RB: we need input on the above comments from Jere and Marcos

AB: so it's going to be another week or two before we are ready to make a decision about LC ready

View Modes Media Features spec

AB: we need to get the VMMF spec ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vm/vm-mediafeature.src.html ) ready for FPWD as discussed last week ( http://www.w3.org/2009/09/10-wam-minutes.html#item07 ). Marcin, what's the status?

MH: what is required for FPWD?

AB: I am not aware of any hard reqs
... are there any things you need to do?

MH: needs a ToC

RB: there are no absolute reqs for FPWD
... but want to think about IPR and exclusions
... by publishing a FPWD, the exclusion period starts
... the 2nd period starts when the LC is published
... want to make sure FPWD is as feature complete as possible
... at least mentions all of the features expected in the final Recommendation
... even a simple paragraph that isn't well-defined is OK

MH: should we do a round of edits before we do a FPWD?

RB: do you think it is feature complete?

MH: yes
... but I will add a ToC

AB: everyone should review the spec and submit comments by Sept 24
... let's plan to make a decision about FPWD during the Sep 24 call
... besides myself, can anyone else do a thorough review?

RB: I will

AB: anything else on this topic for today?

MH: nothing from me
... note I will be traveling at this time next week

AOB

AB: good luck to those attending the Widgets Test Fest next week.
... who's going?

RB: me

MH: me too

AB: the meeting will be held in #wam?

RB: yes

AB: sorry I can't make it

<Viper23> me

AB: any other topics?

MC: I won't be able to join next week

Arve: I may not be able to join next week

AB: Meeting Adjourned; next meeting is Sep 24
