<timeless> Zakim: aabb is cathy
AB: I sent a draft agenda to the
list on December 2 (
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2010OctDec/0009.html
). Any change requests?
... I realize the time is not convenient for some time zones
and we can discuss that during the Any Other Business (AOB)
agenda item.
AB: we can take a few minutes for introductions. At a minimum, please say "hi" so we can start to recognize peoples' voices; would also be good to know if you are a newcomer/newbie to W3C (or not).
DS: I work for W3C
... I expect to be an Editor
... I helped create this WG
JS: I work for Nokia on
Mozilla
... been in WebApps for a while
SM: I work for Opera
... mostly on TV
... but previously on mobile
... and DOM kinetics stuff
... He's work out of Korea
OP: I work for Mozilla
... I also participate in WebApps, HTML and speech
CC: I work for Nokia
... I'm new in W3C
DT: I go by "Tran"
... been in W3C for a couple of years
... HTML and DAP
... work in mobile space
... browser for Intel
MB: I work for Mozilla on mobile
FF
... fennec is the name of the project
AB: want to spend just a couple
of minutes re the WG's Work Mode which is documented in (
http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/WorkMode
).
... this WG's Work Mode is based on the way the WebApps WG does
its technical work which is mostly via e-mail. This is very
different from a lot of W3C WGs and other Standards
Organizations.
... one of my "pet peeves" is meetings for the sake of meetings
so we will only have meetings when there is a relatively clear
need to do so.
... the one point I want to emphasize is that Editors have
significant freedom when writing a spec so if a spec is
important to you, you should follow the latest Editor's
Draft.
DS: we use commit first and then
review
... Editors write the spec
... then expect people to read it from CVS
... but we will only formally publish a spec after the group
has had a chance to review it
... If you find a problem with an Editor's Draft (ED), you will
always have time to raise issues
... I edit D3E spec
... but am not an expert when it comes to touch interface
events
... as such, I am hoping to get inputs and content from other
WG members
... I definitely want to hear about other approaches
AB: any questions?
JS: are we going to use CVS or Hg?
DS: we will probably use
Mercurial
... I haven't used Mercurial
... but if that's what people want, then that's what I'll
do
JS: I can help as can others from Mozilla
AB: we use an explicit Call for
Consensus e-mail to gather input on consensus for some issue or
question
... e.g "CfC to publish a document"
DS: to help move things quickly,
I propose over the next month or so that I put together a draft
or two
... one for touch interface
... and the other for higher-level stuff
... I propose I start on those docs as soon as possible
... Does that seem reasonable?
DT: what do you mean by "high level"
DS: things like "undo" or
"zoom"
... but not touch-start
... or "pinch" which is a gesture
DT: where do UCs come into play?
SM: Tran asked the same question
I was going to ask
... is the plan to merge these two specs?
DS: I think keeping them separate
makes sense
... the higher intentional events need to work with different
modalities
... but the split or not is a bit premature and I want to
listen to other's input
... but think it will help during bootstrapping
AB: before we move to UCs, Reqs,
Landscape, ... want to take a quick look at what the charter
states as in scope ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/#scope
) and what is explicitly Out of Scope ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/#out-of-scope
)
... Doug wrote the charter so I'd like him to briefly talk
about scope
DS: the out of scope constraint
is because of concerns about Intellectual Property
... The charter describes 4 layers
... physical, gestural, representational and intentional
... Physical: about a user doing something directly
... Gestural: physical action e.g. two fingers that move
together; these events are not in scope
... gestures like pinch are common on various devices
... Representational: the highest level of abstraction in the
event model; e.g. zooming in, panning
... Intentional: defines what the user "intended" to do
... e.g. "the user intended to zoom in/out"
... In scope: Physical + Representational
... for example, can zoom in thru different physical
actions
... in some devices, physical events can be different than
other devices
... We need to define these two separately
... I think it is OK if we talk about gestures
<timeless> proscriptive :)
DS: but we can't define then in a
prescriptive or normative way
... the W3C Patent Policy defines the framework for normative
text
... If we talk about gestures, we must do so in a non-normative
way
... For example, gestures can be included in a non-normative
Landscape document
... A normative definition of gestures is explicitly out of
scope
AB: any comments on this?
DT: so the specs will deal with which levels?
