As such, I think the spec is ready to be published as a Candidate Recommendation. Any comments? 13:06:28 SP: if there are no comments, it will raise some suspicion 13:07:12 AB: we published a CR last summer 13:07:25 ... the LCs we published since then reflected impl feedback 13:07:39 ... we also got review from XML Sec WG 13:07:50 SP: ok; include that data in the Trans Req 13:07:52 AB: will do 13:08:00 AB: proposed resolution: the group agrees to publish a Candidate Recommendation of the widgets Digital Signature spec 13:08:15 AB: any comments? 13:08:22 AB: any objections? 13:08:27 MC: Opera supports CR 13:08:40 FH: I think it supports a lot of good improvements 13:08:43 ...

Perhaps we should use the WARP CR as a template for the SotD (http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-access/) 13:09:58 MC: I can do it but not until next week 13:10:41 FH: when do you expect to publish? 13:10:54 AB: probably not until June 22 or 24 13:13:06 ACTION: macros notify Art when the DigSig CR SotD is updated 13:13:06 Sorry, couldn't find user - macros 13:13:28 ACTION: marcos notify Art when the DigSig CR SotD is updated 13:13:28 Created ACTION-559 - Notify Art when the DigSig CR SotD is updated [on Marcos Caceres - due 2010-06-10]. 13:13:36 AB: what is the date of the earliest PR?

They were are marked as "Editorial". What is the status Marcos? 13:16:25 -fjh 13:16:56 MC: I think I addressed them all 13:17:26 AB: please check and make any editorial changes that are needed 13:17:35 AB: there was also an email from Addison Phillips the Chair of the I18N WG ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0863.html ). In this e-mail he voiced support for the spec changes Marcos has made. As such I think we have "closed the loop" with the I18N WG and the spec is ready for a new publication which is a Proposed Recommendation. 13:18:00 AB: any comments on publishing P&C as a Proposed Rec? 13:18:29 AB: Marcos, we have implementation data? 13:18:37 MC: yes 13:18:51 ... and we can also have some implementation data for the I18N stuff 13:19:23 AB: are we going to need a 2nd impl for the I18N features? 13:19:40 MC: if we can show a JS impl and an Opera impl 13:19:42 +Josh_Soref 13:19:48 ... that should be sufficient 13:19:52 Present+ Josh 13:20:11 SP: if a May, then yes, 1 impl should be enough; 2 would of course be better 13:20:20 AB: proposed resolution: the group agrees to publish a Proposed Recommendation of the Widget Packaging and Configuration spec 13:20:36 AB: any objections? 13:20:47 AB: any support you want to indicate? 13:20:53 +1 13:21:00 SP: yes, go for it 13:21:04 RB: support 13:21:09 MC: support 13:21:16 AB: I also support this 13:21:27 RESOLUTION: the group agrees to publish a Proposed Recommendation of the Widget Packaging and Configuration spec 13:21:29 rrsagent, make minutes 13:21:29 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/06/03-wam-minutes.html Steven 13:21:41 AB: Marcos, please prepare the doc for publication. You may want to look at other PRs in /TR/ e.g. CSS3 Selectors ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/PR-css3-selectors-20091215/ ) 13:22:22 AB: this will require a Director's call as well as some additional process e.g. AC review. 13:22:47 ... I need to read up on the Process part 13:22:52 SP: need a transition call 13:23:00 ... then a vote form gets sent to the AC 13:23:11 ... Must make sure that AC reps submit their vote 13:23:22 ... We want to get as many votes as we can 13:23:30 AB: excellent advice 13:24:01 SP: do we want to include 3 specs in one trans call? 13:24:18 AB: the advice I got from PLH is to keep them to 1 hour 13:24:44 SP: let's first take care of the TransReq 13:24:47 ... and then the call 13:24:51 AB: OK; will do 13:25:02 ACTION: barstow submit a TransReq for P&C PR 13:25:02 Created ACTION-560 - Submit a TransReq for P&C PR [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-06-10]. 13:25:50 AB: anything else on P&C for today? 13:25:59 AB: CONGRATULATIONS TO MARCOS! 13:26:15 Topic: view-mode Media Feature spec 13:26:33 AB: last week we agreed to publish a CR of the VMMF spec 13:26:35 AB: Jim Allan from WAI's User Agent Guidelines WG submitted an e-mail ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0858.html ) about the VMMF spec. Marcos, Robin and I all responded. I haven't seen a reply from Jim nor the UA WG. 13:27:10 AB: I did ask Jim to please follow-up 13:27:35 AB: I am tempted to move ahead with the TransReq to CR 13:27:38 RB: I agree 13:28:06 AB: any concerns about moving forward? 