Topic: SVG 1.1 second edition + assigning heycams actions
06:39:03 [ed]
http://www.w3.org/mid/20091009033646.GC24133@wok.mcc.id.au
06:39:08 [anthony]
CM: Put in the email
06:39:14 [anthony]
... all the things that I could think of
06:39:19 [anthony]
... that I had that were important
06:39:31 [anthony]
... went through open actions in tracker
06:39:38 [anthony]
... a few need to be done
06:39:45 [anthony]
... but some are not critical
06:39:50 [anthony]
... the ones that appear in the email
06:39:53 [anthony]
... should be done soon
06:40:04 [anthony]
... as well as in the email I listed the things that need to be done for 2nd edition
06:40:10 [anthony]
CL: How long are you taking?
06:40:15 [anthony]
CM: A few months
06:40:28 [anthony]
CL: Just wanted to know how long you were talking about
06:40:41 [anthony]
CM: For those ones where it's write a test
06:40:44 [anthony]
... they can wait
06:40:50 [anthony]
ED: If there are any time critical
06:40:56 [anthony]
... we should reassign them
06:41:07 [anthony]
CM: Ok lets go through 1 by 1
06:41:20 [anthony]
... ACTION-2514 is not that important
06:41:31 [anthony]
... bunch of old issues in the old tracker
06:41:36 [anthony]
... that hadn't been discussed
06:41:42 [anthony]
... started to go through them
06:41:50 [anthony]
... and raised issues at one point
06:41:54 [anthony]
... but most haven't been done
06:42:06 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Old_Issues
06:42:08 [anthony]
... I made a wiki page to keep a track of which ones haven't been dealt with
06:42:13 [anthony]
... see link above
06:42:38 [anthony]
... we've survived without having resolved these so far
06:42:43 [anthony]
... so when we go to do 2.0
06:42:46 [anthony]
... we look up these
06:42:51 [anthony]
... and take that into account at the time
06:43:06 [anthony]
... I don't think it needs to be reassigned
06:43:18 [anthony]
... ACTION-3291
06:43:25 [anthony]
... this is the action to look into list syntax
06:43:31 [anthony]
... so in the end I didn't get time to solve this one
06:43:39 [anthony]
... for the general case for 2nd edition
06:43:53 [anthony]
... I solved it for specific case of stroke-array
06:44:08 [anthony]
s/stroke-array/stroke-dasharry/
06:44:15 [anthony]
... another one that can be worked on in SVG 2.0
06:44:25 [anthony]
... ACTION-2503
06:44:34 [ChrisL]
ACTION-2503?
06:45:08 [anthony]
... this was an action to add the notes about which things we didn't have consensus on
06:45:12 [anthony]
... regarding SVG in HTML
06:45:18 [anthony]
... but there is a newer action
06:45:26 [ChrisL]
zakim, who is noisy?
06:45:37 [Zakim]
ChrisL, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: heycam (52%), anthony (66%), ChrisL (14%)
06:46:18 [ChrisL]
close ACTION-2503
06:46:20 [anthony]
... which is newer than this one
06:46:40 [anthony]
ACTION-2537?
06:47:16 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2537
06:47:17 [ChrisL]
trackbot seems to be on the blink
06:47:43 [trackbot]
ACTION-2503 -- Cameron McCormack to add ednotes to the svg-in-html spec noting points where agreement is still lacking -- due 2009-03-30 -- OPEN
06:47:43 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2503
06:47:48 [anthony]
CM: Related to a thread a while ago on parsing script and style elements in HTML
06:48:04 [anthony]
... this action was to reply on that thread
06:48:10 [anthony]
... get current status and revise it
06:48:43 [anthony]
... but Jonas said he was going to send a proposal on changing the way HTML currently says to parse these elements
06:48:49 [anthony]
... so we should wait for the proposal
06:48:52 [anthony]
... and reply to that
06:49:08 [anthony]
... he was going to propose making those elements like CDATA elements
06:49:25 [anthony]
... but have some special step that removes pre-processing markers
06:49:32 [anthony]
... currently not what HTML says to do
06:50:12 [anthony]
... that action can be closed
06:50:31 [anthony]
ACTION-2642
06:50:40 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2642
06:50:45 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2643
06:50:52 [trackbot]
ACTION-2503 Add ednotes to the svg-in-html spec noting points where agreement is still lacking closed
06:50:54 [anthony]
CM: This one and the next one are reminders to myself
06:50:59 [anthony]
... to do edits in the spec
06:51:07 [anthony]
... when it's ready for publication of the REC
06:51:27 [anthony]
... the first one says when it's ready for a REC, someone will have to create a blank errata page
06:51:29 [anthony]
... and link to it
06:51:48 [anthony]
... given that's only something team people can only do
06:51:55 [anthony]
... maybe Doug could have this action
06:52:00 [anthony]
DS: Makes sense
06:52:42 [anthony]
CM: ACTION-2643 was to make a single page version for both HTML and PDF
06:52:51 [anthony]
... the HTML one is automatically generated
06:52:58 [anthony]
... The PDF might need a bit of work
06:53:06 [anthony]
... change the styles around
06:53:10 [anthony]
... to make it look nice
06:53:53 [anthony]
AG: Could just print to a PDF generator
06:54:01 [trackbot]
ACTION-2537 -- Cameron McCormack to reply to the style/script thread -- due 2009-05-06 -- OPEN
06:54:01 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2537
06:54:18 [anthony]
CM: Probably not that critical
06:54:37 [anthony]
... if you do a print to PDF it shouldn't be too hard
06:54:52 [anthony]
... this one could be reassigned to someone then
06:55:02 [anthony]
AG: I can probably take the action
06:55:15 [anthony]
CM: Still doesn't need to be done until we got the final REC version
06:55:35 [anthony]
... there's just some place in the index to HTML that links to the PDF version
06:56:49 [anthony]
ACTION-2644?
