Any change requests? We will drop Issue-151 because Marcos already closed it. 14:08:15 Topic: Announcements 14:08:20 AB: any short announcements? 14:08:26 AB: Robin is now a member of the group as an Invited Expert 14:08:44 Topic: Packaging and Configuration spec 14:08:49 AB: re interop data for the P&C spec ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/imp-report/ ), the report shows we still need a substantial amount of data to pass CR. 14:09:21 darobin has joined #wam 14:09:38 MC: OBIGO gave me some data 14:09:42 arg sorry screwed up my reminder :( 14:09:44 ... they did a good job 14:09:51 ... I've been working with them 14:09:59 ... we've helped each other 14:10:19 +[IPcaller] 14:10:30 Zakim, IPcaller is me 14:10:30 +darobin; got it 14:10:56 Present: Art, Robin, Marcos, Steven 14:10:58 zakim, mute darobin temporarily 14:10:58 darobin should now be muted 14:11:14 darobin should now be unmuted again 14:11:31 ... I am also retesting with Opera 11 14:11:43 ... so we have data for a shipping product 14:12:19 AB: several of the impls are around 50% 14:12:29 ... is that because they haven't tested the I18N stuff? 14:12:33 MC: yes, that's right 14:12:57 AB: do you expect any additional data? 14:13:18 MC: the I18N tests are difficult to test 14:13:42 ... some of the tests are very low level that are difficult to test 14:14:03 ... the I18N tests are manual and as such take a lot of time to test 14:14:23 ... If the widget object is implemented, some of the test are easier to run 14:14:45 ... some of the I18N test use JS now but the tests haven't changed 14:15:02 ... Once we get agreement on the TWI spec, the P&C test suite can be completed 14:16:02 AB: should we publish a new CR while waiting for data?: 14:16:10 MC: I'm OK with that 14:16:24 ... we have handled the LC comments 14:16:35 AB: so we round-tripped with all the commenters? 14:16:41 MC: yes, I believe so 14:16:49 AB: that's my understanding as well 14:17:44 Topic: Widget Interface spec 14:17:48 AB: the ED is http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ 14:18:09 AB: the comment loop for the LCWD is still open re I18N WG's comment ( http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42538/WD-widgets-apis-20100907/ ) 14:18:42 AB: where do we stand on this? 14:19:03 http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/#the-localizablestring-interface 14:19:06 MC: go to section 7. http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/waf/widgets-api/Overview.html?rev=1.155&content-type=text/html;%20charset=iso-8859-1#the-localizablestring-interface 14:19:30 MC: I created a new LocalizedString interface 14:19:36 ... and it returns the language 14:19:46 var lang = widget.name.lang 14:20:13 MC: I made up a use case in the ED 14:20:21 ... and we can confirm that from the I18N WG 14:20:44 AB: so that takes care of the "what is the locale?" issue, right? 14:20:46 MC: yes 14:20:55 ... navigator.language 14:21:18 MC: the 2nd problem is what is the string 14:21:27 ... and the 3rd problem is what is the direction 14:21:48 http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/#getting-localizable-strings 14:21:51 MC: go to section 7.2 14:22:34 ... what I discovered is that inserting unicode markers into HTML, browsers don't respect the markers 14:22:45 http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/#example-2-base-direction-is-left-to-righ 14:22:45 ... example in 7.2.2 14:23:02 The widget's name is 'olleH'. 14:23:20 Should be The widget's name is 'Hello'. 14:23:21 ... look at the "Would render as" box 14:23:37 ... all browsers display the widget's name incorrectly 14:25:14 AB: so if I understand this correctly, we have a technical solution that is good but it has not been deployed/implemented by any browser. Is that correct? 