Any change requests? 13:05:09 Topic: Announcements 13:05:14 AB: any short announcements? 13:05:21 Topic: Digital Signature spec 13:05:30 AB: later today we will discuss publishing a CR with the Team ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-digsig/ ). We have 1 hour for two specs. 13:06:17 AB: I expect most of the discussion to focus "what's changed?". 13:06:23 zakim, code? 13:06:23 the conference code is 9231 (tel:+1.617.761.6200 tel:+33.4.89.06.34.99 tel:+44.117.370.6152), Steven 13:06:51 AB: since CR#1 was published, we effectively applied two Change Requests: the first included moving from C14N 1.0 to 1.1 and some other fixes and the second change request fixed a few bugs and increased the spec's "testability". 13:07:21 AB: the changes between July 2009 CR and April 15 LCWD are briefly summarized in the status section ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-widgets-digsig-20100415/#status ) and more details can be found in the following thread ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0054.html ). 13:08:13 AB: hoping FH could lead that discussion 13:08:46 ... since FH isn't here now, I follow-up with him about the call 13:09:22 MC: yes, FH should be on the call to talk about those changes 13:09:35 bryan_sullivan has joined #wam 13:09:43 AB: the changes between the 15 April LCWD and 11 May LCWD are summarized in the 11 May LC ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-widgets-digsig-20100511/#changes-since-last-publication- ). 13:09:54 present+ bryan_sullivan 13:09:59 +Bryan_Sullivan 13:10:07 Present+ Bryan 13:10:35 fjh has joined #wam 13:11:52 +[IPcaller] 13:11:57 AB: while we wait for FH to join, any other issues or concerns re DigSig? 13:12:00 zakim, [IPcaller] is me 13:12:00 +fjh; got it 13:12:10 MC: I feel confident about this 13:12:50 AB: again the changes between July 2009 CR and April 15 LCWD are briefly summarized in the status section ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-widgets-digsig-20100415/#status ) and more details can be found in the following thread ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0054.html ). 13:13:56 FH: yes, I will be there 13:14:49 ... have any issues been raised? 13:14:53 AB: not that I know about 13:15:06 AB: anything else on digsig 13:15:25 -fjh 13:15:27 Present+ Frederick 13:15:44 Topic: view-mode Media Feature spec 13:16:28 AB: re today's CR ( http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/waf/widgets-vmmf/CR.html ) call with the Team, are there any concerns or issue? 13:16:56 AB: Robin is not likely to attend the call but Marcos agreed to take the lead 13:17:28 MC: I looked at the disposition of comments and don't see any issues 13:17:47 AB: anyone have concerns about the view-mode spec? 13:18:04 Topic: Packaging and Configuration spec 13:18:22 AB: Marcos added text re "Changes Since Last Publication" ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/pub/#changes-since-last-publication ). Any comments? 13:19:03 SP: no concerns 13:19:39 AB: we need to talk about Normative References and PR. The [Sniff] spec is a Normative Reference. Does this block us from publishing a PR? 13:20:10 AB: I want to understand if this is a problem? 13:20:21 SP: if it is a WIP we have a prob 13:20:57 AB: what is the process here? 13:21:18 SP: a normative ref should be in step with the spec to be published 13:21:27 ... it can be one step behind but only briefly 13:21:41 AB: the ref is: 13:21:43 [[ 13:21:47 [SNIFF] 13:21:48 Media Type Sniffing. A. Barth and I. Hickson. IETF. November 5, 2010 (Work in Progress). 13:21:50 ]] 13:21:58 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-abarth-mime-sniff-05 13:22:08 AB: what does this mean Steven? 13:22:27 SP: not sure about the status of this spec 13:22:46 AB: I don't know about the IETF process 13:23:05 SP: yes, I haven't referenced IETF WIPs so I don't know how this is handled 13:23:26 ACTION: barstow work with StevenP re the [Sniff] IETF reference in the widget packaging spec 13:23:26 Created ACTION-561 - Work with StevenP re the [Sniff] IETF reference in the widget packaging spec [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-06-24]. 13:24:37 AB: Marcos, are there any other references issue for P&C spec? 13:24:48 MC: Widget DigSig but that will soon be CR 13:25:05 ... CSS21 is still a CR 13:25:15 ... I think Sniff spec is the only issue 13:26:37 AB: we will wait to hear from the Team on how we deal with Sniff spec 13:26:44 Topic: Widget Interface spec 13:26:55 AB: The TWI spec ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ ) has a Normative dependency on Web IDL. 13:27:07 kenneth has joined #wam 13:27:08 ... and we also have no active Editor for Web IDL 13:27:34 MC: one idea is to use OMG IDL 13:27:42 ... that was used previously 13:27:50 ... we don't really need Web IDL 13:27:55 ... we can use prose instead 13:28:02 ... the interface is so simple 13:28:06 