06:56:56 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2644
06:57:10 [anthony]
CM: Was thinking Chris might be good to do this one
06:57:19 [anthony]
... this is to make sure the DTD on w3.org is updated
06:57:24 [anthony]
... when the spec is published
06:57:44 [anthony]
ACTION-2675
06:57:49 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2675
06:58:00 [anthony]
CM: This is the one to send to the HMTL WG
06:58:09 [anthony]
s/HMTL/HTML/
06:58:25 [anthony]
CM: And this is to send the email about what we decided at the F2F
06:58:33 [anthony]
... to the HTML WG
06:58:44 [anthony]
... and in the action there is a link to the day 3 minutes
06:58:50 [anthony]
... with all the points that we were working through
06:59:19 [anthony]
ED: I can probably take that action
06:59:36 [anthony]
... I will probably summarise that and get comments
06:59:39 [anthony]
... before sending that out
06:59:55 [ed]
http://www.w3.org/2009/09/28-svg-minutes.html#item01
06:59:55 [anthony]
CL: I don't see an action for this
06:59:58 [trackbot]
ACTION-2644 -- Chris Lilley to update the 1.1 DTD under /Graphics/SVG when publishing 1.1SE -- due 2009-08-12 -- OPEN
06:59:58 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2644
07:00:08 [anthony]
... but you had that spread sheet with the test results for 1.1
07:00:20 [anthony]
... we should put in an action to say where it is
07:00:35 [anthony]
CM: I will remind myself to find that email it to the list
07:00:57 [anthony]
... is there some action you want to come out of that?
07:01:04 [anthony]
CL: Makes it easier to track
07:01:52 [anthony]
ACTION: Chris to Take over spreadsheet implementation report for the errata tests
07:03:49 [anthony]
ACTION-2680
07:03:56 [ChrisL]
ACTION-2682
07:03:56 [ChrisL]
Take over spreadsheet implementation report for the 1.1 SE errata tests
07:03:57 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2680
07:04:25 [anthony]
CM: At the f2f we were discussing the issue in the HTML WG about foreign name space data being in SVG files
07:04:34 [anthony]
... and when that is pasted into document
07:04:44 [anthony]
... it causes the SVG part to be invalid
07:05:00 [anthony]
... due to issues with the ":"
07:05:01 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-2683 - Take over spreadsheet implementation report for the errata tests [on Chris Lilley - due 2009-10-21].
07:05:26 [anthony]
... we were playing on the board with mapping prefixes to fixed name spaces
07:05:42 [anthony]
... and actually I noticed that MS sent their own proposal
07:05:44 [anthony]
... to the HTML WG
07:05:53 [anthony]
... which was very similar
07:05:56 [anthony]
... parts of it were
07:06:16 [anthony]
... some of the options you could choose was close to full blown name spaces
07:06:30 [anthony]
... and restricted version that was fixed prefixes
07:06:46 [anthony]
... I think that proposal will result in a lot of discussion at TPAC
07:06:58 [anthony]
... it will not really add anything if we sent in this proposal
07:06:59 [ChrisL]
also at the AC meeting
07:07:05 [anthony]
CL: Well it shows support\
07:07:15 [anthony]
ED: Just looking through the minutes
07:07:27 [anthony]
... there is some discussion
07:07:33 [anthony]
... I could make it as part of the other action I have
07:07:43 [anthony]
CM: Do you remember what the actual proposal was?
