Review and tweak agenda

AB: yesterday I submitted the draft agenda for today ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009OctDec/1343.html ). The meeting will end at the end of this hour at the latest. Any change requests?

[ no ]

Announcements

AB: the only announcement I have is the next call is 7 January 2010. Any other short annoucements?
... any others?

[ no ]

Widget DigSig spec: test suite status

AB: the Test Suite wiki ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WidgetTesting#Widgets_1.0:_Digital_Signature_spec ) contains some info about DigSig. What is the status of the DigSig test suite?

MC: I have not been working on it
... Kai and Dom started
... but they haven't done anything in the last two months

AB: does any anticipate participating in this test suite?

MC: yes; expect Opera to contribute tests next year
... but there is a lot of work to do
... must go thru ever assertion in the spec
... and create a test case
... Not sure how much has been done by Kai and Dom
... perhaps they have discussed it in the MWTS WG
... The spec isn't written the same way P&C is so it's a bit more work to generate test assertions

<scribe> ACTION: barstow to follow-up with MWTS WG re the Widget DigSig test suite re their plans, status, etc. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/17-wam-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-471 - Follow-up with MWTS WG re the Widget DigSig test suite re their plans, status, etc. [on Arthur Barstow - due 2009-12-24].

AB: I'll plan to provide an update re MWTS on Jan 7

MC: I'll also follow-up with Kai

AB: anyone else on DigSig test suite for today?

Widget DigSig spec: implementation status

AB: the Implementation wiki ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WidgetImplementation ) contains some info about DigSig. Is there any other Public info about DigSig implementations we can add?
... is there anything else to add here?

[ silence ]

<fjh> what do we need to do with andreas?

AB: anything else on this topic for today?

FH: I think Andreas is asking for some help
... he is looking for a CA
... perhaps there is some process that needs to start
... I'm not quite sure how W3C would work with him

AB: is there anything from previoius XML DigSig interop that can be used?

FH: just use openssl
... perhaps he can move his stuff into the WG's space

MC: have you looked at Andreas' work?

FH: perhaps he's just offering the service
... and we need to wait for another impl

<scribe> ACTION: barstow respond to the 21-Oct-2009 email from Andreas re Widget Dig Sig [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/17-wam-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-472 - Respond to the 21-Oct-2009 email from Andreas re Widget Dig Sig [on Arthur Barstow - due 2009-12-24].

AB: anything else on DigSig for today?

[ no ]

URI spec: status of LC comments

AB: comment tracking document is ( http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42538/WD-widgets-uri-20091007/doc/ ). What is the status of Larry Masinter's replies to your responses Robin?

RB: LM has accepted 1 clearly
... not replied to some
... a few appear to be disagreements and I replied to those

AB: I suspect we may not get closure here until January; is that your take too?

RB: yes. We need more discussion.

AB: anything you need from the WG?

RB: nothing specific
... everyone should feel free to respond

AB: anyone have any comments about the exchanges so far?

[ no ]

URI spec: scheme registration

AB: Robin, what's the status of registering the widget: URI scheme?

RB: I believe we should wait until we are in CR before making the registration request
... must have a stable spec
... We will have some process to follow
... specific mail list for discussion in IETF, etc.
... I had hoped there was a "fast track" for scheme registration but there isn't

AB: your proposal to wait until CR before making the registration request makes sense to me
... so that will be our Plan of Record
... anything else on this topic?

[ no ]

View Modes Media Features spec

AB: one or two calls ago, Marcos mentioned a document by VF re the VM-MF spec ( http://lab.vodafone.com/w3c/vmmf-20091201.html ). What is the status of this spec vis-a-vis the WG?

RB: this was developed as a suggestion
... I think we should consider it as a WG input
... we should accept what make sense
... it comes from people that are using the technology
... so it is based on real use case
... think it's a good input
... so I am in favor of integrating it

AB: is the idea the interfaces would be added to the VM-MF spec?

RB: no, I think those interfaces should be considered for VM-I
... those interfaces are pretty simple
... think we could add them to VM-I

AB: clear message for the group is that this input is for both the VM-MF and VM-I specs
... not sure how we want to handle this process-wise
... if people don't comment otherwise, the Editors should feel free to take the good stuff
... is this about right?

RB: yes

MC: yes; it's an input for discussion
... we need to evaluate the input
... it is indeed based on real use cases
... yes, we should target them at the right specs

AB: an action for everyone to review that input by Jan 7

<scribe> ACTION: barstow follow-up on the VF VM-MF thread and ask people to submit comments on the proposal [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/12/17-wam-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-473 - Follow-up on the VF VM-MF thread and ask people to submit comments on the proposal [on Arthur Barstow - due 2009-12-24].

AB: anything else on view modes for today?

[ no ]

Updates spec

AB: last week Marcos said he was planning to have the Updates spec ready for a new WD publication and it would include all of the PAG's recommendation. Marcos, what's the status?

MC: I've done a lot of work on it but it isn't ready yet
... still trying to work about some of the model
... Robin and I have had some offlist discussions
... One issue is where updates are done i.e. local disk or just from the Web
... perhaps each should model should have its own spec
... currently, the spec just covers updates over HTTP and a local storage medium
... thinking about changing the scope to only cover the HTTP case

AB: any comments about that?
... I will need to get some internal feedback
... but wrt the publication issue, I have no problem with delaying publication until we think we are ready

MC: we've only done a FPWD so it's still not very well fleshed out
... would prefer to have something more concrete before making a new pub

AB: that's OK with me
... so we can expect a proposal from you in early January?

MC: yes

AB: anything else on this spec for today?

[ no ]

AOB

<darobin> yes

AB: any topics for AOB?
... I don't have

BS: as I mentioned to some of you already, I am changing jobs at Orange
... consequently, I will not attend widget calls anymore
... I am not sure yet who will be a permanent replacement
... but we have identified a temporary replacement

RB: we will miss you!

<timeless_mbp> yeah, we'll miss you

AB: thanks very much for your participation Benoit!
... best of luck in your new job!

BS: Best of Luck to you to get the specs DONE!

Arve: yes, good luck Benoit

AB: happy holidays and happy new year
... Thanks very much for a very productive 2009!

BS: yes, it was a very productive year

RB: we'll finish everything next year!