13:28:22 "Please consider including a statement such as "The user agent *must* display the view-modes in a manner that meets the accessibility guidelines of UAAG20. "" 13:28:27 AB: hearing no concerns, I will proceed with the TransReq 13:29:11 RB: NB the "please CONSIDER" part 13:29:17 ... we did consider it 13:29:30 AB: the Plan of Record is to move forward 13:29:55 Topic: GZip, ... 13:30:06 AB: during the last call we began to discuss GZip, streaming and widget packaging, etc. ( http://www.w3.org/2010/05/27-wam-minutes.html#item06 ) but Arve wasn't available. 13:30:53 AB: we can discuss this today 13:31:16 Arve: the major diff between Zip and GZip Tarball 13:31:28 ... is the Zip has an index at the end of the file 13:31:43 ... need to wait for the zip to get loaded 13:31:52 ... with GZip, there is no such index 13:31:57 ... data stored in chunks 13:32:08 ... header contains the data needed 13:32:25 ... For packaged resources, GZip would allow immediate processing 13:32:56 ... so don't have to read everything before starting to process 13:33:14 ... Could place config.xml at the BoFile and then process it immediately 13:33:40 ... could process config.xml while the rest of the zip is still downloading 13:33:50 ... some widgets could benefit from this 13:33:58 ... e.g. large video or audio files in the package 13:34:22 ... could initialize and start game without the entire resource being available 13:34:35 ... this is a good advantage 13:34:55 ... Inserting this support into the current spec would just bloat the spec 13:35:00 ... and delay P&C 13:35:27 ... If we are to take this on, we should separate config into one spec and packaging into a separate spec 13:35:53 ... It would then allow Tar + GZ to be in a separate packaging spec 13:41:06 MC: if the market wants another signing format, we can specify one 13:41:21 ... XML Sig does work 13:41:29 ... we understand JAR signing could work too 13:41:46 ... on a technical level, XML Sig is OK 13:42:19 JS: one requirement is that it be easy to do 13:42:36 ... thus our use of Zip 13:42:59 ... relying on features on that are not readily available for on multiple platforms is not good 13:43:18 ... e.g. ordering of files in a Zip varies 13:44:39 Arve: if we have good use cases, tools will follow/exist 13:45:25 JS: the claim that Zip can't be used for streaming I questin 13:45:32 s/tin/tion/ 13:45:55 Arve: but end up doing more requests 13:46:37 JS: I think we have met our original reqs 13:46:52 ... there is no req for partial archives 13:47:27 ... I think the entire archive must be validated 13:47:51 ... concerned about partial archive validation 13:48:14 ... e.g. some file being deleted during the streaming 13:48:34 ... that would invalidate the signed archive 13:50:14 OK 13:50:18 The Game use case 13:50:24 The game has a start video 13:50:55 which is somehow "streamable" (it sounds like in order to make this work it needs to be interlaced, and I suspect that's either split across files or not done w/ tar) 13:51:05 [The Streaming Widget Use Case: you want to embed a widget in a web page. You want that to be fast. End of UC] 13:51:29 the game also has a file which it uses to verify that the game is licensed to this specific user 13:51:42 the game archive has a signature which ensures that the archive isn't tampered with 13:52:08 if the archive is retransmitted and someone deletes that file which was used to verify the license 13:52:31 then the author is surprised 13:52:42 because the author was relying on the signing of the complete package 13:52:47 and the package validation to protect the archive 13:52:53 -- 13:54:14 AB: does anyone plan to push this into WebApps charter? 