07:07:48 [anthony]
ED: It's not clear from the minutes
07:07:54 [anthony]
CL: One thing we could say
07:07:59 [anthony]
... is we discussed these things
07:08:03 [anthony]
... and you could do this or that
07:08:09 [anthony]
... and comment on the MS proposal
07:08:15 [anthony]
... if it meets our requirements
07:08:20 [anthony]
... we should push for it
07:08:22 [ChrisL]
basically if the MS proposal meets our needs we should say so
07:08:53 [anthony]
CM: What we were discussing in the F2F was getting the parser to get a set of predefined prefix mapping
07:09:03 [anthony]
... the parser will know about certain prefixes
07:09:10 [anthony]
... and would be able to split the colon
07:09:21 [anthony]
... put the element in the correct name space
07:09:26 [anthony]
DS: Our proposal was simpler than MS
07:09:42 [anthony]
... and met more of the HTML needs
07:09:53 [anthony]
CL: we could position ourselves in the middle ground
07:10:04 [anthony]
DS: We could also point to the minutes
07:10:12 [anthony]
... to say we decided this before the MS proposal
07:10:25 [anthony]
CM: The other point about our proposal if the implementation didn't know about the prefix
07:11:04 [anthony]
... it would put it in an "unknown" name space URI
07:11:16 [anthony]
DS: It would be a specific name space
07:11:22 [anthony]
... to say I don't know the name space
07:11:33 [anthony]
CL: Better idea than putting it into the HTML name space
07:11:40 [anthony]
DS: In some ways it would be easier to debug
07:11:52 [anthony]
... because they'd see it be in the 'what ever' name space
07:11:58 [anthony]
... it would be an easy way to check
07:12:05 [anthony]
... and that goes towards extensibility
07:12:15 [anthony]
CM: One thing that our proposal didn't handle
07:12:25 [anthony]
... is it doesn't do anything about non-prefixed elements
07:12:45 [anthony]
... un-prefixed elements would go into the HTML name space
07:12:57 [anthony]
... and the type of output you get from Inkscape
07:13:03 [anthony]
... tends to be all prefixed anyway
07:13:08 [anthony]
ED: I think so
07:13:28 [anthony]
CM: Maybe it would be a good idea
07:13:32 [anthony]
... to go through the MS proposal
07:13:38 [anthony]
... and compare it to this one
07:14:17 [anthony]
... so ED you can do this as well?
07:14:21 [anthony]
ED: What's the time frame?
07:14:29 [anthony]
DS: I'd say before TPAC
07:14:35 [anthony]
CM: By the end of the month would be good
07:14:43 [anthony]
... not sure if they're going to stick to their schedule
07:14:53 [anthony]
... I did say I'd give comments soon after our F2F
07:16:33 [anthony]
ED: Assign the action to me anyway
07:17:17 [anthony]
CM: That's all the actions I listed
07:17:21 [anthony]
... in my email
07:17:37 [anthony]
... the other actions that are open on me are not as important
07:17:46 [shepazu]
html wg process: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html
07:17:55 [anthony]
ED: You listed a few things regarding the 2nd edition spec
07:18:06 [anthony]
CM: I listed all the things we need to get done for 2nd edition
07:18:13 [anthony]
... some of those are related to the actions
07:18:18 [anthony]
... some them are other things
07:19:17 [anthony]
ED: For the one I didn't know anything about the Java bindings
07:19:21 [anthony]
... do we need to have them
07:19:24 [anthony]
... to publish the spec
07:19:28 [anthony]
... or is that nice to have thing?
07:19:45 [anthony]
CL: What would they use? seems odd to publish
07:19:53 [anthony]
... then say use the old ones
07:19:56 [ChrisL]
seems odd to make people look at 1.1FE for the Java bindings
07:20:21 [anthony]
... problem is we don't have a method to convert IDL to Java
07:20:31 [anthony]
... and that's a non trivial problem?
07:20:36 [anthony]
CM: Don't have a method
07:20:45 [anthony]
... might be non trivial
07:20:54 [anthony]
CL: Did someone have a compiler?
07:20:59 [anthony]
CM: I thought someone did
07:21:05 [ChrisL]
http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/omg_idl_to_java_language_mapping.htm
07:21:12 [anthony]
... is that part of the XML spec? I don't know
07:21:32 [anthony]
CL: That's the spec
07:21:34 [anthony]
... it's not a tool
07:21:47 [ChrisL]
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/idl/mapping/jidlMapping.html
07:21:56 [anthony]
CL: However that's the too;
07:22:05 [anthony]
s/too;/tool/
07:22:28 [anthony]
CL: As to whether it would resemble anything that's similar to the old one I don't know
07:23:05 [anthony]
ED: Someone should take an action to investigate how to do this
07:23:12 [anthony]
... or if it was a tool
07:23:21 [anthony]
... that we used to use
07:23:39 [anthony]
CM: From the description of the table the types are mapping as I'd expect them too
07:23:50 [anthony]
... the main problem is making sure the output gets put in the right package
07:23:56 [anthony]
... that sort of thing can be manually fixed up
07:23:59 [anthony]
... if that doesn't work
07:25:10 [anthony]
... if the output of the IDLJ doesn't look appropriate then we should ask Jon how he did it
07:26:51 [anthony]
DS: You will not be joining the next telcon correct?