14:25:18 MC: yes, that's correct 14:26:32 AB: think we need to get some feedback from the I18N WG 14:27:02 MC: the API does what it is supposed to do it's the browsers that don't support it properly 14:27:41 ... think we are going to have a coding mismatch regardless 14:28:38 SP: at one level, it's not our problem if browsers don't support it 14:28:52 ... it is our problem though, indirectly 14:29:00 MC: think we need to seek some guidance here 14:29:11 ... I think we've captured the problem 14:29:31 ... #1 issue: browsers don't respect Unicode Markers 14:29:59 ... #2 issue: what do we do if the page is not in Unicode 14:30:13 RB: Unicode markers can be inserted using Entity Refs 14:30:41 MC: but what if the doc has multiple encodings? 14:30:51 RB: can't have multipe encodings 14:31:00 ... in a single doc 14:31:32 ... < more details by RB on character sets, encodings and Entity Refs ... > 14:32:44 AB: so I think the next step then is to ask the I18N WG to review the new ED ASAP 14:32:47 http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars.html 14:33:30 ACTION: barstow Ask the I18N WG to review the new Section 7 of the TWI spec 14:33:30 Created ACTION-612 - Ask the I18N WG to review the new Section 7 of the TWI spec [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-11-25]. 14:33:43 AB: other than review, what else do we ask them? 14:33:58 MC: I think it is mainly the two issues above 14:34:43 ... think we need to have advice of implementors and developers 14:36:09 AB: would like to come back to P&C and promoting to CR or wait until we resolve the TWI issue? 14:36:19 MC: would prefer to wait until TWI is sorted out 14:36:46 AB: that's what we'll do 14:37:14 Topic: Digital Signature spec 14:37:20 AB: the Implementation Report for widgets digsig show no ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-digsig/imp-report/ ) implementation data. 14:37:43 AB: anything new re implementation data? 14:37:55 MC: no, I don't have any additional data for widgets-digsig 14:38:10 Topic: Access Requests Policy (WARP) spec 14:38:18 AB: what's the latest on the WARP spec re implementations ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-access/imp-report/ )? 14:38:30 AB: we still have an open PAG 14:38:35 ... for WARP spec 14:39:05 RB: the PAG should probably move fwd 14:39:13 SP: who are we waiting for? 14:39:21 RB: think Rigo 14:39:42 ... we need to know what the PAG needs to do in specific terms 14:40:02 ACTION: barstow followup with the Team on the status and plan for the WARP PAG 14:40:03 Created ACTION-613 - Followup with the Team on the status and plan for the WARP PAG [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-11-25]. 14:40:42 AB: no surprise there is no data on the implementation of WARP given the PAG is still open 14:40:53 Topic: URI Scheme spec 14:40:57 AB: the URI scheme spec is still in LC ( http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42538/WD-widgets-uri-20091008/ ). What is the status and plan? 14:41:19 AB: anything new on this spec? 14:41:26 RB: nothing new to report 14:41:59 MC: we have implemented it in some products 14:42:07 ... that with WARP is very useful 14:42:12 The PAG Charter has expired 14:42:19 RB: any implementation feedback? 14:42:24 MC: it works well 14:42:56 ... WARP + widget uri as origin is working 14:43:08 ... we don't display the widget origin 14:43:13 ... but it underlies things 14:43:46 q+ to talk about the PAG 14:44:01 MC: we have also implemented navigation of package content... so you can browse resources inside a package 14:44:32 SP: re the WARP PAG, the Charter has expired 14:44:47 ... the Director can extend it though, so I don't think that is a problem 14:45:09 ... perhaps it would be helpful to have Rigo join a call 14:45:16 ... e.g. to get some momentum behind it 14:45:21 AB: that's fine with me 14:46:08 RB: is we set something up, we should tell the PAG 14:46:29 AB: good point; we should probably re-use the PAG conference time + day of week 14:47:44 AB: coming back to URI spec ... 14:47:51 ... what needs to be done? 14:48:02 RB: need a URI expert to take a look 14:48:14 (Spec link?) 14:48:16 ... perhaps someone from Opera can help? 14:48:30 AB: URI ED is: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/waf/widgets-uri/ 14:48:47 RB: I'm having trouble understanding some of the comments 14:49:02 ... last comment was from Julian 14:49:25 Just define the widget *URI* syntax in terms of RFC 3986 (URI), not RFC 3987 (IRI). 