13:54:27 Arve: not sure it is important enough at the moment 13:54:43 ... we do need to think about market forces 13:55:33 ... If there is going to be a round 2 of widget specs, we should consider UCs like tar-gz 13:56:06 ... Should consider the spec split regarless of whether the tar-gz UC will be addressed 13:56:16 s/regarless/regardless/ 13:56:29 JS: I am not opposed as making things extensible 13:56:35 s/as/to/ 13:56:38 s/opposed as/opposed to/ 13:57:13 Arve: re Robin and streaming embedded widgets, agree you want that to be fast 13:57:23 RB: don't think range requests will work 13:57:38 JS: not sure tar allows interleaving 13:57:58 Arve: yes, tar is one at a time 13:58:17 JS: perhaps MP3 could be used 13:59:03 s/MP3/MPEG tech/ 13:59:36 RB: we need to be careful with MPEG because of W3C Patent Policy 13:59:55 ... think WebM support carolseling (sp?) 14:00:18 Arve: WebM is video container format 14:00:33 ... not sure it is relevant for packaging web apps 14:00:38 s/carolseling/carouselling/ 14:01:04 [and I meant interleaving more than carouselling actually] 14:02:59 AB: want to stop this discussion for today 14:03:08 ... but we can resume June 17 14:03:52 Arve: want to propose a resolution ... 14:04:11 ... to repackage P&C into packaging and config spec 14:04:31 JS: I'm OK but not sure if our charter permits it 14:04:59 I think that the *content* is chartered, so splitting should be trivial, since there is good reason 14:05:21 AB: so is the proposal, after P&C PR is published, you want to split P&C into two separate specs? 14:05:23 Arve: yes 14:05:57 RB: I don't want to delay REC 14:06:19 Arve: what about WDs? 14:06:26 MC: I need to evaluate the spec 14:06:41 ... it could be viewed as Editorial 14:07:05 ... there could be some different ways to address the issue 14:07:31 ... e.g. make it clear a different packaing format could be used 14:08:14 AB: I am reluctant to record a resolution now 14:08:19 ... I need to think about it 14:08:27 MC: yes, we need to think this through first 14:08:39 [I would be happy with a resolution to do that right after Rec, for a no-change 1.1] 14:08:46 SP: if one could argue there would be no change in technical content, it would be safe 14:08:56 [if we have guarantees from W3M that we can safely split, then fine] 14:08:59 Arve: so safe to split the spec into two? 14:09:02 SP: yes 14:09:56 [additional consideration: if we split well enough, it's not widget-specific anymore] 14:10:08 AB: I agree that if we split the spec, it would not require a charter review 14:10:45 [we have Simple Web Packaging, Widget Configuration, Widget: Media Type and File Extension] 14:10:56 ... it could be this split would be a natural outcome of the Widget Embedding deliverable that has been proposed 14:11:17 [then we just add Streamable Web Packagin] 14:11:39 [streaming web packages may very well be a core requirement of embedded widgets] 14:11:50 [I think it ought to be] 14:12:19 [without it, loading files directly will feel faster than the compressed, packaged version :)] 14:12:32 Topic: AOB 14:12:37 AB: does anyone have anything to discuss? 14:13:05 http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/ 14:13:30 AB: no call on June 10; next call is June 17 14:13:55 RB: don't forget about the Privacy Workshop! 14:14:10 JS: where? 14:14:13 RB: London 14:14:23 ... mid July 14:14:37 ... before DAP f2f meeting 14:14:48 ... it is open to the Public 14:15:05 -Steven 14:15:34 Arve: one must submit a Position Paper to attend 14:15:38 JS: how long? 14:15:54 RB: length isn't important - cogent ideas are 14:16:08 AB: meeting adjourned 14:16:24 RSSAgent, make minutes 14:16:53 -Art_Barstow 14:16:54 - +1.479.524.aaaa 14:16:55 -darobin 14:17:10 RRSAgent, make minutes 14:17:10 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/06/03-wam-minutes.html ArtB 14:19:30 Marcos: are you attempting to speak? 14:19:38 in that case, you're muted 14:19:39 nope 14:20:19 zakim, who is here? 14:20:19 On the phone I see arve, Josh_Soref 14:20:20 On IRC I see arve, Marcos, RRSAgent, Zakim, darobin, Steven, fjh, timeless_mbp, ArtB, tlr, shepazu, kenneth, steve, timeless, trackbot 14:20:35 arve: you want me to dial in? 14:25:00 Marcos: no, I just thought you were talking to us 14:36:29 http://simonwillison.net/ 14:36:55 -Josh_Soref 14:36:56 -arve 14:36:56 IA_WebApps(Widgets)9:00AM has ended 14:36:58 Attendees were fjh, Art_Barstow, +1.479.524.aaaa, Steven, darobin, +47.23.69.aabb, arve, Josh_Soref 14:55:47 argh 14:55:57 did we agree on a pub date for Viewmodes? 14:59:16 MikeSmith has joined #wam 15:48:42 marcos, yes, let's shoot for June 22 pub for both CRs: DigSig and VMMF 15:49:51 ok, great.