07:26:53 [anthony]
CM: Yes
07:30:48 [heycam]
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-SVGReq
07:31:34 [anthony]
DS: Cameron thank you for all the help, you've been one of the main drivers of the standard
07:32:13 [Zakim]
-heycam
07:33:28 [anthony]
... and we'll see you when you get back
07:36:12 [anthony]
CL: Doug what's the latest status on the one you had publication denied for?
07:36:22 [anthony]
DS: It was all Anthony
07:36:28 [anthony]
AG: It was all me
07:36:34 [anthony]
... it's all fixed now
07:36:58 [anthony]
DS: I had had an embed element for there for completeness sake
07:37:19 [anthony]
... but I was told to take it out because it wasn't valid
07:37:25 [anthony]
... what do you guys think about this?
07:37:31 [anthony]
CL: Why does it have an embed in there?
07:37:42 [anthony]
DS: It's like a test sort of
07:37:54 [anthony]
... having an example in the spec that shows them how to do it
07:38:02 [anthony]
... is a good help for implementing
07:38:13 [anthony]
CL: It's more important to get it published
07:38:23 [anthony]
... you could make HTML and not XHTML
07:38:26 [anthony]
... that would be another option
07:38:52 [anthony]
... I think this can only be done for non-Rec specs
07:39:22 [anthony]
DS: Don't think that is possible
07:39:30 [anthony]
... HTML 5 couldn't be published as HTML 5
07:39:46 [anthony]
... ok you'll have do the other option
07:40:12 [anthony]
s/... ok you'll have to do the other option/CL: you'll have to do the other option/

Topic: Publication
07:40:33 [anthony]
ED: Filters spec we resolved to published
07:40:40 [anthony]
... the only one I've touched is the language one
07:40:53 [anthony]
... which include all the IDLs
07:40:58 [anthony]
... which has a lot of good fixes
07:41:25 [ed]
http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/filters/publish/SVGFilter.html
07:41:41 [anthony]
ED: The only thing left to do
07:41:46 [anthony]
... is get the date link fixed
07:41:51 [anthony]
... and that's it
07:41:57 [anthony]
... wasn't sure what to put there
07:42:08 [anthony]
... because I wasn't sure date it would go out
07:42:18 [anthony]
DS: Do we have everything else that we need?
07:42:27 [anthony]
ED: All the links in the spec have been fixed as far as I know
07:42:44 [anthony]
... haven't check it for pub rules
07:43:32 [anthony]
RESOLUTION: We will publish the Filters specification

Topic: Using SVG Color in XSL
07:47:14 [anthony]
CL: Anthony you replied to my email but thought I was proposing something for SVG
07:47:33 [anthony]
... but I was proposing something for XSL
07:47:55 [anthony]
AG: Yes, I got that from your reply
07:48:22 [anthony]
CL: The proposal for device-n channel has two functions
07:48:26 [anthony]
... one with an RGB fall back
07:48:34 [anthony]
... and another with a CYMK fallback
07:48:44 [anthony]
s/CYMK/CMYK/
07:49:07 [anthony]
... the CMYK fallback is not in any known name space
07:49:12 [anthony]
... so it doesn't make sense
07:49:22 [anthony]
... nesting color spaces is one way to get around that
07:49:26 [anthony]
... and I plan to propose that
07:49:58 [anthony]
... At SVG Open I did a quick lighting talk on Vector Effects
07:50:03 [anthony]
... I think there was some interest
07:50:12 [anthony]
DS: I think there was definitely interest
07:50:24 [anthony]
... the map people are particularly interested
07:51:48 [anthony]
... I look forward to seeing vector effects published but knowing it doesn't solve the problem of variable stroke width
07:51:57 [anthony]
... I know how to move forward on that
07:52:39 [anthony]
... I was thinking it would be a separate element
07:52:42 [anthony]
... I got that far
07:52:48 [anthony]
CL: It should be something like gradients
07:53:03 [anthony]
DS: Should be something more like a pattern essentially
07:54:04 [anthony]
Topic: Issue tracking for comments
07:54:12 [anthony]
ED: Is anyone assigned to this?
07:54:31 [anthony]
CL: The issue is knowing if someone has taken it
07:54:48 [anthony]
... if someone sends a quick email saying I've spotted this and raised it
07:54:55 [anthony]
... or I've spotted this but it's not a problem
07:55:07 [anthony]
DS: This would be good if it were easy to import stuff into tracker
07:55:43 [anthony]
... rather than manually copying stuff
07:55:56 [anthony]
... if we do this to tracker it will be more useful in the long term
07:56:11 [anthony]
... now that I have a bit of breathing room I will give it another try