14:49:27 Then, state how to map strings that contain non-URI characters to URI syntax (such as UTF-8-encode-then-percent-escape). 14:49:29 (This is something that might change when IRIbis is done, but as far as I understand, this is how it works right now). 14:49:33 http://www.w3.org/mid/4BC70C29.7000709@gmx.de 14:49:45 that's the sort of stuff that confuses me :) 14:50:02 (especially the last bit) 14:50:07 http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/526 14:51:07 AB: so then from a resource perspective, to move the URI scheme spec fwd, it appears we need some additional help 14:51:22 RB: yes, it would be good to get some help 14:51:48 AB: can Opera help here Marcos/ 14:52:02 MC: yes, I can help 14:52:14 AB: that would be great 14:52:31 SP: re Julian's email ... 14:52:42 ... IRIs over the wire get converted to URIs 14:52:50 ... there is an encoding from IRI to URI 14:53:18 RB: for our case, the URI doesn't go over the wire 14:53:46 ... these widget: URIs do not get typed into a browser, for example 14:53:53 SP: so how is it used? 14:54:04 RB: in an ideal world it isn't used 14:54:16 ... but it does need to be in the DOM 14:54:35 ... and only valid within a widget package 14:55:14 RB: thinks like network encoding just don't apply to our use case 14:55:29 ... the IETF requirements are strict 14:55:39 ... and don't necessarily apply in our scenario 14:56:22 AB: the A&I database includes Actions for the URI spec 14:56:37 Topic: view-mode Media Feature spec 14:56:42 AB: any implementation data for VMMF ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vmmf/imp-report/ )? 14:57:06 MC: I don't think anyone implements it yet 14:57:23 ... we still implement the old stuff i.e. we don't use the new names 14:57:49 AB: any commitments from other implementers? 14:58:04 MC: no 14:59:44 Topic: Updates spec 14:59:50 AB: Richard has recently updated the Updates spec ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-updates/ ). How close is this spec to being feature complete and hence ready for LC? 15:00:19 MC: I think it is pretty close to being feature complete 15:00:38 ... I think we need to get some review 15:01:13 "On receiving an HTTP 410 Gone response, the user agent must terminate the widget update and remove the installed widget." 15:01:52 MC: http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-updates/#acquiring-an-update-description-document 15:02:03 ... think there is some work that needs to be done 15:03:22 AB: do you expect a CfC for LC this year? 15:03:40 MC: not clear yet 15:04:03 -Steven 15:04:48 Topic: AOB 15:04:56 AB: re next call: TBD base on agenda topics (definitely no meeting on Nov 25). 15:05:21 RB: makes sense re TBD for Dec 2 15:05:24 MC: agree 15:06:00 AB: meeting adjourned 15:06:08 -darobin 15:06:12 -Art_Barstow 15:06:23 -Marcos 15:06:23 RRSAgent, make minutes 15:06:23 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-wam-minutes.html ArtB 15:06:25 IA_WebApps(Widgets)9:00AM has ended 15:06:29 Attendees were +1.479.524.aaaa, Art_Barstow, Steven, Marcos, darobin 15:06:44 RRSAgent, make log Public 15:06:50 RRSAgent, make minutes 15:06:50 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-wam-minutes.html ArtB 15:09:46 darobin: I think I figured out how to do the i18n thing... unescape(escape(widget.name)) 15:11:53 zakim, bye 15:11:53 Zakim has left #wam 15:24:01 Steven has left #wam 15:29:15 anne has joined #wam 16:20:14 MikeSmith has joined #wam 17:27:15 rrsagent, bye 17:27:15 I see 2 open action items saved in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-wam-actions.rdf : 17:27:15 ACTION: barstow Ask the I18N WG to review the new Section 7 of the TWI spec [1] 17:27:15 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-wam-irc#T14-33-30 17:27:15 ACTION: barstow followup with the Team on the status and plan for the WARP PAG [2] 17:27:15 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-wam-irc#T14-40-02