kenneth has joined #wam 13:28:16 ... In this case, TWI spec doesn't really win anything by using Web IDL 13:28:24 AB: I came to the same conclusion 13:28:43 ... my pref would be to not add a new ref but to update the spec directly 13:29:00 ... by that I mean do not reference OMG IDL 13:29:30 ... I noticed only 3 Web IDL refs: ReadONly, Supplemental, NoInterfaceObject 13:29:50 ... and I think we could simply cut-and-paste some definitions and hence not need the reference 13:30:03 MC: yes, I agree 13:30:15 +1 13:31:07 AB: we can create a new section that includes these defs and just explain that since Web IDL isn't ready, we copied the definitions we need 13:31:13 MC: yes, could do that 13:31:18 q+ to talk about normative refs (when the time comes) 13:31:28 BS: yes, that makes sense to me 13:31:49 ... but we do need to address the Web IDL Editor issue 13:31:53 AB: yes, agree 13:32:23 AB: if we go that route to add definitions into the spec, will that require going back to LC? 13:32:59 ... I think the precedence we've followed to date is that if we just do a cut-and-paste, we haven't really changed anything that would affect an implementation 13:33:06 ... thus, no need to go back to LC 13:33:15 MC: sounds good 13:33:49 SP: I think that would be OK 13:34:00 ... I don't think it would change any software 13:34:07 ... so that's OK with me 13:34:10 MC: yes, agree 13:34:41 AB: so the consensus is that cutting and pasting definitions from Web IDL to the TWI spec would not require a new LC 13:35:16 SP: I talked to Ian Jacobs - don't make normative references to unstable materials 13:35:26 ... in this case, Sniff may change 13:35:34 ... thus it needs to be stable 13:35:50 MC: I would argue Sniff is already widely implemented 13:36:00 ... it has been part of the Web Platform for a long time 13:36:12 ... We can get some status from Adam 13:36:32 ... I think it is good and matches reality 13:36:44 ACTION: Marcos determine the status of IETF's Sniff spec 13:36:44 Created ACTION-562 - Determine the status of IETF's Sniff spec [on Marcos Caceres - due 2010-06-24]. 13:37:23 SP: formally, CSS2.1 is also a problem case for Widget P&C spec 13:37:56 ... the mis-match must be brief 13:38:09 ... want the references to be at equal states 13:38:20 MC: P&C references CSS pixels 13:38:45 ... I don't think we want to copy that entire section of CSS2.1 13:39:27 ACTION: marcso work with ArtB and SteveP re P&C's reference to CSS2.1 13:39:27 Sorry, couldn't find user - marcso 13:40:37 AB: does anyone know the plan for CSS2.1 to go to PR? 13:40:46 MC: I don't know if it ever will go to PR 13:41:03 ... since it will need thousands of tests 13:41:18 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units 13:41:30 ... we can copy some text re pixels 13:43:52 AB: I thought a spec could be parked in PR even though its refs were not yet in PR 13:44:00 SP: no, that's not the way it works 13:44:22 ... A person couldn't really vote on a spec if it is in PR if its refs were not stable 13:44:34 ... if a ref is not stable, it can still change 13:46:18 MC: we do have an "out" for P&C and CSS2.1 because CSS2.0 includes the identical text for pixels 13:48:07 AB: the Widget Interface normative refernces HTML5 13:48:24 ... so we'll need to think about that as well as Web Storage 13:48:43 AB: we also still have ISSUE-116 ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/116 ) open. 13:48:58 MC: nothing new to report on that 13:49:42 ... expect some progress next week 13:50:03 AB: last call for spec discussions for today ... 13:50:12 Topic: AOB 13:50:18 AB: Calls during the summer and summer holidays. In general, I don't want to have a call if lead Editor isn't available. 13:53:25 Regrets for next week, 29 Jul, and the first three weeks of AUg 13:53:40 s/AUg/Aug/ 13:54:00 AB: make the next call July 1 13:54:07 AB: re planning, roadmap, ToDos, etc., see the Action list and PubStatus page ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/PubStatus#Widget_Specifications ) 13:55:00 SP: we are still waiting for WARP PAG to conclude, right? 13:55:03 AB: yes 13:55:59 AB: anything else for today? 13:57:30 http://www.w3.org/2010/webapps/charter/ 13:57:34 lca has joined #wam 13:59:24 MC: what about a widget conformace checker? 13:59:34 AB: if it is non-normative, we can publish it 13:59:38 SP: yes, agree 13:59:51 MC: OK, I may bring this up later 13:59:57 AB: that would be a great idea 14:00:14 AB: meeting adjourned 14:00:29 RRSAgent, make minutes 14:00:29 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/06/17-wam-minutes.html ArtB 14:00:48 -Steven 14:00:50 -Marcos 14:00:58 -Bryan_Sullivan 14:01:15 -Art_Barstow 14:01:19 IA_WebApps(Widgets)9:00AM has ended 14:01:21 Attendees were Art_Barstow, +1.479.524.aaaa, Steven, Marcos, Bryan_Sullivan, fjh 14:07:40 zakim, bye 14:07:40 Zakim has left #wam 15:21:40 Marcos has joined #wam 15:34:28 Art, ArtB? 15:34:38 Hi Steven 15:34:52 Hi there.
