New Issues This Week

paulc: there are two TrackerRequests that will likely be converted to issues; this does not require chairs to do that
... in all likelihood, the chairs will move to a call for change proposals

Items Closed Last Week

paulc: none

Items Closing This Week

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0092.html

<pimpbot> Title: CfC: Publish HTML5 Edition for Web Authors as First Public Working Draft from Sam Ruby on 2011-06-07 (public-html@w3.org from June 2011) (at lists.w3.org)

paulc: although it has been published, it has never been published as a public working draft

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0195.html

<pimpbot> Title: CfC addendum: Status wording for HTML5 Edition for Web Authors from Maciej Stachowiak on 2011-06-14 (public-html@w3.org from June 2011) (at lists.w3.org)

paulc: maciej sent out two options, and so far we have input that some can't live with option 2
... the chairs will likely process this item on monday

julian: will we make any effort to make the content of the author spec consistent with the last call spec?

paulc: mike has been traveling so we haven't been able to close this, but he has said that it was generated from an incorrect version

<Julian> +1 on both

paulc: furthermore, it is our intent to make it look like a working draft (frontmatter, status, etc)

<Zakim> MikeSmith, you wanted to say yeah, doable

MikeSmith: I've been with unpredictable connectivity, the fact the documents were out of sync was not intentional
... it is easy enough to do
... as to style, we probably will need to do that, but part of the intent is to make it more author friendly, and the standard W3C style is not particularly friendly.... but we are likely to be stuck with that
... this may make some more happy and some less happy, but I can get that work done

<Julian> can't we improve the style consistently for both?

<MikeSmith> Julian, yeah, wish we could, but that's a bigger fish to fry

paulc: we want to thank you for doing all of the heavy lifting for the publication cycle; it takes a lot of work to produce 9 docs

<MikeSmith> :)

paulc: the chairs will follow up with Tab
... I'll explicity copy janina on the status
... you have a lot of items, we encourage you to spring loose as many as you can as early as possible
... any other items?

janina: one more on issue-31 dealing with figcaption.... we generally agree with the decision, but there are other specific cases where figcaption is not acceptable as a fallback (e.g. in epub and scientific pubs).

paulc: it either is a reconsider or a new bug

janina: we will raise it more broadly on the WG lists

paulc: once we see it on the list, we will start to track it
... this discussion has been useful, and the chairs will follow up on the remaining two items

<Zakim> Julian, you wanted to talk about http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12952 which has TrackerRequest keyword

<pimpbot> 1112952: shelleyp, P3, RESOLVED WONTFIX, 13remove typemustmatch

paulc: the chairs will look into this...we are working on the decision policy

<pimpbot> 1112935: bzbarsky, P2, RESOLVED WONTFIX, 13<rt> should not auto-close ancestors