DS: one for Physical and one spec for Representational
<smaug_> http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Group/Drafts/1.1/intent-based-events.html
<shepazu> http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/Landscape
DS: look at the Intent Based
Events spec
... it was done in 2003
... I anticipate us defining something like these events
... for example, undo, drag
... some of these could be modal depending on the context or
mode
DT: is Apple on this call
AB: the WG participants are: http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=45559&public=1
DS: it's possible that as we
proceed, we may be able to get other Members
... to join as they see where we are headed
AB: Cathy sent some use cases and
Requirements to the list on November 18 (
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2010OctDec/0005.html
)
... any comments on Cathy's input?
... please send comments as well as other UCs and Reqs inputs
to the list. For the purposes of gathering this type of
non-normative data, I don't think our charter constrains our
scope.
JS: re Cathy's input, it mentions "tactile" and I don't think that is in scope
DS: the charter is silent on
that
... I think we can talk about it
<cchan4> That's correct.
<cchan4> It's not supposed to be there.
<cchan4> I'll remove it and repost.
AB: we should consider that part
of Cathy's input as void
... it wasn't meant to be included
DS: so you want to exclude it?
AB: yes we want to exclude it because we are pursuing that in the CSS WG
DS: If the CSS WG is going to define a haptics module, we should make sure we talk to them
AB: I agree with that
<timeless> [ DS is asking for a liason ]
AB: anything else on UCs and Reqs for today?
DS: I want to encourage people to
submit more UCs and reqs
... the more data we have and the earlier on, the better
AB: Doug created a Landscape wiki ( http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/Landscape ) that includes links to relevant resources.
DS: I would like to start on one
doc right away
... want to talk about two things:
... 1) does anyone object to me starting on the first
doc?
... 2) does anyone object to two docs?
<timeless> I do not object to two documents; and I support two documents being developed concurrently now
DS: first, does anyone object me starting to edit right away?
<sangwhan> I support parallel editing of the two
AB: I hear no objections
<smaug_> I agree, two documents sounds good
DS: also want to know if anyone wants to help?
<timeless> help how? :)
OP: you mean, does anyone have the time :-)
<timeless> eek
DS: looking for a co-editor
<timeless> i'll gladly review, and if you don't mind using a piratepad or googledocs for interim bits, i can do some live edits with you
RESOLUTION: the group supports Doug starting an Editor's Draft of the spec right away
<sangwhan> I would be willing to co-edit
DS: the 2nd question, are there any objections to starting with 2 specs (and possibly merging in the future)?
AB: No objections made
RESOLUTION: the group agrees Doug can start with two specs now
AB: who is willing to help with the editing
<sangwhan> I will need to internally check with our other contacts who are not present here at the moment
DS: this isn't a one-time shot; in the future editorial help can be added too
AB: it's good to see Doug is ready to go!
DS: want to get us started right away
AB: that's excellent
AB: how about a voice conf?
DS: I like them because they help
with organizing the work
... I don't see an immediate need for one that we need to
schedule now
AB: people should contribute to the wiki docs like the Landscape
DS: agree; want this to be a
group effort
... if there are other docs, I'd like to get them
AB: yes, I have some resources I'll add to the Landscape doc
DS: we must have broad support to make this work
JS: want to talk about time slot
DS: this can be challenging
AB: this can be real
difficult
... think we need a poll
<scribe> ACTION: barstow work with Doug on a voice conference time of day that works for most people [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/08-webevents-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-1 - Work with Doug on a voice conference time of day that works for most people [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-12-15].
JS: is this a bad time for
anyone?
... it is good for me
SM: it starts at 05:00 in Korea
OP: this is a good time for me too
DS: Sangwhan, would earlier to
better for you?
... like 3 hours earlier?
<timeless> yes
SM: 2 hours would be better and 3 hours even better
AB: and 2-3 hours earlier for the FI guys?
JS: ok
OP: ok
AB: 2-3 hours would be preferred for me
DS: so if 3 hours earlier, then 11:00 Boston
<timeless> that makes it 8am cali
<timeless> or seattle
DS: FI would be 18:00
... Seattle would 08:00
... Korea would be 01:00
<timeless> so, i guess my s/// earlier was wrong, sorry
AB: ok, so next call would be 3 hours earlier
<cchan4> Not for me
DS: and the Day of Week?
<cchan4> Wednesday doesn't work for me for 11am Boston
AB: is this day a problem for
anyone?
... understood Cathy
<cchan4> Any other day is fine
<timeless> fridays don't work for me in the winter
JS: the agenda should include all of the timezones
DS: what about Tuesday?
AB: anyone objections to
Tuesday?
... No objections raised
RESOLUTION: voice conferences on Tuesdays 11:00 Boston is acceptable
DS: how about Jan 11 for next conf?
AB: any objections?
... None heard
... next call is Jan 11 @ 11:00 Boston time
... Meeting Adjourned
